node-gyp rebuild noble-uwp error

[hoffmannjan]

Hi,

I'm trying to do electron-rebuild (as well as node-gyp rebuild which is the part of electron-rebuild) noble-uwp and after installing Windows SDK (matching version) and VS 2015 Express and also windows-build-tools i got this error

Any ideas?

I've never messed with any flags, neither in system settings nor in noble-uwp configuration files.

Because this package includes 7 separate native modules, not just one, node-gyp rebuild alone doesn't do the right thing. That is why there is a build.cmd there.

I don't know how you can integrate that into electron-rebuild; I don't have experience with Electron development.

I have thought about separating the 7 UWP modules into npm dependency packages, so that node-pre-gyp can work. I guess that would also solve this problem.

Cool , the build.cmd do the trick, thanks for answer ;).

Hi,
I also try to use noble-uwp in my electron project but I cannot.
The error log is next , by seeing this electron and noble-uwp is not completely matched.

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\itome\Projects\MaBeeeElectron\node_modules\noble-uwp\uwp\windows.foundation\binding\electron-v1.6-win32-x64\binding.node'

@hoffmannjan seem to done well , so if you have some tips to run noble-uwp in electron. please tell me.
I already tried install.cmd (build.cmd renamed).

Same problem here. I'm not sure what to do to make it work in Electron. I tried using electron-rebuild but that gives me an error: Undefined variable module_name in uwp\windows.foundation\binding.gyp while loading dependencies of binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp.

I have both VS2015 and VS2017 installed. Although I have node 6.11 on my system it only seems to install for v48 and v57, according to the folder names in the binding folder.

Also are there differences between 32 and 64 bit Windows with regards to (Noble) UWP? My Electron application uses the 32 bit version (ia32), v1.4.15 to be precise, runs fine on 64 bit Windows too, don't know about the UWP part.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

module_name is likely to be node-pre-gyp dependences. (nodejs/node-gyp#508)
And node-pre-gyp not completery supported by electron. (https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules.md)
But I cannot rebuild noble-uwp by node-gyp.

I opened new issue -> #31

@Janneman84 I found the way to rebuild noble-uwp for electron.
Please see this issue #31
