grpc causing npm install failure on Linux #780

apaatsio · 2018-05-07T15:08:06Z

Describe your environment

Operating System version: Manjaro Linux
Firebase SDK version: 4.13.1
Node: 10.0.0
NPM: 5.6.0

Describe the problem

npm install firebase fails when it's trying to install grpc.

I understand that this is probably a grpc problem. firebase has dependency on [email protected] which fails to install even when I try to install it separately with npm install [email protected].

However, the most recent version ([email protected]) installs without problems. So, if firebase updated the dependency from [email protected] to [email protected] I think it would solve this problem.

firebase-js-sdk/packages/firestore/package.json

Line 30 in a413ec2

"grpc": "1.10.1",

Hmmm this issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

google-oss-bot · 2018-05-07T15:08:07Z

Hey there! I couldn't figure out what this issue is about, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

apaatsio · 2018-05-07T18:01:39Z

If someone else is having the same problem, the quick fix is to revert back to node 9 from node 10.

mmermerkaya · 2018-05-07T19:35:38Z

Another quick fix is to use Yarn to install. I tried this on Manjaro + Node 10 with both NPM 6.0.0 and Yarn 1.6.0, and it only fails with NPM.

rsgowman · 2018-05-11T16:31:10Z

There's (at least) two issues here:

There isn't a binary build of grpc 1.10.1 for npm ABI 64. Reverting to node 9.x (as mentioned above) should address that, as it uses the previous ABI.
The source build (which triggers when the binary build can't be found) seems to be failing. I (mostly) can't reproduce this locally, but did notice this: Build error when run from npm script nodejs/node-gyp#1217. tl;dr: check your npm config for scripts-prepend-node-path=false. (npm config list). If I set that locally, my build also fails in an identical manner. Maybe that's happening for your build too?

Hi, I had exactly the same issue in my vsts ci/cd. I was always using a windows hosted agent for my build and yesterday I noticed that my deployment failed with exactly the same error. From the log I saw that this agent uses Node version 10 which is not compatible with grpc 1.10.1. What worked for me at least for now was to use a linux agent which is still in Node version 8.x.

franjorub · 2018-07-08T19:46:51Z

Using version 9.11 of node I was able to install grpc without problems with firebase

JustinPlute · 2019-09-02T20:15:03Z

Why is this issue closed? Reverting back to an older version of Node.js is a work-a-round, not a fix.

rsgowman · 2019-09-03T15:37:54Z

I've long since lost whatever context I once had on this issue. But reading back I think:

The original problem was in grpc 1.10.x.
The problem disappeared in 1.11.x.
Firebase was updated to use 1.11.x.

So I don't think this should be an issue anymore. However, if you're still seeing it, please open a new issue and refer back to this one.
