Missing prebuilds/node when using node v23

[c100k]

How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

I've just upgraded my codebase to node v23. After running yarn install and yarn start, my Node app using Realm does not start anymore saying Cannot find module '/home/app/node_modules/realm/prebuilds/node/realm.node'.

And indeed, ls -la node_modules/realm/prebuilds shows only android and apple.

When I switch back to node v22 and run yarn install and yarn start again, it works as node_modules/realm/prebuilds contains android, apple and node.

Stacktrace & log output

Error: Cannot find module '/home/app/node_modules/realm/prebuilds/node/realm.node'.

Same issue here, but your solution has no success
(Node:v22.14.0, Realm: 12.11.0)

nvm use 22
rm -rf node_modules && yarn install
ls -la node_modules/realm/prebuilds # OK => contains android, apple and (NOT NODE)

We have the same issue after upgrading node from 22.13.1 to 22.14.0. Updating the prebuild-install dependency of Realm to version 7.1.3 (see related issue) fixed the problem for us. This can be done by running npm update prebuild-install and does not require an update of Realm.
