After fresh install on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04: "Unexpected fatal exception encountered, stack trace below" ... Cannot find module './build/Release/yencode.node'

[sanderjo]

I have problems installing nyuu on my Ubuntu 20.04. To rule out complex stuff, I just started a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 as a docker guest:

apt update
apt install npm -y
npm install -g nyuu
nyuu

leads to the below problems. Tips appreaciated.

root@3c739847f9ce:/# npm install -g nyuu
/usr/local/bin/nyuu -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nyuu/bin/nyuu.js

> yencode@1.1.1 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nyuu/node_modules/yencode
> node-gyp rebuild

OK, no errors so let's try:

root@3c739847f9ce:/# nyuu
[ERR ] Unexpected fatal exception encountered, stack trace below
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nyuu/bin/nyuu.js:1056
        throw err; // this seems to change the exit code a bit :/
        ^

Ouch.

The error suggests that the yencode module didn't build correctly.

I'm not sure if you've already done so, but if not, could you please try these two fixes, then do the npm install -g nyuu command?

[sanderjo]

Ah, same same as with parpar ... I wish I had thought of that. Sorry. As soon as I'm home again I'll try

According to #76, --unsafe-perm might be all that you need. If so, it can be documented (#78) to hopefully help others.

npm install -g nyuu --unsafe-perm works indeed (yencode is made and installed, I can call nyuu), in a fresh docker, as root (only user). I thought I had already tried that on my Ubuntu, but I'll retry once I'm home.

and ... update about my real machine: after some householding stuff (removing and reinstalling npm, hard-removing nyuu and yencode modules) ... nyuu works thanks to the npm install -g nyuu --unsafe-perm.

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for confirming!
