npm install fails with node v12

[ReinoutStevens]

Describe the bug
npm i fails with node v12

You get a large list of errors like:
../src/fibers.cc:68:2: error: ‘Handle’ does not name a type

The suggested solution is to install g++ build essentials, which were already present.

To Reproduce

• remove node_modules ( or get a fresh copy of this repo )
• use node v12 ( tested with v12.17.0 and v12.18.4 )
• npm i

Expected behavior
Expect everything to get installed :)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 2020.04

Additional context
Using Node v10 works fine, and after installing you can just switch to node v12 without any issue

Try deleting your package-lock and using 'npm ci'.

[ReinoutStevens]

I assume you mean deleting your node_modules, and doing npm ci, as deleting your package-lock is not appreciated by npm ci.

Same error persists in this case.

[GLStephen]

@ReinoutStevens yeah

1. rm ./package-lock.json
2. git checkout package-lock.json
3. npm ci

[ReinoutStevens]

Yeah thats what I did after npm ci complained that it requires a package-lock file :)
Fails both on master and 1.8.0

This is in a freshly cloned copy of the repo without any modifications

This should be fixed by #159
