node-gyp rebuild / dtrace-provider 0.2.8 fail under node 0.12.7 (osx 10.10.4)

[aars]

I'm trying to set up node-workflow-example and/or node-workflow, which both seem to include a pretty old version of dtrace-provider (0.2.8).

node-gyp rebuild fails for this version, but I'm able to install dtrace-provider 0.5.0 without issues, and the latest bunyan without issues as well.

This might not be a node-workflow issue, but I'm lost. Any clues on how to resolve this? What is broken when this doesn't compile/build?

Can I safely update bunyan and dtrace-provider dependencies in package.json to latest? Or is there perhaps a preferred node version I should be using?

Errors are mostly these

Simply updating bunyan, restify and dtrace-provider to latest results in tests failing.

Everything works fine in node v0.10.36 :(

Reopened because I would still like to know what the preferred solution is. How should I go about using node-workflow in v0.12.7?

[dremekie]

Hi aars. Were you able to find a way to make this work in 0.12.7?

[aars]

@dremekie No, haven't put in any more effort since.

The problem is that the version of dtrace-provider being used doesn't work with the newer version of node.js because node.js does not have a stable ABI for binary addons. The solution would be to bump the dtrace-provider dependency to 0.6.0. We likely need to do similar bumps for restify and bunyan. @kusor can you take care of that?

[dandanknight]

Hi, is this project dead now then? It appears to be unusable with any versions of node past v0.10.x

[kusor]

I'll get it updated to newest version
