@robertIsaac you upgraded to Node 12, which is too early in its lifecycle. bcrypt is not NodeJS code, it is in C and needs to be compiled into binaries so NodeJS can load it. The compilation is specific to the version of NodeJS. This is the case as one of the 536 node modules on npm that require a similar compilation and node-pre-gyp is the compiling bridge for each one. With the upcoming releases of bcrypt precompiled binaries for NodeJS 12 will be added for some OS/Architectures. If you are going to do development in general though, you should really add the build tools to avoid running into issues with many of the other packages out there as well.

Yes, I am seeing this too. Here are the related issues:

This should be fixed in node v12.3.1 which should be out today.

mike-marcacci on 22 May 2019

Are docker containers going to be released of this version soon?

Yes, I am seeing this too. Here are the related issues:

This should be fixed in node v12.3.1 which should be out today.

i'm with 12.3.1 and the problem still exits

robertIsaac on 31 May 2019

@robertIsaac make sure to run npm rebuild or reinstall your dependancies after upgrading. If the problem persists and is identical to the one listed above, double check that you have 12.3.1 installed. It's very unlikely that you would receive this exact error on v12.3.1 because the file in question _does_ in fact exist. If the error is different, then you're probably experiencing a different issue.

For me, bcrypt installs and works correctly on Mac and docker containers running v12.3.1. This issue can probably be closed.

yes it's different issue

@robertIsaac indeed. It appears that you don't have python installed, which is a requirement of the build process. Once pre-built packages are out for node 12 (see #721) you won't need to build from source; but until then, your source machine will need python to build bcrypt.

If you want to discuss the python requirement, you might want to create a new issue, as I suspect @Kelektiv will be closing this one shortly, since it is fixed.

mike-marcacci on 31 May 2019

i think it's easier to drop bcrypt dependency than to install python
but it's not the only problem but also my CI is complaining about it
https://travis-ci.com/robertIsaac/orders/builds/113889331

once i dropped it, CI worked just fine

Is this still a problem? Have you tried https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/wiki/Installation-Instructions#microsoft-windows ? Can this issue be closed?

YasharF on 11 Aug 2019

Can confirm that the original issue was resolved from 12.3.1 onwards.

issue still exits with node version 12.8.0

@YasharF you're right, i was trying to install npm in v12.8.1 and nothing worked.
Switched to v11.15.0 and all good
