Unable to resolve some modules in Meteor 1.4.1.1

[oursonvie]

I installed oracledb using

meteor npm install --save meteor-node-stubs
meteor npm install oracledb --save

then when I try to load the module it turns me

Unable to resolve some modules:

  "../build/Release/oracledb" in
/Users/Tonny/Desktop/oracle/myapp/node_modules/oracledb/lib/oracledb.js
(web.browser)
  "../build/Debug/oracledb" in
/Users/Tonny/Desktop/oracle/myapp/node_modules/oracledb/lib/oracledb.js
(web.browser)

I can run example code using node

in using Node v6.5.0, instantclient-basic-macos.x64-12.1.0.2.0, instantclient-sdk-macos.x64-12.1.0.2.0, oracledb 1.11.0 on macOS Sierra 10.12

The same here. I am using Ubuntu, Meteor 1.4.1.2 and Node 4.6. I've tried to re-build the package but didn't work.

Any hints?

Have you reached out to the Meteor team? I'm wondering if there's a way to enable a more verbose error output. "Unable to resolve some modules" is not ver helpful...

[oursonvie]

sorry guys, I did the Oracle part in Python while waiting for a valid solution

The first place to look with these kind of issues is whether the invoking shell has LD_LIBRARY_PATH set correctly. If that's too complex to identify (sudo may clobber the environment, other shells may start with a clean env etc), and you only have the one Oracle client installed on the machine, look at using ldconfig on Linux.

Closing due to lack of progress. I would like to know what the status is. I wonder if its similar to #501 or #534

@oursonvie @AlberH I'm trying to reproduce the issue you ran into but I'm not having any luck. Here's an overview of what I did:

Installed Meteor:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

Installed the sample app and tested:

meteor create simple-todos
cd simple-todos                             
meteor npm install
meteor

That all worked fine. I stopped the application and then installed oracledb (meteor-node-stubs was already installed):

meteor npm install oracledb --save

Next, I modified server/main.js to import and use the driver (just a connection test):

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import oracledb from 'oracledb';

oracledb.getConnection({
        user: "hr",
        password: "topsecret",
        connectString: "test-db/orcl"
    }).then(conn => {
       console.log('got conenction', conn);
    }).catch(err => {
       console.log('got error', err);
    });

Meteor.startup(() => {
  // code to run on server at startup
}); 

When I started the application again it started fine and connection details were logged to the terminal.

I'm unable to reproduce the error you're seeing. Could either of you create a reproducible test case?

[oursonvie]

@dmcghan Thanks mate, I tried last week and I can confirm that the error is gone, at least for my case.

[cjbj]

@oursonvie thanks for the confirmation. And thanks @dmcghan for chasing it up.
