Doesn't work with Electron · Issue #574 · nodegit/nodegit · GitHub

The installation instructions for Electron http://www.nodegit.org/guides/install/electron/ have us add to package.json:

  "engines": {
    "electron": "0.20.7"
  }

And run npm install, which in turn runs lifecycleScripts/install.js. However, that install script is still based off the old "atom-shell" and not Electron:

https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/blob/master/lifecycleScripts/install.js#L29
https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/blob/master/lifecycleScripts/install.js#L106-L107

.. so when you run npm install nodegit with the package.json above it will build against the current Node version, not Electron. Unsurprisingly, Electron blows if you try to require nodegit in it.

I've tried working around this by taking the instructions from Electron's docs (https://github.com/atom/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules.md) and patching lifecycleScripts/install.js accordingly, e.g.:

diff --git a/lifecycleScripts/install.js b/lifecycleScripts/install.js
index 65b8031..7550fe0 100644

BTW, same build error with version 0.25.3 instead of 0.26.0

Ha, try renaming it from electron to atom-shell in the package.json. Someone renamed that, but the underlying module that does the check doesn't look for electron I think. I'll have to verify in a minute, but try renaming it to atom-shell.

same error output as above. I also tried the previous version 0.25.3 (same error), as well as 0.25.0 and 0.24.0. interestingly those gave a 403 error for the --dist-url link:

but I've checked the urls and they exist (e.g. https://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist/v0.25.0/node-v0.25.0.tar.gz).

to sum up, the issues are:

install script expects the engine atom-shell instead of electron
even with atom-shell, it doesn't build with the latest versions (0.26.0, 0.25.3) because of a method mismatch, whereas for previous versions (0.25.0, 0.24.0) it can't download the tar archive for the headers (even though they apparently exist)

@maxkorp I've tried bumping nan to 1.8.4 (since the error seems to come from there) but that gave rise to other error messages.. any ideas?

@arturadib have you tried doing this on the rollback-libssh2 branch?

@johnhaley81 almost there! the module builds fine using that branch, but I get a module version mismatch error when I run electron:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/electron .
App threw an error when running [Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 43, got 44.]

Relevant part of package.json showing we're building against 0.26.0 and running against that same version:

  "engines": {
    "atom-shell": "0.26.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron-prebuilt": "^0.26.0"
  }

is it possible the downloaded headers are actually not in sync with electron-prebuilt?

Oh interesting... so try to start again from a clean slate. git clean -xdff and nuke ~/.atom-shell

Oh interesting... so try to start again from a clean slate. git clean -xdff and nuke ~/.atom-shell

no juice (nuked ~/.atom-shell-gyp since .atom-shell didn't exist):

$ ./node_modules/.bin/electron .
App threw an error when running [Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 43, got 44.]

Well that's unusual. nuking ~/.atom-shell-gyp is good, but I'd also see if theres a ~/.electron (or anything else to that effect, not including .atom) and nuke that if it's there? It seems likely that somehow the contents of the build for 25.3 got stored as 26, but I'm not sure how.

Weird stuff for sure. Nuked ~/.electron, ~/.electron-gyp (both existed), built with atom-shell set to 0.26.0, tried also 0.25.3, same problem (Module version mismatch. Expected 43, got 44).

Can one of you repro the issue? I just have a barebones Electron project with two files in it:

package.json:

{
  "name": "elec-app",
  "displayName": "My Electron app",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "",
  "main": "main.js",
  "author": "",
  "engines": {
    "atom-shell": "0.25.3"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "electron-prebuilt": "^0.25.3"
  }
}

main.js:

var NodeGit = require("nodegit");

NodeGit.Repository.open(pathToRepo).then(function(sucessfulResult) {
  console.log('>>>>>>>> Success!');
  console.log(sucessfulResult);
}).catch(function(reasonForFailure) {
  console.log('>>>>>>>> Failure!');
});

Then I run $ npm install, $ npm link <path_to_nodegit_with_rollback-libssh2_checked_out>, then $ ./node_modules/.bin/electron .

OHHHHHH So you're linking to nodegit. Aha!

So, nodegit determines what to build against (node version X, nwjs version Y, electron version Z etc) by looking up the tree to see if it's in a projects node_modules, until it finds the root project, then checks that projects engines. Not just where it's required from. So, it's building against node or iojs, not electron.

You'll have to actualy list the dependency in your package.json

{
  "name": "elec-app",
  "displayName": "My Electron app",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "",
  "main": "main.js",
  "author": "",
  "engines": {
    "atom-shell": "0.25.3"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "electron-prebuilt": "^0.25.3"
    "nodegit": "nodegit/nodegit#rollback-libssh2"
  }
}

Because with electron/nwjs the native modules have to build against different headers. We attempt to intelligently do that for you (in the case that we're inside another project with that engines property set appropriately), but we have no way to do that if we're in a not-descendent dir somewhere.

That intelligent build thing is going away asap (causes more confusion than it solves), and you'll have to use some other tool (same you would use to handle any other native modules) to rebuild. Linking should work, in that case.

Let me know if the updated package.json works, and I'll close this if it does.

BIN-GO! Many thanks Max. Looking forward to playing with nodegit now!

Cool, glad that worked.

Just for the sake of others looking at this. I ran around in circles trying to get nodegit working with electron on windows. It finally came down to a simple command.

Note: using electron 0.36.8, npm 3.6.0, node 5.7.0

cmd /C "set BUILD_ONLY=true && set ELECTRON_VERSION=0.36.8 && npm install nodegit"

where you'll change the electron version to match whatever you are using.

Note: I did not have to change my "engine" in package.json to atom-shell.

Run that from within your project directory just like you were installing any other package. If there's already a nodegit directory in your node_modules dir then you'll have to delete it in order for the above command to work. It will take awhile to start and once it does you'll see a wall of text as it begin compiling things.

There were pieces of the above command floating around but nothing was very clear.

Hope this helps someone!

Thank you @neutrinog!

I spent the better part of a weekend searching for a solution for a similar issue with nodegit on macOS. The following finally resolved the issue:

BUILD_ONLY=true ELECTRON_VERSION=1.4.10 npm install nodegit -D

Here are my setup details:

macOS 10.12
Node.js 6.5.0
npm 3.10.3
Python 2.7.10
nodegit 0.16.0
electron 1.4.10
