Cannot build on windows 10 for any node > v10 #587

Closed ivanix1 closed 4 years ago

ivanix1 commented 4 years ago

I have been trying to install robotjs into my nodejs based testing project, but always fails at install. I use yarn to add to my project, tried npm install but that fails with same error.

Has anyone experienced this issue? On install, it tries to build (no prebuild) but always fail. I need to use on node v12 since other packages require that major. Reviewed the build how to, and reviewed other issues here regarding building on windows and tried the many ways of compiling, even on node v10 it doesn't build. I verified that the source files exist. I tried building from Powershell initially, but also tried from cmd.exe. no luck.

Expected Behavior

It should build and install with out issue.

Current Behavior

I always get these error message no matter for node versions 10.x, 12.x ` "c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\src\robotjs.cc': No such file or directory"

The root cause is due to bug in VisualStudio msbuild.exe where it cannot find source files in folder paths with case sensitive enabled. The original project path was created from WSL and the root folders start with capital letters. Workaround was to disable case sensitve and copy project to lowercase folder path (C:\tmp\project).
