compiling with wrong NODE_MODULE_VERSION ?

“electron-builder”: “^20.38.5”,

Windows

I can’t figure this out

node_modules\sqlite3\lib\binding\electron-v4.0-win32-x64\node_sqlite3.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 64. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 69. Please try re-compiling or re-installing the module (for instance, using npm rebuildornpm install).

what is NODE_MODULE_VERSION 69 anyways? electron is 4.0.4 everything else build fines just sqlite3 anyone know how what i can do to fix this? i tested it out with electron-rebuild as whats on the electronjs website and that builds it fine and the electron app works but when i try to build with electron-builder i get that error.

Thanks

I have checked building the app with following versions and the build is successful

{
    "dependencies": {
        "sqlite3": "^4.0.6"
     },
    "devDependencies": {
        "electron": "4.0.3",
        "electron-builder": "^20.38.5",
        "electron-rebuild": "^1.8.4",
    }
}

So you can keep everything at its latest version just keep electron at 4.0.3 and your app should build fine! The issue has something to do with specific version of electron i.e. 4.0.4 and electron-builder.

"scripts": {
        "start": "electron .",
        "postinstall": "npx electron-rebuild -f -w sqlite3",
        "build-linux-deb": "npx electron-builder --linux deb"
},
"build": {
        "npmRebuild": "false"
},
"dependencies": {
        "sqlite3": "^4.0.6"
},
"devDependencies": {
        "electron": "^4.0.5",
        "electron-builder": "^20.38.5",
        "electron-rebuild": "^1.8.4",
}

This also works fine for me!

So you can keep everything updated & just in the build key inside your package.json add npmRebuild:false, make sure that your postinstall contains rebuild command. This will rebuild all the dependencies immediately after downloading packages and when you build your app using electron-builder it won’t rebuild again because npmRebuild is set to false.

The issue is with electron-builder, when it tries to rebuild packages while building app it fails!
So you can either use this comment of mine or this one 😃

I am sure devs will fix this asap till then these are the workarounds 😃
