Could not locate the bindings file. #85

I am using NWJS for my desktop application. NWJS + osc.js works great on Linux and Mac, but on Windows, I get the following error message while loading my app (just by calling require("osc")).

Uncaught Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried: → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\build\serialport.node → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\build\Debug\serialport.node → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\build\Release\serialport.node → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\out\Debug\serialport.node → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\Debug\serialport.node → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\out\Release\serialport.node → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\Release\serialport.node → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\build\default\serialport.node → D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\compiled\7.7.3\win32\x64\serialport.node at bindings (D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\bindings\bindings.js:88:9) at Object.

(D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\lib\serialport.js:12:25)

The file in question is located at D:\OSC_MON\node_modules\serialport\build\Release\serialport.node, but bindings.js can't locate it.

Any idea why?

Thanks!

Node's native module serialport probably needs a rebuild to work with NWJS : http://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/For%20Users/Advanced/Use%20Native%20Node%20Modules/

If you don't need the serialport backend, this trick might also work for you: https://github.com/colinbdclark/osc.js/issues/69

Thanks for the tips! I actually solved it using this method: https://github.com/cotejp/serial-port-binaries-for-nwjs

I hope this will be useful for someone else out there having the same problem!

Thanks!
