The specified procedure could not be found

I get this error and I've seen a few old issues that have it but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

Error: The specified procedure could not be found.

I think this can happen for a few reasons: (a) if you have another module that depends on one of the same dependencies of canvas, like cairo, (b) if you have multiple versions of canvas loaded by the same node.js process, sometimes, (c) if canvas was built with a different version of the dependencies than it's attempting to run with. When Windows searches for a DLL, if it finds one already loaded in memory with the same name, that one will be used even if it's the wrong one.

Try deleting your node_modules folder and re-installing, or see if you have multiple modules being loaded that depend on cairo, or multiple version of canvas... If you're up for it, you can follow these instructions to enable logging of DLL loading: https://ofekshilon.com/2013/06/22/entry-point-not-found-and-other-dll-loading-problems/

Eh I think I am too stupid to figure out how to enable logging but I removed node modules and it still gives the same error
The only other thing depending on cairo is sharp

If you have Sharp also, then then this is a dupe of #930. There's some useful info in that ticket. I haven't gotten back to trying to figure out DLL redirection, but I think the Sharp maintainers made a possible fix. Feel free to post in #930...

Getting same error

I don't have Sharp, and I'm still getting the same error. Over 5 years, and still not fixed! WoW!
