Support for node v 0.12?

[jrydval]

Thank you for the module! I use it as a part of my home automation.

Do you plan to update the module for node v 0.12?

The node-red supports this version but (probably) due to a dependency on an older noble it seems impossible to install node-red-contrib-bean:

$ npm install node-red-contrib-bean
\
> xpc-connection@0.1.3 install /Users/Jan/Development/Node.js/Node-RED-test/node_modules/node-red-contrib-bean/node_modules/ble-bean/node_modules/noble/node_modules/xpc-connection
> node-gyp rebuild

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/binding/src/XpcConnection.o

> noble@0.3.14 install /Users/Jan/Development/Node.js/Node-RED-test/node_modules/node-red-contrib-bean/node_modules/ble-bean/node_modules/noble
> node-gyp rebuild

@jrydval Hello there! I just tried installing the Bean node with Node v0.12.7 and Node-Red v0.11.1. I got some errors because noble failed to build. I installed the Linux dependencies for noble -

sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez-utils libbluetooth-dev

Then, I installed the Bean nodes:

mkdir -p ~/.node-red/node_modules npm install --prefix ~/.node-red node-red-contrib-bean

That fixed the issue, and the Bean nodes installed successfully. Let me know if this resolves your issue. You can see the dependencies for Noble here - https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble

Thanks aderhgawen for the hint! Actually, the module works fine on my Raspberry - I have only problem with my Mac environment... I tried to modify dependencies to make it woking but it's not working reliable - at least I can install and compile all components... My understanding is that node-red-contrib-bean requires an older noble but that version cannot be compiled using node v0.12 on Mac.

Kind Regards, Jan

Hey @jrydval, node-red-contrib-bean has been updated, and this version uses the latest version of noble. Let me know if this works! I don't have a mac to test if it works, but it is working fine on my Linux machine.
