no... module notfound is not there

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 7:19 AM

just so you know if it happens to you again

you can find some solution about this when you search for this error on Google

visual hollow ok.. so this is my error in short

yeah

I mean, it's the reason of the fail

getting module not found also this time

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 7:58 AM

#

it's a problem of compatibility

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 7:58 AM

#

same thing giving both isues

how to resolve compatibility

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 7:59 AM

#

If I check the correct repo, ffi-napi doesn't see to have been udpated for years

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:00 AM

#

hmm..right

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:01 AM

#

so It's not compatible with your version of Python

#

and maybe not with your version of Node either

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:01 AM

#

python get installed automatocatlly with Node js installation

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:01 AM

#

oh wait, I think I'm mistaken

#

the error must come from node-gyp, not ffi-napi

i refered this, with 27 electron, node js is 18.17

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:02 AM

#

I suggest you update node-gyp to v10

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:02 AM

#

bold fulcrum the error must come from `node-gyp`, not `ffi-napi`

ok

#

ok let me try

#

is it right way of doing it

I would have checked which library you use relies on node-gyp before doing that

which library means

did not get ur point

visual hollow which library means

no clear error in this, search for the line stating the actual error

#

and I mean that if a library you use has the dependency node-gyp then you might no be able to update it just like this

done

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:27 AM

#

errr... I don't know, could be several things I guess

#

do you have windows-build-tools installed?

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:28 AM

#

how to check? control panel/

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:28 AM

#

yeah

#

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe

#

something like this I guess

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:29 AM

#

visual studio yes i have

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:29 AM

#

okay, and with Visual Studio you can install the build tools

#

if it's not already done

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

ok

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

node_gyp needs this to work:
https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows

#

On SO people say you can install the tools using:

npm install --global windows-build-tool

But I never tried so I can't tell if it will work

#

I do remember installing the tools with Visual Studio, some years ago

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

let me check with Visual studio first

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

I'm not even sure your problem is this

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

hmm

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:36 AM

#

in the end, maybe you just use a library not compatible with the version of Python you use

#

downgrading Python could be enough

#

well, we know node-gyp 9 is incompatible with the version of Python you have at least

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:37 AM

#

for VS 2017, it is desktop developemnt c++

#

already there

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:37 AM

#

do you have MSBuild somewhere?

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:39 AM

#

yes checked the path reported in error, it is there MSBuild.exe

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:41 AM

#

bold fulcrum well, we know node-gyp 9 is incompatible with the version of Python you have at ...

ok.. with check python

#

really appreciate the inputs

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:41 AM

#

If you donwgrade Python get back to the original version of node-gyp you had

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:41 AM

#

ok

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:46 AM

#

according to the logs, when you use node-gyp 10 the version of node used in 18, while with the version 9 it was node 16

#

ffi-napi doesn't seem compatible with node 18

#

https://github.com/node-ffi-napi/node-ffi-napi/pull/255

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:47 AM

#

in package.json.. there was no node-gyp .. but now i have installed it so, not sure if it was there or with which version

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:47 AM

#

don't you use git to track changes?

#

you can restore your package.json as before

#

I don't think you would have installed node-gyp yourself

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:48 AM

#

yes i have saved the file.. so no problem on that, i can restore it

#

node install [email protected]

#

i think i used this to install explicitly

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:49 AM

#

remove node-gyp from your package.json and run npm install again to restore the version expected by your dependencies

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:50 AM

#

sure

#

yes it is resumed now

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:51 AM

#

as long as you use ffi-napi you will have to stick to node 16

#

sounds like a bad plan

#

you should find another library, this one is deprecated

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:52 AM

#

hmm ok.. requiremnt was to install everuythng latest... but yes if things are not compatible , then its better to dwngrade.. but need to confirm.. that beyond this version it is not possible to upgrade

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:53 AM

#

I'm not sure it's a good idea to downgrade

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:53 AM

#

u mean ffi-napi should be replaced with something new .. which is supported for Node js latest versions

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:53 AM

#

you will have the stay on node 16 and it means at one point you won't be able to use the latest version of Electron either

bold fulcrum Dec 1, 2023, 8:54 AM

#

visual hollow u mean ffi-napi should be replaced with something new .. which is supported for ...

yes

#

something maintained

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:54 AM

#

ok will check for thatt also

visual hollow Dec 1, 2023, 8:55 AM

hi, plz can you help how to use dll in Koffi

#

with ffi-napi.. syntax was:

#

const hUSAuthClientLib = new ffi.Library('./../hUSAuthClient.dll', {
'InitializeAuthClient' : [ 'uint32', [clientSettingPtr] ],
'DeinitializeAuthClient': [ 'void', [] ]});

#

how it should be modified with Koffi?

sorry but I never used ffi-napi nor Koffi so I don't know how to use either

#With Electron v27.1.2, getting ffi-napi error
