Thanks for the report but you're in the wrong bug tracker. If you look at the build logs, you'll see The best advice I can give you is to check on a case-by-case basis what version of what modules works with what version of node/electron. Take for example this error:

Hello everyone, I am currently working on an electron app which requires the module node-bluetooth and, consequently, node-gyp too. Currently, I have this fully operational environment:
Everything works perfectly fine but I need to update Electron to one of the latest versions and, when I do, I become unable to get the app to work properly due to complications with node-bluetooth and node-gyp. This is what I did to perform the update (in this exact order):
package-lock.jsonandnode-modulesfolder in the electron app main folderC:\Users\Joaquim\...npm install -g [email protected]while following instructions provided both at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp and https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejs-guidelines/blob/master/windows-environment.md#compiling-native-addon-modulesnpm config set msvs_version 2017 --global,npm config set python python2.7 --global. Everything was checked through the .npmrc document, the commandnpm config ls -land the commandnode-gyp configure build. Also followed these instructions: node-bluetooth causing build error lsongdev/node-bluetooth#40 (comment)By the end of this, my new, updated, environment was the following:
Then, I opened the Powershell with admin rights in main folder of the Electron app and ran
npm install electron@latestfollowed bynpm installwhich, unfortunately, threw the following error when installing node-bluetooth:(Check Complete Error Log Here!)
After looking through similar issues in github and stackoverflow, I read that one possible solution was to downgrade the Nodejs version to 11.X. So, I repeated the previous approach using Node v11.15.0 instead of v12.16.3. Once again, I purged everything from Node-gyp to the package-lock and node-modules and fresh installed all of them again. Thus, my new final environment was the following:
Initially, with this setup, I also had node-gyp v5.1.0 and the same installation error as previosly described. However, after updating node-gyp to v6.1.0, I finally managed to install the module node-bluetooth (which did not happen when using node-gyp v6.1.0 and node 12.16). The final step was to run the command
.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmdand start the electron app. However, when rebuilding the app, the following error was thrown when rebuilding node-bluetooth:(Check Complete Error Log Here!)
I have been banging my head against this for a week already and have yet to find a working solution. I am new to programming in Electron and Nodejs, so I am probably overlooking something obvious but I would be really thankful if someone could help me out.
TL;DR: I am trying to update the Electron version of a project but npm install/electron rebuild fail due to problems with node-gyp and node-bluetooth.
