On commit 694893416576229337993a22ac0c6c486dc13b87 and with a removed node_modules, i get this on npm i:

I have a feeling it might be arch's really recent node version, which was released yesterday! @christianbundy do you get the same?

[christianbundy]

Thanks for the ping. It's working fine for me, but I'm on Node 12. Maybe it'd be worth checking to see if you can npm install sodium-native? I recently opened an issue on that repo about getting Node.js 13 prebuilds: sodium-friends/sodium-native#116

[Powersource]

Yeah something like that issue is up, in cabal-desktop I'm getting

Uncaught Error: The module '/home/me/prj/web/cabal-desktop/node_modules/sodium-native/build/Release/sodium.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 79. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 70. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

[christianbundy]

Oh, did you recently upgrade your Node.js version? If so, you'll need to rebuild your native modules.

What happened when you ran npm rebuild or npm install?

[Powersource]

npm install was what I ran to get in this situation :p and running it again or rebuild didn't change anything :/

Yeah updated to 13.6 today, but my system seems to have updated to 13 in november (haven't used cabal since then but other stuff)

[christianbundy]

Sorry, I didn't notice that your error was about cabal-desktop. My guess is that's an Electron thing, you probably need npm run postinstall for that (and make sure you're starting it with Electron 5, not Node.

Anyway, I think it would probably be best to have you try to npm install in sodium-native and file an issue there if it doesn't work with Node 13.

[Powersource]

Yep opened a new issue there now sodium-friends/sodium-native#117

Electron comes with node v12 but when you install node modules prebuild binaries will be downloaded for the nodejs version used. This is why you get the above-quoted error when you execute the Electron app.

Try running npx electron-builder install-app-deps being located in the project folder. That should download prebuilds binaries or compile them for the Electron version used. If no luck then I'd recommend trying performing these steps:

• remove ./node_modules/prebuild-install just to make sure prebuild binaries won't be downloaded/used.
• remove ./node_modules/keytar/build and ./node_modules/keytar/prebuilds
• execute npx electron-builder install-app-deps
