Node-serialport: [Electron 8.0.0] electron-v76 support

Created on 12 Feb 2020  ·  14Comments  ·  Source: serialport/node-serialport

Summary of Problem

Hi. I'm trying to build an electron app but during the install prebuilt binary process I'm getting messages like (for each OS)

prebuild-install http 404 https://github.com/serialport/node-serialport/releases/download/@serialport/[email protected]/bindings-v8.0.7-electron-v76-linux-x64.tar.gz

prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=8.0.0 runtime=electron arch=x64 libc= platform=linux)

which causes an error

../node_modules/app-builder-lib/node_modules/app-builder-bin/mac/app-builder exited with code ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE

Quick check shows that there's just no release for Electron 8.0.0 as the highest is v75 but new Electron requires v76: https://github.com/serialport/node-serialport/releases

When will you add a support for Electron 8.0.0? It's a stable version now.

Versions, Operating System and Hardware

  • SerialPort 8.0.7
  • electron 8.0.0
  • electron-builder 22.3.2
  • electron-builder-http 19.27.5
  • Node.js v12.9.1
  • All platforms

As for the original issue I've taken @panuhorsmalahti's patch, upgraded nan and our prebuild-install and tweaked our build environment to build on node 12. The result?

We now have prebuilds for electron ABI v76! Use serialport@9 to get them.

I set it back from version 8 to 7.
I am using it now.

@ghost602 try electron-rebuild package. I'm using electron 8.2.0 and It`is working.
There is hook in package.json.

 "scripts": {
    "install": "electron-rebuild -f -w serialport",
  },

I checked and I still don't believe - it really works 🎉 Rebuilding with node-gyp, electron-rebuild any many other solutions just didn't worked till now. Thanks @qdimka for response! 😄

The weird part is that there's the same issue as mentioned in the first post but electron is building correctly.

Versions I'm using:

"devDependencies": {
    "electron": "^8.2.2",
    "electron-builder": "^22.4.1",
    "electron-rebuild": "^1.10.1",
},
"engines": {
    "node": "12.9.1",
    "npm": "6.10.2"
  }

Meh... it works only for mac. Linux and windows are having the same issue as mentioned in first post.

Yeah, I also get this issue (trying to build for Windows on Docker).

I feel like this build information should make its way into our docs https://github.com/serialport/website/blob/master/docs/guide-installation.md#electron but I don't understand exactly what's going on. Can any of you take a crack at it?

Sorry to bump this up, not sure it is allowed or if I should create a new issue but the same problem appears with Electron v9 ABI v80.

I think you should double check your internet connexion/proxies because the bindings for v9.0 ABI v76 is available and the link mentionned in the output you provided is working (https://github.com/serialport/node-serialport/releases/download/@serialport/[email protected]/bindings-v9.0.0-electron-v76-win32-ia32.tar.gz). You had a timeout error (connect ETIMEDOUT 192.30.253.112:443), so I assume it's rather some kind of connectivity issue on your side.
