An error occurred: 'Cannot read property '1' of null

Hi,

I get this error while installation.

[garronej]

I am very sorry about that.
The message is too vague for me to do anything.
If you are confortable with Node.js you can try to run the code directly and see what's up:
https://github.com/garronej/chan-dongle-extended
If you have a more precise error message, I might be able to help you.

I recommend reading the December 2021 update section of the website https://garronej.github.io/chan-dongle-extended-pages/

I have the same problem, Raspberry pi 4

Operating System: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Kernel: Linux 5.10.103-v7l+ Architecture: arm

[garronej]

It needs to be built flr newer

[StarTakko]

It needs to be built flr newer

Yup, Error found

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://github.com/EmergingTechnologyAdvisors/node-serialport/releases/download/4.0.7/serialport-v4.0.7-node-v57-linux-arm.tar.gz node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for serialport@4.0.7 and node@8.9.4 (node-v57 ABI, glibc) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

Same with udev

Sorry I didn't finish my answer the other day.
chan-dongle-extended needs to be build for newer Rasperry pi architecture.
I don't have newer rasperry pi, if you give me access to your rasperry pi via SSH I can try to build it for you.
You can also try to build it yourself: https://github.com/garronej/chan-dongle-extended
If you do it would be cool to send me the bundle so that I can publish it for everybody.

@StarTakko Good news!
It has been built for RasperryPi4

[MatejKovacic]

I have run into the same error. I have RaspberryPi 4, running RasPBX (Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)): uname -a : Linux raspbx 5.10.103-v7l+ #1529 SMP Tue Mar 8 12:24:00 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

OK, what I did next...

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g npm@latest-5

git clone https://github.com/garronej/chan-dongle-extended

cd chan-dongle-extended/

npm run partial_install
npm run release

That went well. Then I run:

npm install

And got this error:

Any idea what does it mean?
