NODE_MODULE_VERSION error

[pamarti]

/node_modules/node-expat/build/Release/node_expat.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 59. 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).

node-expat : 2.3.16
node: 8.10
npm: 5.6
electron: 1.8.4

I also used electron-rebuild to build the package to new target node version
I also used node-gyp to rebuild node-expat. Nothing helped.

Any ideas to fix this issue?

Same here. Any solution to this? It occurred after I upgrade from node 8.12.0 to node 10.13.0. I am using node-expat via xml2json. The error I get is when I run my node app:

/root/workspace/myapp/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:88
		throw e
		^

I have the same problem. I tried building on 8.x, 10.x and 11.x. I am also using node-expat only as dependency of xml2json.

EDIT: I solved my problem. Apparently electron sets this value higher than the current latest. I had to add electron-rebuild as postinstall hook which in turn compiled node-expat with the correct version.

Has anyone found a solution to this outside of electron?
I've got the exact same issue as the OP but running on an Ubuntu server.

[hefc2016]

I have same error with node-expat.

Could anyone who fixed this issue share the solution ouside elelctron?

[sriramtorvi]

I had the same issue
Downgrading the node version and running npm rebuild helped me.

Running npm rebuild helped me, but what is the equivalent on yarn?
