VS代码：模块未自注册（node-expat）

Question

I have upgraded my version of Nodejs and npm, and after doing this I'm receiving the following error when running my nodejs application:

I saw a tons of post regarding this issue, and I tried everything exposed there like these ones:

1) Uncaught Error: Module did not self-register

2) Error: Module did not self-register" running first example of main github page (Node 0.11.13)

By executing a " npm rebuid " I see the following output in console:

As my understanding, seems to be a problem with the " node-expat " module, which I suspect that is coming from "xml2json" library. Any thougts?

EDIT 1:

I tried to do a re-install of node-expat, by running " npm install node-expat " as ADMINISTRATOR, and by looking at the log I see the following:

I'm facing exactly the same issue that this post: vscode on Windows 10: Activating extension … failed: Module did not self-register

The issue seems to be more related with VS Code rather than npm and nodejs.

Answer 1

In my case, was enough to delete the " .vscode " folder that contains the " launch.json " file. For some reason, I believe that the configured port on debug mode, was conflicting with some other application and that prevented to load the "node-expat" module properly. It had nothing to do with Nodejs and npm as I suspected.

Answer 2

I was also facing the same issue on linux rhel 7, see if it works for you too, what I found out was that I needed to install gcc libraries on my instance, so I went ahead and removed my node_modules folder and then ran the sudo yum group install "Development Tools" , and I then ran the npm install again and it worked!

Also, there is a dependency on python, so if the above step doesn't resolve this, you may want to install python too.

Hope this helps, for issues related to installing gcc libraries and Development tools, one can refer to this url also: Install gcc and dev tools
