Cannot install/use @matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs from npm

[turt2live]

At runtime:

Cannot find module '@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs-win32-x64-msvc' from 'node_modules/@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs/index.js'

The readme for the bindings claims that it'll download the appropriate bindings, but it didn't, and we didn't publish the package referenced in the error (autogenerated by napi-rs), so they aren't retrievable.

to prove it's not a windows-only problem:

Cannot find module '@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs-linux-x64-gnu' from 'node_modules/@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs/index.js'

@turt2live did it install any library during installation?

[turt2live]

sure didn't.

It looks like it's falling victim to npm/cli#3647 or yarnpkg/yarn#5476 (where output isn't reported - I can't tell if it's actually not running).

Manually opening the installed dependency (./node_modules/@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs) and running npm install yields this:

the download URL is missing the v on matrix-sdk-crypto-nodejs-v0.1.0-beta.0

[gnunicorn]

yep. the tag has a v-prefix but the URLs don't. Will publish a beta.1 tomorrow with a fix.
