Node v6 and v7 on Travis #189

Closed tugrul closed 5 years ago

tugrul commented 5 years ago

I wanted to build & test my addon for node version 6 and 7 on travis.

You can see build status and output logs from this link: https://travis-ci.org/tugrul/cryptian

I tried to get your library on before_install to travis test image. But I'm not able to success.

Then I tried install dependencies by classical way.

First I encountered following error.

MSBUILD : error MSB4132: The tools version "2.0" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "4.0".

I was able to solve this issue by helps of MSBuild staff. https://github.com/microsoft/msbuild/issues/4415

Then i encountered second issue. 

error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe". 
To fix this, 
1) install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK, 
2) install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 
3) add the location of the component to the system path if it is installed elsewhere.

But MSBuild staff couldn't help me and he refers to node community.

Also I wrote to travis-ci community but there is no response by staff.

What I should install to solve second issue by your experience?. I tried many build tools package from Chocolatey but I couldn't succeed.

It should chocolatey package or silent installer package. Because I don't have direct access to travis image. I'm able to only give directives by config file.

I took a look right now and it doesn't seem like you're using windows-build-tools at all. What's the thing you're trying to build?

tugrul commented 5 years ago

@felixrieseberg yes this build step not using windows-build-tools.

I tried to use before and I couldn't success. You can see log of that build step here. https://travis-ci.org/tugrul/cryptian/jobs/536786024

In this log, it appears that Microsoft's installer hangs with Updating installer. That doesn't seem like a bug with this tool but rather Visual Studio. I suggest you report it there!

@felixrieseberg I know this is not bug. I just wanted to get your advise by experience. Should I install visual studio to get dependencies? Is not there a standalone package to get msbuild tool?
