Electron and serialport on raspberry pi 3, Module version missmatch error

[styoe]

Python: 2.7.9
Serialport: 3.8.6
electron prebuilt: 3.8.6
raspberry 3 linux 4.4.16-v7+
Node: 5.12.0
npm: 3.8.6

I cannot get the app to run without the Module version missmatch error. I followed a bunch of tutorials here, suggesting rebuilding the module, changing node & npm & electron versions, and so far i have managed to change the error from:
"Expected 49, got 46" to "Expected 49, got 47" to "Expected 49, got 48".

Do you please have any more ideas, or point me in the right direction as i am clueless by now.

I tried clearing the npm cache, rebuilding all modules, rebuilding just serialport, deleting node modules and reinstalling them. Using node-gyp to rebuild the binaries... I think i tried every solution out there.

So far, by logging the line before the line that breaks in the node_modules/bindings/bindings.js have managed to isolate the problem ( i think ) to serialport/dist/Release/serialport.node

Here is the log:

eres-one@1.0.0 start /home/pi/eres-one/app
electron main.js

MY LOG

/home/pi/eres-one/app/node_modules/serialport/build/serialport.node
/home/pi/eres-one/app/node_modules/serialport/build/Debug/serialport.node
/home/pi/eres-one/app/node_modules/serialport/build/Release/serialport.node

END MY LOG

The 46, 47, 48 versions i managed to get correlate to the node versions i installed.

46 for node < 4, 47 for node 5.* and 48 for node 6.*

The problem is that it is still 48 for the latest node arm build, and as far as i can see. te official page states
Version LTS Date V8 npm NODE_MODULE_VERSION[1]

Node.js v6.3.1 2016-07-21 5.0.71.57 3.10.3 48

Please help me solve this,
Thanks in advance

@styoe node-serialport uses node-pre-gyp

This means you need to force a rebuild. You can do this by setting --build-from-source when calling node-pre-gyp.

How are you calling electron-rebuild? CLI or node API?

[styoe]

I tried exclusively from cli, using various options, you think that might be the problem?

[MarshallOfSound]

Have you tried the node-pre-gyp fix CLI param

https://github.com/electron/electron-rebuild/blob/master/src/cli.js#L27

[styoe]

Yes, but i dont think the problem is there, it's in the versions of node missmatch if i am not mistaken, no? So i installed node-prebuilt and serialport, then i tried node rebuild, still the same... then i tried using node-gyp with various commands on node-serialport, still the same. then i tried rebuilding electron, still the same.
The link you posted should fix the wrong path error, not the module version missmatch error if i'm not mistaken, no?

@styoe The issue you are seeing (as far as I am concerned) it that electron-rebuild isn't rebuilding serialport because it uses electron-pre-gyp which downloads prebuilt binaries for different node versions.

As such it downloads the binary for your current node version which is why you saw the number increase as you increase node versions. You can force it to build from source using the node-pre-gyp install --build-from-source command that I mentioned before.

[styoe]

Ok, thank you. I think i already tried that but will try again in a few hours, and report the result

[styoe]

ok, i tried node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -f -w serialport -p , no luck
node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -f -w serialport , no luck
node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -f -p , no luck (this one took a while)

i also tried positioning in node_modules/serialport and running node-pre-gyp install --build-from-source and with no luck.

Funny thing is, electron-rebuild provides no console output even though my logging level is set to silly.
Is that normal?

Another thing, before rebuilding the error was thrown in ../serialport/node-modules...bindings.js and now it is thrown at (/home/pi/eres-one/app/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:77:44
but for the same Release/serialport.node file.

[styoe]

i am running out of ideas here

[styoe]

Allright! i managed to get it working by running sudo npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.2.5 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --build-from-source
and by bumping my electron version to 1.2.6 :)

Thank you for your help

@styoe do you solve this problem?,my Serialport module is success ,but node-usb module has zhe same problem,

[qqnp1100]

@styoe I didn't see your last reply. I try run sudo npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.2.5 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --build-from-source
now it's working ,thanks

Np mate

Appears to be resolved now
