Errors when using Node 12.0.0 in Windows 10

[franckadil]

My Setup

• Operating System: Windows 10 x64 / Version: 1809
• App Version: 2.15.2-Develop

• I have tested with the latest version
• I can simulate the issue easily

Description

• Install Node Js 12.0.0
• Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
• Install Yarn Stable 1.15.2

git clone https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron.git
cd Rocket.Chat.Electron
yarn

Errors start at this point.

Expected Behavior

The node modules should be built.

[franckadil]

Update: I uninstalled nodejs 12.0.0 and installed node-v11.14.0-x64 and it fixed the problem.

Don't update to Node 12.0.0 yet.

@franckadil Thanks for find that out!

[lloan]

Is there work being done to support v12?

[paranoid945]

New nodejs programmer here, I got here by google search, after I switch to nodejs 10, a similar error occurred, and stackoverflow tell me to switch nodejs 8, so does anyone have a solution so I don't need to switch to nodejs v1?

[tassoevan]

@paranoid945 If you can't set the Node version, you need to check which dependencies are building native modules and if they support you Node version.

I'm closing this issue as we're running under Node v12 via Electron 10 now.
