Could not detect abi for version 12.0.0 and runtime electron.

Hi When I try to rebuild a module in newly released electron 12.0.0, it fails with an error:

An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild
Could not detect abi for version 12.0.0 and runtime electron.  Updating "node-abi" might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron

how to reproduce:

npm init
npm i electron@12.0.0
npm i electron-rebuild
npm install windows-process-tree@0.2.4 --ignore-scripts
.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd -f -w windows-process-tree

Throws an error

It is interesting, because older versions (e.g. 11.2.3), and electron v12 betas (the latest: 12.0.0-beta.31, released 20 hours ago), works:

npm init
npm i electron@12.0.0-beta.31
npm i electron-rebuild
npm install windows-process-tree@0.2.4 --ignore-scripts
.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd -f -w windows-process-tree

os: windows 10 node: 14.16.0

@lstolcman, I found better solution from @jacobq, contributor of node-abi: https://github.com/lgeiger/node-abi/issues/102#issuecomment-831355695

Any news on this issue?

I guess we have to wait till new release

I solved the issue by forcing install specific version of node-abi before rebuilding:

npm install node-abi@2.20.0
.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd ....
