node-sqlite3 failing on IOJS

[c0debreaker]

Today I tried using IOJS. I spoke to few folks at #iojs today in irc. Someone told me to inform you that NaN(https://github.com/rvagg/nan) 1.6 supports iojs now.

I got the error below after executing it:

module.js:324
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module '/Users/user01/chartservice/node_modules/sqlite3/lib/binding/node-v42-darwin-x64/node_sqlite3.node'

Got this issue as well, its downloading the wrong binding binary or looking in the wrong place for it.

We'll get this working soon. At least these things need to be done:

• Upgrade to latest nan 1.5.x, fix any compiler errors against io.js 1.0.1
• Troubleshoot node-webkit build failures /cc @Mithgol (node-webkit compile error #387)
• Package binaries, new tag of node-sqlite3
• Binaries will not be installable with iojs until certificate not trusted errors with amazon cert chains nodejs/node#402 is fixed because modules like node-sqlite3 that use node-pre-gyp to package binaries require https access to AWS S3 (refs Packages that currently do not work with io.js [List] nodejs/node#456 and io.js support mapbox/node-pre-gyp#135).

Thanks a lot @springmeyer ! :)

Node-webkit has been renamed to nw.js and its newest versions are based on io.js as well.

The more the merrier, but Windows XP is no longer supported because of nodejs/node#374.

[springmeyer]

@Mithgol - thanks for the details. Sounds like that will need some time to resolve itself. I propose I make a new tag (v3.0.4) of node-sqlite3 today that supports node v0.10.x, v0.11.14, and iojs v1.0.2 and worry about webkit/nw.js support in the coming weeks?

[Mithgol]

Okay, though I have a couple of thoughts about it:

• Currently npm says that version 3.0.4 is already published (2 months ago), so the tag has a reason to be somewhat greater (to indicate that it contains today's changes).
• Yet another (3.0.5?…) intermediate version of the package (without today's changes) might also be somewhat helpful for people that needed just the ForceSet() changes from Target new v8 from chromium 38 #369 (these changes might fix Failed to build on XP #382 and similar issues) but without iojs-related stuff.

What's the work around? Where's the url to the node v0.11 bins so I can just copy them into the node_modules directory myself?

[sdepold]

You will have to change the engines selector in the package.json as well. It won't allow you to run sqlite3 on 1.0.x otherwise.

[roblabla]

Is there a point in having this engine restriction ? Seems more trouble than it's worth, and if nodejs ever comes out of 1.0 in an incompatible way to iojs, it will not even protect anything...

After removing the engine restriction entirely, it seems the master branch of node-sqlite3 happily compiles for iojs

npm i --force mapbox/node-sqlite3

[hmalphettes]

[email protected] installs and works out of the box with iojs-1.2.0
This issue can be closed.

[Mithgol]

Okay, closed.

not working with iojs-2.0.0

@EgoAleSum Please create an issue for that. This issue was about supporting io.js 1.X series; 2.X sports an updated V8 engine and breaks binary support, thus needs a new nan (1.8.4) and / or a variety of modifications throughout the codebase.
