Updating this related thread here to avoid a possible duplicate issue.

We are unable to pull hummus v1.0.104 on node:alpine (v12.4.0) and it seems to be missing files from server end.

[email protected] install /usr/src/app/node_modules/hummus
node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build $EXTRA_NODE_PRE_GYP_FLAGS

Since the author recently announced that he will not maintain this repo any further we must sadly state that hummus is dead for anyone who must use node 12.x :-(

We use hummusJS with nodejs 12 in production since months without any problem.

Not by downloading precompiled binaries but compiling from source?

We use version 1.0.107 and compile from source with the following binding.gyp file :

}

therefore we deploy the hummusjs code in /src
it works perfectly

Thanks @abenhamdine for sharing!

Unfortunately that's only half the battle. We'll have to get someone or some group to take over maintenance of hummus or we'll all have to eventually migrate to something else anyway…

@abenhamdine I tried it under Windows 10 x64 and binaries are available for download.

node-pre-gyp http GET https://hummus.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/hummus/v1.0.108/node-v72-win32-x64-unknown.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp http 200 https://hummus.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/hummus/v1.0.108/node-v72-win32-x64-unknown.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp info install unpacking binding/hummus.node
node-pre-gyp info tarball done parsing tarball

We also need it to work on Linux, so I will also conduct some tests there
