Compatibility check and testing for Node.js 14 and 16

[ioBrokerChecker]

Dear Adapter developer,

Node.js 14 is now available for a year and Node.js 16 was release just some days ago and will become LTS by October 2021. We plan to update the ioBroker Node.js recommendation (currently 12.x) to 14.x later this year.

Please check your adapter with Node.js 14 especially, and ideally also directly with Node.js 16

Please add both versions to the adapter testing which is executed on commits.

If your adapter requires a certain minimum version of Node.js please set the 'engine' setting in package.json accordingly! Please also do this if the adapter is not able to work in certain Node.js versions, so that ioBroker can prevent users from installing te adapter if not compatible!

On questions please talk to us at https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.js-controller/issues/1138

Please close the issue after you checked it.

Thank you very much for your support!

Hi all,

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a relaxing holiday!

After updating the Node.js version from 12 to 14, my HeyTech adapter is not working anymore because the required Node.js version >=8 <13, actual version v14.18.2 does not match.

host.iobroker 2021-12-25 17:36:19.922 warn startInstance heytech.0: instance disabled because of Node.js version mismatch host.iobroker 2021-12-25 17:36:19.920 info "system.adapter.heytech.0" disabled host.iobroker 2021-12-25 17:36:19.904 warn startInstance heytech.0: required Node.js version >=8 <13, actual version v14.18.2 host.iobroker 2021-12-25 17:36:19.825 info "system.adapter.heytech.0" enabled

Thank you very much for your support! Cheers Guidau

Hi Merry Christmas Sorry. But i already tried it too and I have problems to get it to work. The problem is one dependency for telnet connections. I think I have to reimplement some parts of the plugin or try to fix the other library. So a lot of work....

[ansgarschulte]

@guidau Happy New Year. and FYI: I found the bug. Will publish an update soon.

Intermediate Fix: Install via Github Url: https://github.com/Jey-Cee/ioBroker.heytech

@ansgarschulte Happy New Year Many thanks for your support. I'm on holidays and I'll be back next weekend. Cheers Guido

@ansgarschulte Today I installed the update via beta repro, Github URL over ioBroker with no success. It seems to be that the installation procedure still looking for the node.js version >=8 <13. Do you habe any advice ?

@guidau I had the same problem... I managed it with a manuel "npm install https://github.com/Jey-Cee/ioBroker.heytech" via console. But I made now a PR for Stable Repo: https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.repositories/pull/1588

[Apollon77]

@ansgarschulte The better command in iobroker environment would be "iob install https://github.com/Jey-Cee/ioBroker.heytech" or even better to use admin and install from npm when version is already there.

IF someone uses the direct npm command to update an adapter you MUST also run "iob upload heytech" afterwards, else meta data are out of sync which can produce different issues

[guidau]

@ansgarschulte Do you know when the PR will be transferred to the stable repo ? Does this happen overnight ?

[ansgarschulte]

@guidau It has been merged now. Please try again. thx @Apollon77

[guidau]

@ansgarschulte Even with the new stable repo I unfortunately still get the same error message @Apollon77 I entered your suggested command "iob install https://github.com/Jey-Cee/ioBroker.heytech" on the shell, here the syntax seems to be wrong. Do I have to uninstall the installed adapter before and then reinstall again via the adapter command.

[ansgarschulte]

maybe that uninstall helps....

[guidau]

I also have the same problem when I want to uninstall the adapter....

rm -fR node_modules/iobroker.heytech/

[guidau]

There is a path node_modules but no subfolder iobroker.heytech, also in my life system, where I have not yet changed anything on the Heytech adapter !

Does it make sense to stop the discussion here on Github and maybe continue it on the ioBroker forum ? I'll try to look at the options of the Nodes.js commands this afternoon to see if I can force the uninstall here.

[guidau]

@ansgarschulte Thank you very much for your help. I managed it now, I temporarily set in the local NPM configuration file (.npmrc) the variable "engine-strict" (NPM version check) from true to false and then uninstalled the Heytech adapter. After that I was able to install the new 1.06 version without problems with the NPM version check enabled.

glad to here 😀
