"compiled against a different Node.js version using" only when using node in launch.json

Question

I have test.js:

const { createCanvas, loadImage } = require('canvas');

console.log('hi');

launch.json

...
    {
      "name": "test script",

      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeExecutable": "node",
      "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/test.js",
      "console": "integratedTerminal"
    },
...

When I run test script in the VSCode debugger I get

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1144
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

Error: The module '/Users/me/Documents/gift_registry_business_idea/backend/node_modules/canvas/build/Release/canvas.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 93. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

}

However, test.js works fine if I run node test.js in the terminal or if I run this in launch.json, changing node to nodemon

...
    {
      "name": "test script",

      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeExecutable": "nodemon",
      "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/test.js",
      "console": "integratedTerminal"
    },
...

Deleting node_modules and runing npm rebuild or npm install didn't work.

What's launch.json used by? Because that's not a standard Node/NPM thing. — Mike 'Pomax' Kamermans

from github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/issues/1942 possibly caused by installing node-canvas with a different version of nodeJS than you try to run node-canvas with. from github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/issues/1879 try deleting node-canvas's folder in node_modules and then running npm install again. Does that answer your question / solve your problem? (found those by googling ""canvas/build/Release/canvas.node" "was compiled against a different Node.js version using"") — starball

@user canvas was fine, I think it was the node version used by launch.json. It didn't match the nvm version. adding "runtimeVersion": "16.17.1" worked — Dashiell Rose Bark-Huss

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/nodejs-debugging#_multi-version-support

Multi version support If you are using 'nvm' (or 'nvm-windows') to manage your Node.js versions, >it is possible to specify a runtimeVersion attribute in a launch >configuration for selecting a specific version of Node.js:
{
 "type": "node",
 "request": "launch",
 "name": "Launch test",
 "runtimeVersion": "14",
 "program": "${workspaceFolder}/test.js"
}

I added the `runtimeVersion to match my environment, and it worked. But I'd like to know if there's a way to set the node version without having to set it individually on each launch configuration.
