The edge module has not been pre-compiled for node.js version v6.3.0


When I try to build my app from vs2015 update3 for ios, I get this error during compile

The edge module has not been pre-compiled for node.js version v6.3.0. You must build a custom version of edge.node. Please refer to https://github.com/tjanczuk/edge for building instructions

I went to that project on github, but I couldn't find anything usefull.

also I run sudo npm i edge on mac and edge compiles fine but still can't build the app

also I cleared the npm cache on mac by sudo npm clear cache still build error

My environment on mac is:

  • node 6.3.0
  • npm 3.10.6
  • cordova 5.4.1

My environment on windows

  • Win10
  • Vs2015 update 3
  • node 6.3.0
  • npm 3.10.6
  • cordova 5.4.1

Update 1

Solution

  • In case somebody else has the same problem and saving couple of hours for him/her:

    Finally

    • downgrade the node.js to v0.12.7 (x86) on windows machine, and no change on mac machine,
    • clear cordova cahce in visual studio->tools->options->tools for apache cordova

    and then it start building fine for ios
