Issue with Nodejs 13.8.0

[averri]

I'm trying to run sharp v0.24.1 with Nodejs v13.8.0 and this is the error when running the application (which works fine with Nodejs v.12):

/home/alex/dev/src/other/strenux/strenux-api/node_modules/sharp/lib/constructor.js:34
  throw new Error(error);

Error: 
Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

Module did not self-register.

- Remove the "node_modules/sharp" directory then run
  "npm install --ignore-scripts=false --verbose" and look for errors
- Consult the installation documentation at https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install
- Search for this error at https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues

I have removed node_modules and yarn.lock and run yarn install with no success.

I cannot reproduce this with node 13.8.0 and sharp 0.24.1, except if I npm install with a different major version of node than I'm running the code with:

$ nvm use 13.8.0
Now using node v13.8.0 (npm v6.13.6)
$ npm i sharp

> sharp@0.24.1 install /home/andreas/work/throwaway/sharpz/node_modules/sharp
> (node install/libvips && node install/dll-copy && prebuild-install) || (node-gyp rebuild && node install/dll-copy)

[...]

+ sharp@0.24.1
updated 1 package in 11.626s

2 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

$ node -e "require('sharp')"
$ nvm use 12
Now using node v12.10.0 (npm v6.10.3)
$ node -e "require('sharp')"
/home/andreas/work/throwaway/sharpz/node_modules/sharp/lib/constructor.js:34
  throw new Error(error);
  ^

Are you sure that npm --versions and node --version agree? Does npm rebuild fix it?

[lovell]

• Have you ensured the platform and version of Node.js used for npm install is the same as the platform and version of Node.js used at runtime?

• If you are installing as a root or sudo user, have you tried with the npm install --unsafe-perm flag?

• If you are using the ignore-scripts feature of npm, have you tried with the npm install --ignore-scripts=false flag?

• What is the complete output of running npm install --verbose sharp? Have you checked this output for useful error messages?

Current version of npm is 6.13.7 as of 20 days ago. Using that version I'm unable to install as well with Node 13.8.0.

Update: No error when installing with yarn. This issue only happens when sharp is installed with npm through a Gatsby installation due to issues with one of it's packages which I traced to be the gatsby-source-contentful package (gatsbyjs/gatsby#16455).

Please ensure there are no conflicting or globally-installed outdated versions of sharp. The output of the following commands will help determine this:

npm ls sharp
npm ls -g sharp

I can confirm that this is an issue when running node 13.8.0. Switching to an older version doesn't trigger the error.

@ntelkedzhiev Have you ensured the platform and version of Node.js used for npm install is the same as the platform and version of Node.js used at runtime?

Yes.

@averri Were you able to make any progress with this?

I have reverted the project to Node 12.16.0. It could be reopened again if someone find a reproducible steps.
