Missing prebuilds/node when using node v23
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'.

Is there any update on this?
None. If you're a paying customer hitting this issue, please ensure you reach out via the official support channels.
Any help from the community investigating, debugging and fixing this would be highly appreaciated.
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.
