node.bcrypt.js: Error: Cannot find module '...../bcrypt/lib/binding/napi-v3/bcrypt_lib.node'

Ok for anyone else having this issue here is how I solved it, I had to compile it manually for some reason: cd node_modules/bcrypt node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Below solved the issue:

1. // delete node_modules , or rename node_modules to something else
2. npm cache clean --force
3. npm i

@Shishoo it appears that your bcrypt DLL is missing. Run npm rebuild bcrypt

I fixed this issue this way. On the terminal from root folder of the project: cd node_modules/bcrypt make

@recrsn Hi Amitosh - with reference to your previous post here on 27/12/2017, I did try npm rebuild bcrypt - unfortunately this didn’t work.

sudo npm i --unsafe-perm after that install bcrypt

its works for me ubuntu 18.04

This works for me on newly installation on Windows 10/VSC, nodeJS v14.15.1. Thanks a lot!

node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build… solved my issue too thanks
