Could not detect abi for version ...

[4ltfour]

I got a fresh install of MM and first thing to do was to install this module. When I first tried to install it, I got this error message:

An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild
Could not detect abi for version 35.3.0 and runtime electron. Updating "node-abi" might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron
Error: Could not detect abi for version 35.3.0 and runtime electron. Updating "node-abi" might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron

I can´t adress the exact issue, but I found a workaround, for anyone, that runs into the same issue:

• navigate to the folder of the module
• delete "node_modules" folder and "package-lock.json"
• run the install-cmd again

cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Buttons
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install

I recommend to use my fork: https://github.com/KristjanESPERANTO/MMM-Buttons

I could get rid of the electron-rebuild dependency 🙂
