This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 87.

[IvanOnishchenko]

If I use Node 13 or 14, node install works well, but when I try to start app (node start) I get error:

\node_modules\usb-detection\build\Release\detection.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 79. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 87. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

But I don't see 87 version on nodej.org, 14 has 83 version, 15 has 88 version.

If I use Node 15, I get error while node install command running:

Also I tried following next steps:

1. If you have not installed electron-rebuild just install it with the command: `npm i -D electron-rebuild`
2. Remove from the `node_modules` folder the `usb-detection` folder.
3. Remove the file `package-lock.json`, this is suggested for ensure a clean installation, but you can try first without remove it.
4. Run `npm i` to install non-installed modules.
5. And finally run `./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild`

$ ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

Maybe you need to run through these steps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51027262/796832 (from https://stackoverflow.com/a/51027262/796832)

I just Googled UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc0 in position. I don't have any insight into building for Electron so Google will probably be a better resource here.

@IvanOnishchenko Same issue for me. Have you found a solution?

[Symbolk]

Same issues+1, though not for this project.

[mcous]

@IvanOnishchenko it looks like the issue you're describing is a problem with your computer's environment setup for compiling modules with node-gyp and has nothing to do with usb-detection.

I recommend you try out [email protected], which should have prebuilds available for electron-rebuild to download, sidestepping your computer's problems using node-gyp. Additionally, it upgrades to a newer version of node-gyp that can use Python 3 instead of Python 2. Given all of Python 2's string encoding problems, that could even be the source of your compilation issues

[qlrd]

@IvanOnishchenko Issue's and steps reproduced here (with electron 13 and electron-builder).

Resolved only with the solution proposed by @mcous: downgrade the usb-detection ^4.14.0 to [email protected].
