I am trying to re-compile usb-detection on an Apple M1 Mac. Unfortunately, I do get a error

Anybody can think how to workaround this?

Can you think of any workaround? The error above is thrown, when running electron-builder install-app-deps. When running with --arch x64 flag it is working. The app will also work, when packaged as I am also packaging for x64. But in dev mode, it even won't start as the native dependency is built for the wrong architecture. Is there a way to start start in dev mode with x64?

[MadLittleMods]

I don't know @phhoef 🙇

FWIW I worked through a similar issue while setting up builds in CI for windows. After googling around I found that the specific error you mentioned relating to openssl_fips has something to do with Node 17 not including some configuration by default any more. Downgrading to 16 worked as a temporary fix:

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2534 https://github.com/marktext/marktext/issues/2812

[MadLittleMods]

@todbot what node-gyp PR fixed this?

It looks like node-gyp@^8.4.0 includes this potential fix https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/pull/2497 mentioned in https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2534#issuecomment-954978227

But I can see that @phhoef was reproducing with node-gyp@8.4.1 which came after.

---

In terms of workarounds I see,

I did not want to edit the binding.gyp file of a module that I was using. So I solved this problem by passing --openssl_fips='' into the script I want to use, like npm install --openssl_fips=''

-- https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2673#issuecomment-1196931379

Or modifying binding.gyp to make the same change.

@MadLittleMods @phhoef seem like this is not exclusively an M1 issue. I get the same error on intel core i5 running node16`

Do you guys find a fix for this? Im really stuck and not sure where to go from here.

[phhoef]

No, I didn't found a solution for that problem. My workaround is to remove usb-detection as dependency. I am using serialport for communication. I build a timer, that polls every few seconds for new devices through the serialport lib.

[lukedar]

Thanks for your reply. Do you mind sharing your code so there is an alternative on this thread.

[phhoef]

The code is part of a bigger application, but I am trying to post the relevant code snips. I am using redux as state container.

I've also a button where the user can manually trigger a refresh of the serial port. So, the redux part was already in place, I've just added the timer as workaround. redux action:

export const getSerialports = () => async (dispatch) =>
{
  const ports = await serialport.list();
  dispatch({
    type: SerialportTypeKeys.GET_SERIAL_PORTS,
    ports
  });
}

redux reducer: The reducer also preselects the first found serial port, if the user hasn't select one...

  switch (action.type) {
    case SerialportTypeKeys.GET_SERIAL_PORTS:
      if (action.ports.length > 0) {
        const selectedPort =
          state.selectedPort === null
            ? action.ports[0]
            : action.ports.find((p) => p.path === state.selectedPort.path);
        return { ...state, ports: action.ports, selectedPort };
      } else return { ...state, ports: action.ports, selectedPort: null };
}

In my index.tsx I am calling the timer:

const store = configureStore();
const boundActions = bindActionCreators({ getSerialports }, store.dispatch);

let lastPorts = [];
const checkSerialPorts = async () => {
  const ports = await SerialPort.list();
  if (!equalPorts(lastPorts, ports)) boundActions.getSerialports();

  lastPorts = ports;
  setTimeout(checkSerialPorts, 2000);
};
checkSerialPorts();

I need to make this binding to the store, as I want to call the redux action. You probably can reduce the complexity and only use the checkSerialPorts() method.

I also needed a proper equals check to determine if an update of the available ports is necessary. Otherwise I would flood my redux store with unnecessary changes ...

export const equalPorts = (a: IPort[], b: IPort[]) => {
  return (
    Array.isArray(a) &&
    Array.isArray(b) &&
    a.length === b.length &&
    a.every((val, index) => val.path === b[index].path)
  );
};

Hope this helps 🙂

Thank you very much

Unfortunately after trying the serialport module I get the following error.

dyld[50034]: missing symbol called phhoef did you experience this also?

[phhoef]

Sony, not as far as I remember. i typically try to use the pre-builds if possible. probably asking the serialport guys, is a good idea
