Still tries to build OpenCV even when already installed by chocolately on Windows

[liftyourgame]

Have installed OpenCV on Windows by Chocolately in PowerShell:

choco install OpenCV -y -version 4.1.0

Set environment variable system wide: OPENCV4NODEJS_DISABLE_AUTOBUILD=1

Install @u4/opencv4nodejs

npm install @u4/opencv4nodejs

Get this in the logs: and can't see node-gyp rebuild is running

That's not the first time I saw this kind of error, do you have an anti-virus running on your system that may cause errors during the cleaning step? Try to disable the antivirus live protect and check if you have the same issue.

[liftyourgame]

Thanks. Disabled Malwarebytes but still get the error. I don't think deleting is the problem is it? Why is it trying to build OpenCV when the OPENCV4NODEJS_DISABLE_AUTOBUILD flag is set to 1?

[studentutu]

same here, fixed it by using pnpm - somehow default npm tries to build lib even when all conditions to disable autobuild are met.

[liftyourgame]

Did:

choco install pnpm
pnpm install

Still get the same result.

[studentutu]

try to clean all npm caches and such, and also remove ./node-modules - and strictly use pnpm - it will use symlinked folders in your ./node-module, this is probably why it works with pnpm Also install globally nody-gyp or something like this ( see the package for opencv4nodejs), as it is one of the requirements for build project

[liftyourgame]

So did:

npm cache clean --force
del node_modules
pnpm install -g node-gyp

pnpm install

Get the same result

[liftyourgame]

Ran:

Remove-Item .\node_modules\

$env:OPENCV4NODEJS_DISABLE_AUTOBUILD=1
$env:OPENCV_INCLUDE_DIR='C:\\tools\\opencv\\build\\include'
$env:OPENCV_LIB_DIR='C:\tools\opencv\build\x64\vc15\lib'
$env:OPENCV_BIN_DIR='C:\tools\opencv\build\x64\vc15\bin'

pnpm i

Still get:

node_modules/.pnpm/@u4+opencv4nodejs@7.1.0_typescript@5.5.3/node_modules/@u4/opencv4nodejs: Running install script, failed in 1m 41.1s
.../node_modules/@u4/opencv4nodejs install$ node-gyp rebuild

Why is node-gyp rebuild running?

Seems to be starting around line 319 of compileLib.js

Same here since version 7.0.0. I have a custom docker image with prebuild opencv but npm ci still tries to build everytime and gyp fails every time.
