The specified module could not be found, with electron v4.0.0.

See original GitHub issue

With electron 3.0.12 everything seems to work fine. Changed version to 4.0.0, removed node_modules, did npm i, all ok.

If I run electron-rebuild, the command runs, but it does not rebuild the sharp module, does not seem it’s picking it up. If I run require('sharp') I get: The specified module could not be found

If I cd to node_modules/sharp and try to recompile it manually: node-gyp rebuild --target=4.0.0 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron and try require('sharp') I still get The specified module could not be found.

Note: I have checked and sharp.node is present at the specified path.

v0.22.1 now available with prebuilt binaries for Electron 4 and 5.

Please remember to run electron-rebuild (which may itself also need updating to pick up the new ABI versions),

I’ve opened a PR to help ensure prebuilt binaries for the latest Electron 4 / ABI 69 will soon be available - see https://github.com/prebuild/prebuild-ci/pull/16
