Build error

[tomaae]

Hello, I'm unable to install this plugin from Homebridge Config UI X, with following errors:

../src/serialport.cpp: In function ‘Nan::NAN_METHOD_RETURN_TYPE Open(Nan::NAN_METHOD_ARGS_TYPE)’: ../src/serialport.cpp:41:48: error: no matching function for call to ‘v8::Value::ToString()’ v8::String::Utf8Value path(info[0]->ToString()); ........................................................... gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: make failed with exit code: 2 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:194:23) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:210:5) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:272:12) gyp ERR!

looks like there is some old serialport version in requirements.

exit code 2 is just a generic error. Problem is that dependency under version specified in this package serialport@6.2.2 wont compile with current version of nodejs as required by homebridge. latest serialport will compile file, so it was already fixed on their side, but maintainer of homebridge-zigbee will probably have to update dependency versions.

47 was just closed without any comment, could be just person giving up on the module.

After updating serialport dependencies to 8 (6.2.2 is latest in 6 and 7 does not exist), installation is successful, but there is following error: Unhandled Rejection TypeError: SerialPort.list no longer takes a callback and only returns a promise at Function.SerialPort.list (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-zigbee/node_modules/@serialport/stream/lib/index.js:651:11)

So I guess that maintainer needs to update this plugin to work with newer serialport version for it to work.

Looks like that error is related to port detection. once I set the port manually it went away. There is no error anymore and homebridge reports plugin starting. But there is no "Permit Join" switch in accessories.

after updating dependencies (serialport to 8.0.5 in homebridge-zigbee and cc-znp) and adding homebridge user to group dialout, everything except port detection seem to work. Initial port detection is no big deal, since it can be just added manually.

I leave this issue opened for maintainer to update code and document.

@tomaae The same issue for me - can't install the plugin after I had removed docker container with homebridge and have reinstalled the homebridge.

So is this plugin now unusable? It does not install on a Raspberry Pi; I have also installed the latest version of SerialPort independently and installation is still a no go.
