node-canvas error: node-gyp failed to rebuild. Error C2429: language feature 'terse static assert' requires compiler flag '/std:c++17'

[GitMurf]

I am struggling to get electron-rebuild to work for node-canvas. Anyone have any ideas or starting point troubleshooting steps? Thanks!

I am using newest version of node.js LTS for windows 11 and newest version of node-canvas.

I have the same issue, but when trying to compile midi. Using electron-rebuild@3.2.9, targeting electron@21.2.3.

I had no issues before when using electron-rebuild@3.2.7, targeting electron@15.3.5.

is there any progress ?

Unfortunately there is not. The ultimate solution is porting node-canvas from NaN to N-API. I am currently trying to get this done but have no experience in the c/c++ world so it is a long process for me but I am hopeful will get together a node-canvas fork using Node-API that will work with Electron in the next couple weeks :) I will make sure to post details here and hopefully eventually the node-canvas team will allow for a PR to integrate officially.

See the following:

• Canvas.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ... GetBackingStore Automattic/node-canvas#2165
• Electron-rebuild canvas fails with nan 2.14.1, works with 2.14.0 nodejs/nan#892
• Weird and inexplicable crashes when using TypedArrayContents nodejs/nan#922 (comment)
• N-API support for node-canvas Automattic/node-canvas#923

The best solution is to upgrade to the latest version, including Electron, and most importantly to configure the build environment for 'node-gyp'
