Should build from sources if the OS has no binaries available about asdf-nodejs HOT 15 CLOSED

on an M1 macbook, this worked for me:

NODEJS_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS='--with-intl=full-icu --download=all' NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES="no" asdf install nodejs ref:v15.7.0

without the NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES="no", it failed silently (no output, but non-zero exit code). took maybe 10 minutes to build. afterwards, asdf doesn't realize that 15.7.0 is installed. i did:

cd ~/.asdf/installs/nodejs
ln -s ref-v15.7.0 15.7.0

so i can be compatible with existing .nvmrc/.node_version files

from asdf-nodejs.

use ref:v1.2.3 at the <version>.
asdf mentioned like this.

When you install with ref:, the asdf-nodejs will try getting source code from github.
but github does not provide checksum file, so you need to ignore it with NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES='no' option.

it said 'download from github'
I need to ignore checksum

so in my case. I had to compile nodejs with full-icu.
I used it like this (it worked on fish shell).

env NODEJS_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS='--with-intl=full-icu --download=all' env NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES='no' asdf install nodejs ref:v10.7.0

then you can get ref:v10.7.0 version.

I stumbled across this while trying to get nodejs to install on an m1.

The ref syntax doesn't seem to work any more. The README reference linked above is replaced and the new docs only show a latest syntax; so the below doesn't work

asdf install nodejs ref:14.15.4

I don't have a solution but hopefully this helps someone who might have spent time trying this.

@jaydorsey this should work:

asdf install nodejs ref:v14.15.4

Note the additional v in front of the version number. Specifically the following command worked for me:

env NODEJS_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS='--with-intl=full-icu --download=all' env NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES='no' asdf install nodejs ref:v15.8.0

@pawelgalazka A asdf reshim fixed that issue for me.

There is any intent to fix this issue?
It has over a year and a half and it is still affecting users...

yeah, i just jumped on the asdf train on OpenBSD. it works well for the other languages i use, but node is "broken". the error message is a bit misleading as well. "Binaries were not found. Full version must be specified, not just major version." it took a little reading to figure out the actual issue (the archive was not found for my OS). i'm willing to put in some time to work on it. @toriumi0118 has a good solution, but that takes some digging to find it here in the issues. perhaps those pieces could be rolled into the script for non-supported OS's and/or a better error message implemented.

thx @abradburne that helped 🙏

I'm open to contributions for this. I don't think it would be terribly hard to improve things so we try to compile from source if an archive is not found for your distro. I'm happy to review any PRs for this, but as someone who doesn't use Node.JS every day implementing this feature on my own is not a priority.

from asdf-nodejs.

Just to add a comment here, in my case it'd be really nice to have a "force compilation from source" flag, too. The thing is that i'm using NixOS, which is exotic in many ways, but in my case the precompiled NodeJS binary for Linux doesn't work. But the ref:... is probably an acceptable workaround.

FWIW i've posted a feature request to asdf-vm proper: asdf-vm/asdf#811

from asdf-nodejs.

env NODEJS_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS='--with-intl=full-icu --download=all' env NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES='no' asdf install nodejs ref:v15.8.0

This does seem to work (it's been ~45 minutes and still building!). This might be useful to spit out as an error/warning/info message when a binary can't be found. I noted it also has to be run exactly as you typed (with env which was something I didn't catch before)

If no one else grabs this, I might attempt a small PR. Displaying the above command when it can't find any binaries would have been useful enough.

@jaydorsey oh snap. You dropped this 👑

thx @igor47 this works for m1 with one exception, trick with ln -s ref-v15.7.0 15.7.0 does not seem to work for me. I created symlink but I still get an error:

$ pwd
/Users/myusername
$ echo ~
/Users/myusername
$ node -v
No preset version installed for command node
Please install a version by running one of the following:

asdf install nodejs 15.7.0

or add one of the following versions in your config file at /Users/myusername/.tool-versions
nodejs ref:v15.7.0

$ cat ~/.tool-versions 
nodejs 15.7.0

$ ls -l ~/.asdf/installs/nodejs
total 0

I installed from source (using this command above) node 14.8.1, but I cannot push asdf to use that.

Output: No version set for command node

any help?

An asdf reshim nodejs usually resolves this for me. Ruby and a couple of the other plugins work fine without the reshim afaict.

Edit: I just saw an earlier comment noting this as well, but wasn't sure if you saw the reshim. It's usually not necessary (ruby at least). If you tried it already my apologies. Ran into this last week w/ a new computer setup and it fixed it for me.
