node-bluetooth causing build error

[James-Machouk]

Environments :

• Windows 10 version 1903
• Visual Studio Enterprise 2019
• Python 2.7
• node v12.9.1
• node-gyp v5.0.3

The problem
I was trying to use ESCPOS_2.5.2 when node-gyp start building the ( node-bluetooth ) module, warnings and errors start to pop on the console till

gyp ERR! build error
gyp ERR! stack Error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" failed with exit code: 1

is something with the environment causing the problem?

Same problem, please, any advice?

In my case there was a quick hack to get it to install xpc-connection, not sure if it's related to your problem, but the current version of xpc does not work with anything over node 8+. See if this helps: npm install git://github.com/taoyuan/node-xpc-connection.git

Potential Solution:

this is what i did to make it work

initalize NPM : npm init
Install Electron as dev dependencies : npm i -D electron@latest
Set this NPM Config :

• set npm_config_target=6.0.7 <- Version of electron installed
• set npm_config_arch=x64
• set npm_config_runtime=electron
• set npm_config_build_from_source=true
• set PYTHON=C:\Users\[YourUser]\.windows-build-tools\python27\python.exe
• set npm_config_node_gyp=C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js

Install the escpos package : npm install escpos --save
Rebuild electron : npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild

please be sure of the path of python & node-gyp ( it may vary on your system )

[grosseruser]

...after 6 days testing I have now a working configuration for escpos.
node v11.15.0
electron v5.0.11
electron-rebuild 1.8.5
escpos 2.5.2

Windows build tools: npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
Python 2.7.17

There might be more going on here, but I had a similar compilation issue and downgrading to Visual Studio 2017 fixed it

edit: I also had to downgrade to NodeJS 11

If you want for any reason to use the latest version of VS Studio and node you can check this solution #40 (comment)

[karthikjn01]

I'm also running into this issue now, I think it might be a good idea to update the node-bluetooth package version to be compatible?
