Error: Module did not self-register and prebuild-install failed with error

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Hello,

I am having a problem trying to install and use this package in my Electron app. It worked fine in a Node.js app but not with Electron.

I have Electron.js version 28.2.0 and Node.js v18.18.1 installed.

When I try to install the package app I get this error:

build native dependency from sources  name=@thiagoelg/node-printer
                                          version=0.6.2

                                          error=prebuild-install info begin Prebuild-install version 7.1.1
    prebuild-install warn install prebuilt binaries enforced with --force!
    prebuild-install warn install prebuilt binaries may be out of date!

and I get this error when I try to run the app:

App threw an error during load

I have installed Desktop Development with C++ and Node.js development workloads installed.

We would really appreciate a fix for this as this package is essential for the the node-thermal-printer to work and I didn't find any alternative.

Thank you very much.

Hi, so bad there is no update on this, I'm also facing the same issue.

Try this out! It eliminates many common issues during version upgrades. I'm using it in my project with the latest Electron version, and it works seamlessly. The library and APIs remain consistent, as this is a fork of the original project.
