“Error: Failed to detect OS” with Node.js on VS Code

Question

I'm using tesseract.js to do OCR, but when I change exampleImage, I get this error. I can't find any information at all about this error. Thank you in advance.

app.js

const exampleImage = 'https://d1q6f0aelx0por.cloudfront.net/product-logos/5431a80b-9ab9-486c-906a-e3d4b5ccaa96-hello-world.png';
const Tesseract=require('tesseract.js');
const worker = Tesseract.createWorker({
  logger: m => console.log(m)
});
Tesseract.setLogging(true);
work();

async function work() {
  await worker.load();
  await worker.loadLanguage('eng');
  await worker.initialize('eng');

  let result = await worker.detect(exampleImage);
  console.log(result.data);

  result = await worker.recognize(exampleImage);
  console.log(result.data);

  await worker.terminate();
}

Console.log

Your usage and their documentations use cases not matching did you check their documentation?

• https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js/blob/master/docs/examples.md

Try to write like them for example;

const { createWorker } = require('tesseract.js');
const exampleImage = 'https://d1q6f0aelx0por.cloudfront.net/product-logos/5431a80b-9ab9-486c-906a-e3d4b5ccaa96-hello-world.png';

const worker = createWorker({
  logger: m => console.log(m), // Add logger here
});

(async () => {
  await worker.load();
  await worker.loadLanguage('eng');
  await worker.initialize('eng');
  const { data: { text } } = await worker.recognize(exampleImage);
  console.log(text);
  await worker.terminate();
})();

Nevermind, I was using too small of an image. With a larger image, the code worked fine.
