I am getting the same issue with Ubuntu 20.04, node 10.19

[minggangw]

For linux, make sure you have source <path/to/ros2>/install/local_setup.bash For Windows, call <path\to\ros2>\install\local_setup.bat

[CLansdaleBEC]

Confirming I sourced the ROS2 setup file before running npm install. As a workaround I dropped a working package-lock.json in from and old build I had and was able to build with that successfully.

[CLansdaleBEC]

I tried a fresh install on a VM running dashing on Ubuntu 18.04 and get the same issue. Considering the package-lock json seems to fix things could the current version be incompatible with rclnodejs?

[minggangw]

Hmm, I checked the usage of package-lock-json and found:

It describes the exact tree that was generated, such that subsequent installs are able to generate identical trees, regardless of intermediate dependency updates.

So I think the file itself will not affect the process of compiling of C++ code, maybe something else leads to the failure.

Hey @minggangw, I got this error when installing web bridge in docker, I have sourced ROS2 before installation.

[minggangw]

The rclnodejs v0.14.1 supports the latest ROS2 Foxy, but not for Eloquent Elusor because these two ROS2 releases are incompatible.

From the error message, I suppose you are not running Foxy. The solution is that you could pin a specific rclnodejs version in package.json, e.g.

"rclnodejs": "0.14.0",

If you want to run on another version of ROS2, please check out this compatibility table to select the right version explicitly, thanks!

[roddc]

Thanks!

[minggangw]

I think we could close it now, please feel free to reopen if you still have problems, thanks!
