Node-restify: Restify not working with nodejs v4.0.0 in mac os x

[joaosousafranco]

Hello,

i was trying my application that is using restify with nodejs v4.0.0, and it is not working. Once the require to restify is made the process just dies without giving any exception or error.

Thank you,
Joao Franco

@mrshogun can you provide an example script that exhibits the problem? Anything we can go off of to help assist you?

I am also experiencing this, restify will not install. Looks to be an issue with DTrace 0.5:
OS X 10.10.5
Node v4.0.0

Installing restify

$ npm install restify --save
> [email protected] install     
/Users/.../node_modules/restify/node_modules/dtrace-provider
> node scripts/install.js

---------------
Building dtrace-provider failed with exit code 1 and signal 0
re-run install with environment variable V set to see the build output
---------------
...

Basic script

/* index.js */
var restify = require('restify')
var server = restify.createServer()
server.get('/hello_wold', (request, response, next) => {
  response.send('Hello World')
  next() 
}) 
server.listen(8080)

Output

$ node index.js 
{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/Release/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/default/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/Debug/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

Dtrace 0.5 won't work with Node 4. Node 4 was just released today, and we haven't had a chance to validate what is necessary to get it working with Restify.

[thomashilzendegen]

dtrace 0.6 has node v4 support, maybe updating is enough?

[thomashilzendegen]

@mrshogun just run in the node_modules/restify directory the following to test if 0.6 is a possible fix:

npm i [email protected]

@thomashilzendegen It is indeed a fix.

[joaosousafranco]

Ill try that asap, in the mean time do you have an ETA for the fix in restify? Im using the latest version and i dont have any problem with updating, so once you will release a fix ill update on my side.

Thank you

4.0.1 is out, upgrade and let us know if that fixes your issue.

[pete-a]

4.0.1 now installs successfully with Node 4.0.0 for me :+1:

[lvegerano]

This issue still happening. I'm using restify v4.0.3 using either node 0.10.40 or 4.2.2.

{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/Release/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/default/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/Debug/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

[cprwhite]

I'm have this problem too using testify v4.0.3 and node 4.2.3

{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/Release/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/default/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
{ [Error: Cannot find module './build/Debug/DTraceProviderBindings'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

[willkramer]

@cprwhite @lvegerano have you tried uninstalling the restify module and re-installing it?

I had the same error this morning after upgrading to node v4.2.3 on my Mac and running a npm update doesn't seem to fix the issue.

The commands I ran were:

npm uninstall restify
npm install restify

[lvegerano]

@willkramer I did not spend much time on it. I was on a mission to create a microservice so I just switched to using HapiJS. Also there is memory leak noted in the issues with some of the middleware that also pushed me away.

[micahr]

@lvegerano - Do you mind pointing me towards the issues with memory leaks?

It makes sense that after upgrading Node you'd have to uninstall and reinstall a module with a dependency on a native module (Bunyan / dtrace-provider) as it needs to be recompiled with the newer version of node-gyp.

[lvegerano]

@micahr I did not find this leak. I was making reference to https://github.com/restify/node-restify/issues/431 While it may not be an issue at the moment, the inconclusiveness of the issue deterred me from using restify.

[DonutEspresso]

The error is from bunyan, and is non-fatal. You may want to check out this thread for some of the proposed solutions.

[markmcdermid]

I came across this issue too but a simple reinstall fixed it, cheers.

[u84six]

This seems to be happening again with Restify 6.3.2 and Node 9.0.0. Is this because you haven't had a chance to update?

[retrohacker]

Hey @u84six,

Thanks for letting us know. Is this specifically DTrace?

[u84six]

Yes, specifically DTrace. I confirmed it was restify installation by uninstalling, deleting node_modules dir and then running npm install. No problem without restify.

[retrohacker]

DTrace uses native bindings, it must not be updated for Node v9. Not sure what work goes into that. Marking this as help wanted for now.

Worst case scenario we could pull out dtrace, I'm not sure how much it is used (queue incoming flood of use cases)
