“serialport” node module version error message confusing












2















Does the following node error mean I need to upgrade the serialport module, or downgrade nodejs, or something else? (It used to work until I updated ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04)



Error: The module '../node_modules/@serialport/bindings/build/Release/bindings.node' 
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 67. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).


I have tried:



rm package-lock.json;
rm -rf node_modules;
npm install
npm rebuild
npm install serialport --build-from-source
sudo npm install serialport --unsafe-perm --build-from-source


Is there a simple way to fix this?

          Completely removed nodejs npm, reinstalled, ran nodejs main.js and then installed packages as necessary using npm. Works now.

          • npm rebuild should have taken care of it. Sounds like something got stuck somehow. Was your module installed globally by chance?

          • Possibly, I think I had at some point installed node with sudo in a different location at some point in the past, and it was hanging on to those definitions. I searched and removed any instances I could find and then reinstalled and that solved it. Thanks.
