Can't run winax with electron 13.1.4

[chpuget]

Hi,

I am using the latest winax version 3.1.5

I have upgraded to electron@latest which is currently 13.1.4 (https://www.electronjs.org/)

At runtime, I get error : ActiveXObject failed : The module '\?\C:......\node_modules\winax\build\Release\node_activex.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 89. Please try re-compiling or re-installing the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

Which is normal as I didn't rebuild for electron

Then I launch : npm rebuild winax --runtime=electron --target=13.1.0 --dist-url=https://electronjs.org/headers --build-from-source

But then I get error :
ActiveXObject failed : The module '\?\C:......\node_modules\winax\build\Release\node_activex.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 79. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 89. Please try re-compiling or re-installing the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

Do you see how to make it work ?

Thanks and regards

Chris

in my opinion --target=13.1.0 is a version of node.js see C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\node-gyp\Cache\13.1.0\include\node\node_version.h #define NODE_MODULE_VERSION 79 but need node.js version 14.16 (NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83) вт, 29 июн. 2021 г. в 01:31, chpuget ***@***.***>:

Thanks for your fast answer durs,

I have tried yesterday with many targets : 14x, 15.x, 16.x, ..., but none has a module version 89

Today, I tried this :

npm install winax --msvs_version=2017

"scripts": {
"execute": "electron .",
"rebuild": "electron-rebuild -f -w winax",
...
},

npm run rebuild

I get error :

Maybe it's because it's using VS2019 to rebuild (I have both 2017 and 2019 on my machine)

Can you retry this with 3.1.6?
For me this problem sometimes appeared and then disappeared again

3.1.5 introduced a way to build this repo as a library that broke on Electron but 3.1.6 should fix that

VS2019 works fine for me

Hi Daniel,

Can you please explain what you did exactly ?

I have the latest electron 13.1.7
{
node: '14.16.0',
v8: '9.1.269.36-electron.0',
uv: '1.40.0',
zlib: '1.2.11',
brotli: '1.0.9',
ares: '1.16.1',
modules: '89',
nghttp2: '1.41.0',
napi: '7',
llhttp: '2.1.3',
openssl: '1.1.1',
icu: '68.1',
unicode: '13.0',
electron: '13.1.7',
chrome: '91.0.4472.124'
}
On my side, I still have issues with the latest winax 3.1.6

• using "rebuild": "electron-rebuild --msvs_version=2017 -f -w winax" or "rebuild": "electron-rebuild -f -w winax" (=VS2019) : compilation error as seen above
  "disp.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class std::shared_ptr<class v8::Bac......"

• using "rebuild2": "npm rebuild winax --runtime=electron --target=14.16.0 --dist-url=https://electronjs.org/headers --build-from-source --msvs_version=2017" or "rebuild2": "npm rebuild winax --runtime=electron --target=14.16.0 --dist-url=https://electronjs.org/headers --build-from-source" (=VS2019) : the build works but module version is 83 and not 89

Hi durs,

Any idea how to solve this issue ?
The version 3.1.4 2 months ago made it work with electron 12 : ec3d098
Any way to adapt it to electron 13 ?
Thanks for your help

Chris

[Daniel-Userlane]

Interesting...
I'm currently testing it with Electron 11 only;
but I was able to reproduce your problem with electron 13.1.7.

Apparently these are related:
nodejs/nan#892
electron/electron#29893

I am also getting the same error with the latest electron. Please let us know if there is any workaround or fix is coming.

thanks for the fix, and sorry for delay, I close the issue
