Problem with installation

[thefakhreddin]

Hello.
I've been trying to install this package for days via npm i under the title of bluetooth-serial-port which was not successful.
After going through days of struggle and almost checking every possible thing, I accidentally noticed that that the name of the repo is in fact node-bluetooth-serial-port but the readme file instructed to use npm i bluetooth-serial-port (the word "node" is missing).
And I guess that was it. A simple name confusion.
If I'm correct, could you please clarify this in the readme to prevent further confusion?
Thanks.

Thank you for your comment.

The name this module is registered with on npm is bluetooth-serial-port. Hence the instruction.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/bluetooth-serial-port

[eelcocramer]

As a matter of fact you are installing a fork of this module.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-bluetooth-serial-port

The repo for that cab be found here:

https://github.com/tinyprinter/node-bluetooth-serial-port

@eelcocramer

Thanks for your quick response.
So I ran npm i bluetooth-serial-port --save again. I keep getting this long error. Do you have any idea what the problem might be? I've been struggling with it for days now.

node -v => 16.13.1
npm -v => 8.3.0
My node-gyp is at 8.4.1 and it's set to use python 3.9 and msvs 2017. I've also tried msvs 2019 node-gyp instructions.
OS: Windows 11

I'm wondering what's the right versioning combination of the above?

Here's my error:

See #309

tl;dr; this module is deprecated and does not support node >= 1.13. Fix may be available in next-release branch.

[thefakhreddin]

@eelcocramer Thank you. I'm trying the branch.
I'm getting this error now:

node_modules\bluetooth-serial-port\build\Release\BluetoothSerialPort.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 93. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 89. Please try re-compiling or re-installing

I tried this but it didn't work out.

I have never had this error before, to what app is the version referring (93/89)? I guess I need to downgrade a few things.
Again, what is the latest version of node that supports your module? I probably need to downgrade my node.

[eelcocramer]

This happens when you install the module with one version of node en run it with another version. You should stick with one version for building and running.

The master branch (and npm stored code) should work with node 12.

@eelcocramer
Thanks for your hint. But I have no idea how to fix it.
I couldn't find anything useful online either. Could you please tell me how to sync these versions?

[eelcocramer]

Just remove and re-install.

[thefakhreddin]

@eelcocramer
I've done that already.
I deleted the whole node_modules folder and ran npm i. Still no luck!

[eelcocramer]

That should be enough when you ran npm i bluetooth-serial-port but when you build from source (so run npm install from the root of the checkout version of this repo) you should remove the build artefacts from the build folder or run npm rebuild.
