Research direction

Start by reproducing the node-bluetooth@1.2.6 install in the reported Windows 10, Node v12.9.1, Python 2.7, Visual Studio 2019, and node-gyp v5.0.3 environment. Inspect the node-gyp configure/build output from the node_modules\node-bluetooth directory and determine what prevents the build from completing; done means the module installs without the reported build error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Environments :

  • Windows 10 version 1903
  • Visual Studio Enterprise 2019
  • Python 2.7
  • node v12.9.1
  • node-gyp v5.0.3

The problem
I was trying to use ESCPOS_2.5.2 when node-gyp start building the ( node-bluetooth ) module, warnings and errors start to pop on the console till

gyp ERR! build error
gyp ERR! stack Error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" failed with exit code: 1

is something with the environment causing the problem?
