could be a backspace? a lot of mixed text ends up with half characters that don't display frmo someone deleting one byte of a two-byte character

I can't use it in electron, same error. Have tried ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

Same problem with this ***/node_modules/nodejieba/build/Release/nodejieba.node file

[dcsan]

it's loading a binary file

Unexpected character '�' (1:0) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type. (Source code omitted for this binary file)

I've seen those type of characters before when encoding gets messed up eg utf8 / shiftJIS. but not sure for binary files

is this a win/unix thing with the 'BOM' issue?

Hey. I just ran into this issue while transpiling my server code.

Looks like it's failing because the library imports a .node file on line 1.

var nodejieba = require( __dirname + "/build/Release/nodejieba.node");

I fixed it by including the node-loader loader for .node files in my webpack.config.js file.

module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.node$/,
        use: 'node-loader',
      },
      // other loaders come after
  ]
}

This worked for me. Not sure if my use-case for this similar to yours but give this a try. 🙂

good find @abinavseelan can you send a PR 🗡

@dcsan That cannot be fixed in nodejieba's side. To use it should change the config of project's webpack. Though, it still can't be used in electron.
