Unable to install node >= 18.12.0 versions #344

jtlimo · 2023-03-16T15:22:04Z

I'm using a MacOS M1 and trying to install the 18.12.0 version, but instead I receive an error message that suggests to use the flag --compile; I tried using the flag, but the error continues.

Also, reading some issues I tried some commands, like:

and after that ran the installation unsuccessfully.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

We're seeing the same thing.

augustobmoura · 2023-03-16T18:41:05Z

Can you guys check if it is related to nodenv/node-build#777?

I'm unable to test on an M1 MacOS. If someone is able to do some debugging please share on this post

shadowspawn · 2023-03-16T21:15:33Z

There was a problem with intermittent 404s affecting downloads from nodejs, which is hopefully largely resolved:

augustobmoura · 2023-03-16T21:35:18Z

Thanks for the information, @shadowspawn! That could be it

But I find it strange that only Apple Silicon versions are being affected, and running asdf on Rosetta solves the issue. I will let the issue open while we don't confirm that the problem is purely on NodeJS servers.

@jtlimo @anthonator please try downloading that version later after NodeJS update its status as fixed, and confirm if that was the problem

anthonator · 2023-03-17T16:14:07Z

Seems to be working for me.

jtlimo · 2023-03-17T17:47:06Z

I tried here and the problem continue

kalupa · 2023-03-17T20:48:47Z

Had trouble with this yesterday due to the 404s. appears to have resolved itself now. no need to use --compile anymore, i think

jtlimo · 2023-03-20T18:05:03Z

I tried again, and nothing changed. 😢

genu · 2023-03-21T15:53:21Z

I'm seeing this as well, not sure if its related exactly, but I run these commands:

> asdf latest nodejs
> 19.8.1

> asdf install nodejs 19.18.1
> Trying to update node-build... ok
> node-build: definition not found: 19.18.1

johnbendi · 2023-04-14T00:39:42Z

What's going on?

> asdf install nodejs 19.18.1
> Trying to update node-build... ok

There is a typo on your installation command. The latest version is 19.8.1, but you ran the command trying to install 19.18.1. You can avoid re-typing the version number by running the command asdf install nodejs latest.

Again, I cannot reproduce the issue on Linux. If someone else is having this problem on macOS, I would ask to debug it if possible or to provide more information on what could be happening.

@jtlimo, is the issue still happening? Did you try updating both asdf-code and asdf-nodejs? Try running this command to update all your plugins otherwise:

asdf update
asdf plugin update --all

johnbendi · 2023-04-14T00:52:37Z

My case was also related to #299 which was occuring after a recent update and somehow also giving me the node-build: definition not found: message. Clearing the cache as suggested from there solved it for me.

owpac · 2023-04-14T10:45:28Z

Hello, in the same way, I can't install Nodejs v19.9.0. The latest version found by asdf is v19.8.1 🫠

I tried to erase my cache with rm -rf $ASDF_DIR/tmp/nodejs but it didn't change anything. I also tried to update asdf & asdf plugin-update --all but nothing either.

What's going on?

Hi, the issue is still happening. I'll try these commands and comeback here;

Tried the commands, and the issue is still happening 😢

Also, how to debug to help with more informations?

mrienstra · 2023-04-17T18:06:45Z

@owpac, see #345

I do have aria2c, manually downloading the above url's via aria2c and curl both works fine.

OvermindDL1 · 2023-05-05T14:41:41Z

Removing aria2c from the PATH fixes it for some reason, so try that for anyone else having this issue.

mrienstra · 2023-05-05T16:37:03Z

@OvermindDL1, sounds like a new issue worth reporting! https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs/issues/new/choose

augustobmoura · 2023-05-20T17:34:45Z

@jtlimo can you check if removing aria2c from path solves the issue? It looks like the project is not being maintained for some time and it does have some unsolved issues on MacOS and DNS. I will try pushing a PR to node-build so it can stop using it as the default downloader

lxe · 2023-05-30T04:05:41Z

Same issue here on Windows 11 Ubuntu WSL:

$ asdf install nodejs lts

node-build: definition not found: 18

20.2.0 installs fine.

M77ix · 2023-05-30T17:14:51Z

I'm also having the issue where i cant download Nodejs, I get the error message: error: failed to download node v18.16.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz BUILD FAILED (OS X 13.3.1 using node-build 4.9.115-3-gf32092ec).

