Node (Sync/Synchronize) cannot find fibers binaries

Question

I know, that many have already had this problem and I tried every solution I could find, but nothing helped... I'm aware of this question, but it didn't work for me :(

The problem:

It says: node_modules\fibers\bin\win32-ia32-53\fibers.node is missing. when trying to launch any Electron-edge project that uses require('fibers').

Versions and other information: I do have win32-ia32-48 and win32-ia32-57 folders. Electron.exe is 32-bit The .node files in are 32-bit as well npm fibers is at version 2.0.0

This is (supposedly) my node version: (current: {"node":"0.10.40","npm":"2.13.3"})

However, I installed the "Latest LTS Version: v6.11.1 (includes npm 3.10.10)".

I have no idea what to do. I tried for 3 days straight to get fibers to work (or sync/syncronize for that matter), but nothing helped.

Yes I did. It's installed at version 2.0.0 (that one includes the -48 and -57 folders, but it searches for -53 instead) — CiriousJoker, Jul 17 '17 at 16:43
The numerical prefixes are related to different Node.js versions, so if you updated/changed your Node, you need to reinstall `fibers`. — robertklep, Jul 17 '17 at 16:45
@robertklep Well I reinstalled fibers a bunch of times now and also reinstalled Nodejs in various versions and bit-versions — CiriousJoker, Jul 17 '17 at 16:46

Okay, so for anyone reading this, here's my solution. Big thanks to robertklep for the link to that github issue.

The problem was, that (for whatever reason) the fibers module was built for the wrong version. The version has to be identical with the expected module version.

In order to get that, you have to rebuild the module yourself. If electron-rebuild doesn't automatically get the settings right, you can specify the correct --arch (ia32/x64) and --version (electron version here) yourself. --force might help as well, at least it shouldn't have any negative side effects.

Full list of arguments.

My final command looked something like this:

electron-rebuild.cmd --arch ia32 --version 1.6.11 --force

Be sure to install Fibers >before< rebuilding it as well as the module requireing Fibers.
