node-net-reconnect fails to install on node LTS version 10.16.3 or 12.16.2

[huwylphi]

it seems that building the dependency to net-keepalive throws exceptions like
../../nan/nan_object_wrap.h:24:25: error: ‘class Nan::Persistentv8::Object’ has no member named ‘IsNearDeath’

[stefanpoeter]

I would say you should contact the guys from the net-keepalive module then.

[ceremcem]

This issue should be reopened and a proper workaround should be provided by this repo because a failing dependency is also a first-class issue of the dependent project.

[ceremcem]

You are using net-keepalive: ^0.4.1 and current net-keepalive version is 1.3.2. Please consider updating this dependency.

[stefanpoeter]

The branch dev/1.0 contains the required changes. Does not build on node v8 but does compile on node v12. Can you check if it builds on v10?

[ceremcem]

dev/1.0 branch does not help:

$ npm i --save Cloud-Automation/node-net-reconnect#dev/1.0

@ceremcem Did you manage to solve this?

[ceremcem]

It's been a long time, so I can't remember the exact details. However, my application works quite well, so I assume it's been fully resolved by this, so https://github.com/BinaryFissionGames/node-net-reconnect#master solved the issue.
