+1

I tried npm install canvas, then had another error error: uncaughtException: Image or Canvas expected date

[linrongbin16]

+1, same issue PluginError: Error with plugin "autocover": Cannot find module '../build/Release/canvas'

[darth-veitcher]

Just got this on MacOS

• CLI version: 2.3.2
• GitBook version: 3.2.3
• canvas@1.6.9

After wiping the local node_modules and reinstalling again it seems as though the plugin just doesn't fire anymore (no cover gets created so assume it fails silently during build).

PluginError: Error with plugin "autocover": libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I fix it by modify the package.json of YOURBOOKDIR/node_modules/gitbook-plugin-autocover the line:

"canvas": "1.3.15"

to

"canvas-prebuilt": "latest"

and then run npm install in the gitbook-plugin-autocover.

Also I have note that on my macOS, the node-gyp rebuild will use python 3.6.5 which is not supported. You can set node-gyp rebuild --python=python2.7 or npm config set python python2.7. In case you want to rebuild the original canvas.
