Module did not self-registered (use node-printer with pkg)

[germanchiefprogrammer]

Hi!

Thank you very much for this convenient module. It works great direct in node.

I use a console app with "pkg".
When i start the console application it returns an error like this:

`

printer.exe
pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1740
throw error;
^
Error: Module did not self-register: 'C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp\pkg\37a8f465fa3658617f[shortend]4e1f1df5e343@thiagoelg\node-printer\lib\node_printer.node'.

`

I tested it with pkg package.json:

"assets": [  "node_modules/@thiagoelg/node-printer/**/*"   // WITH THIS LINE INCLUDED AND NOT, THE SAME ISUE   ],

I also copied the file node_printer.node directly parallel to the new exe. The same issue.

I installed the module with:

npm install @thiagoelg/node-printer

Usage in code:

const printer = require("@thiagoelg/node-printer");
console.log(printer.getPrinters());

My versions are

• Windows 10 64bit
• Node 14.16.1
• pkg 5.3.2

Hope you can help me.

I got the same error

[nipoonp]

Try running this command

./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

You might need electron-rebuild added as a dep in package.json

Has anyone had any luck with this? I am having the same issue with Electron 19

[nipoonp]

I have been having the same issue with Electron 19. When I use electron 17 it seems to be working fine.
