在 node.js 应用程序中启动时无法找到绑定文件

Question

I have an old node.js app that I'm resurrecting that I wrote a couple years ago. I'm updating the packages and dependencies inside it, but I've run into a major problem that prevents the program from running.

Each time I try to initiate the application while inside the myApplication folder, using either node app.js or nodemon , I get the following error 22 times:

{ Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried:

Some background information:

    ProductVersion: 10.14.3
    BuildVersion:   18D109
node -v
    v11.13.0
npm -v
    6.7.0

I have tried a number of things to get it to work, and have gone through a variety of other stack overflow threads. Initially I tried to use:

npm update
npm install

This updated all the packages to their current form, but did not eliminate the error. I made sure that xcode-select was installed and updated. Still, same error.

I moved on to remove the entire node_modules folder and rebuilt it using this code:

npm install node-gyp -g
npm cache clean -f
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

I get the following install runtime output telling me that there are issues with bson-ext and node bin/postinstall

I still get the same failure. As a note, I tried to use both a global and local installation for node-gyp .

I specifically called out the offending package, bson-ext and used npm to reinstall it

npm install bson-ext

I also went down the node-gyp and python rabbit hole

I also took an older version of the missing file, bson.node , and pasted into the /Users/myUser/folder/myApplication/node_modules/bson-ext/build/ directory. It gave a notice that it was built using an old node version and as a result the application won't run.

The package.json file includes the appropriate dependencies:

{
  "name": "myApplication",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node ./bin/www"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "angular-daterangepicker": "^0.2.3-alpha1",
    "angular-nvd3": "^1.0.9",
    "bindings": "^1.5.0",
    "body-parser": "^1.18.3",
    "bootstrap-daterangepicker": "^2.1.30",
    "bson": "^4.0.2",
    "bson-ext": "^1.0.5",
    "cookie-parser": "^1.4.4",
    "debug": "^3.2.6",
    "express": "^4.16.4",
    "grunt": "^1.0.4",
    "jquery": "^3.3.1",
    "moment": "^2.24.0",
    "mongodb-extended-json": "^1.10.1",
    "mongoose": "^5.4.20",
    "morgan": "^1.9.1",

    "nodemon": "^1.18.10",
    "npm": "^6.9.0",
    "pug": "^2.0.3",
    "selectize": "^0.12.6",
    "serve-favicon": "^2.5.0"
  }
}

How can I fix the issue that I'm having so that this program will run? Is there some way that I'm missing for bson.node to be created??

Answer 1

The problem was with bson-ext . My application was searching for version 1.0.5 , while version 2.0.1 was the newest version. This fixed the problem.

Version 1.0.5 of bson-ext had an internal dependency on nan@2.4.0 , which was not functioning with node@v11 .
