require('canvas') errors in bindings.CanvasRenderingContext2dInit is not a function

[snajjar]

Currently, after a classic install of canvas 2.5.0 from npm, require('canvas') is not working:

TypeError: bindings.CanvasRenderingContext2dInit is not a function
at Object.<anonymous> (/mypath/node_modules/canvas/lib/context2d.js:13:10)
at Module._compile (module.js:653:30)

Issue or Feature

Investigating this, i found that requiring canvas/build/Release/canvas.node would give the following result:

> require('./canvas.node')
{ Canvas: [Function: Canvas],
Image: { [Function: Image] MODE_IMAGE: 1, MODE_MIME: 2 },
ImageData: [Function: ImageData],
CanvasRenderingContext2d: [Function: CanvasRenderingContext2D],
CanvasGradient: [Function: CanvasGradient],
CanvasPattern: [Function: CanvasPattern],
FontFace: [Function: FontFace],
cairoVersion: '1.16.0',
jpegVersion: '8',
gifVersion: '5.1.4',
freetypeVersion: '2.9.1' }

What's expected from this is the CanvasRenderingContext2dInit method but the object only provide a CanvasRenderingContext2d

Steps to Reproduce

Just install and require canvas with my environment.

Your Environment

canvas 2.5.0
node 8.15.0
Linux 4.20

This might be a variant of #1250 (mismatch of JS and C++ code). You seem to have JS from version 2.2 or later, and C++ from pre-2.2. Can you try a totally from-scratch install (delete node_modules)?

If you're still having issues, leave a comment and I'll reopen this.

Just an update that I'm experiencing this too when building for AWS Lambda

I have the same issue now with the newest version.