I'm on Mac with an Intel chip

M77ix · 2023-05-31T15:44:42Z

Update: I managed to fix the issue, for some reason anaconda was messing up the install and uninstalling it fixed the problem !

zackerydev · 2023-08-24T14:39:07Z

I was having this issue - thought it might be aria2c but wasn't able to find that installed anywhere.

If you land here it could be because of IPv6, the network I was on didn't support it so I had to do:

 NODE_BUILD_CURL_OPTS=--ipv4 asdf install nodejs 20.5.0

What happens if you try downloading the file manually from a browser?
For the URL: https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.0.0/node-v16.0.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

Try also downloading from curl directly from your terminal:

curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.0.0/node-v16.0.0-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

augustobmoura · 2023-08-24T15:09:19Z

Also, @jtlimo, are you using any kind of VPN? Even Apple's Private Relay could interfere
Can you also try running the same command from on a different network? Maybe from mobile data, or try to use a different VPN if you have access to one

jdx · 2023-08-24T15:11:01Z

@augustobmoura see nodejs/nodejs.org#5666. nodejs.org is having issues that I'm guessing may be related to this: nodejs/build#3469

@augustobmoura see nodejs/nodejs.org#5666. nodejs.org is having issues that I'm guessing may be related to this: nodejs/build#3469

Yeah, but the error messages look different, @jtlimo can't even hit the server because of TLS problems. And also, I'm not having problems downloading the 16 version

It's succesfull when run the curl command

That's weird, I'm not sure why would it fail on node-build and not on the regular command line. Let me check which other options node-build is adding to the command. Also, check if there are no new updates to curl, bash or packages in general. With brew, just run brew update && brew upgrade

jdx · 2023-08-24T15:33:55Z

The issues are intermittent and don't always report the same issue. I've been having connection issues with rtx and github actions connecting to nodejs.org all week. This is not asdf or node-build related. Sometimes it's 404, sometimes 500, and sometimes it's just really slow.

augustobmoura · 2023-08-24T18:32:28Z

Ok, lets wait for it to stabilize again, and check if the --ipv4 does anything

Matozinho · 2023-09-11T16:27:31Z

Hi guys!

I'm facing the same issue here. I was getting the same output of @jtlimo, but installing the current LTS version (18.17.1)

asdf info:

Linux <my-host> 6.2.0-32-generic #32~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Aug 18 10:40:13 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

SHELL:
zsh 5.8.1 (x86_64-ubuntu-linux-gnu)

ASDF VERSION:
v0.13.0-43ca61a

ASDF INSTALLED PLUGINS:
nodejs                       https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs.git master 9275f49

FIX:

It seems the problem is related to aria2c, so I removed it from the HTTP clients list in ~/.asdf/plugins/nodejs/.node-build/bin/node-build

It just occurs with the LTS version.

alissonpelizaro · 2023-09-28T17:30:39Z

I'm seeing this as well, not sure if its related exactly, but I run these commands:
> asdf latest nodejs
> 19.8.1

> asdf install nodejs 19.18.1
> Trying to update node-build... ok
> node-build: definition not found: 19.18.1

This works fine here.

shane-lamb · 2023-11-07T06:55:05Z

The solution from @Matozinho worked for me, but I found that the underlying issue was that aria2c was broken, as per this issue. I fixed that by using the solution presented in the linked issue - by updating the gettext library using homebrew (brew upgrade gettext). If that works for you then you don't need to edit the source code anymore, which is preferable.

andycarlberg · 2023-11-14T22:44:55Z

Since this is still a problem in aria2 as @shane-lamb noted, I thought it might be helpful to know there's an easier way to implement the fix from @Matozinho.

You can use a node-build setting variable to set the NODE_BUILD_HTTP_CLIENT before running your command.

hamman3223 · 2023-11-28T22:21:15Z

I just reinstalled aria2c with brew and it worked for me ☺️. I discovered an error related to aria2c, when I did asdf install nodejs 18.15.0. The developers should change the log indicating that an error occurred during downloading, because it's false positive

When I raised output verbosity with ASDF_NODEJS_VERBOSE_INSTALL=true I got this error:
