canvas.node file not working with require method

[gislayer]

Hi, everyone!
I am using electron.js for my project. I need to use canvas for publishing map tiles. When I use with another empty expressjs project it is working perfect but when I use it in electron js it never worked. it's thrown me this error.

You can try in electron-quick-start repo.
As i said, even i have pulled electron-quick-start repo and added node-canvas but again i have get same issue.

App threw an error during load
Error: The module '\?....\node_modules\canvas\build\Release\canvas.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 72. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 82. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

is there any solution for that. I didn't fix it

By the way i have read your other same issues and tried but nothing changed.

@zbjornson can you help me ?

I had this same issue. Try switching to the LTS release of node (12.19.0) rather than using the current (14.13.1). That fixed it for me.

See #1511:

I get a NODE_MODULE_VERSION error

The log may look like

...was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 72.
This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 64. Please try re-compiling or
re-installing the module

This could mean you upgraded Node.js without re-installing canvas. Try running yarn or npm install again.

#1511 has additional info on use with Electron, however.
