build error when add registry-js

I confirm that the issue disappeared after adding the following to webpack configuration:

{
        test: /\.node$/,
        use: {
          loader: 'node-loader',
        },
},

Hey @zredb, I'm afraid the loh you provided doesn't give us much to go on.

Have you been able to use registry-js in the past? We've done a few recent updates so I would try installing an older version and seeing if the problem exists there as well npm install [email protected]

I have the same problem. I'm using https://github.com/juliangruber/downloads-folder which uses 1.12.0.
It worked before (In the last few monthsI don't remember exactly when.

node: v12.13.1
os: mac os 10.15.6

I´m experiencing the same issue here. Is there a workaround?

I tryed some older versions too, every version until 1.6.0. I am able to install the dependency, but when my app starts it returns the error:

 error  in ./node_modules/registry-js/build/Release/registry.node

Module parse failed: Unexpected character '�' (1:2)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
(Source code omitted for this binary file)

Maybe there is something related to my webpack config...

Apparently fixed adding node-loader to webpack.

Had the same problem using downloads-folder 1.0.4. in my VSCode extension Tried adding the node-loader as suggested, but it didn't work for me. Ended up going back to downloads-folder 1.0.3, which doesn't pull in registry-js.

That's how I solved it， but downloads-folder 1.0.3 some problems #5， This is not a good solution😂
