Error when installing, docker on synology nas

[phralh]

Hi,

I get these errors when trying to install in node-red official docker container on synology nas 718+. I have successfully installed on another synology nas and have tried both the latest node-red, and the previous successful version 10.3.

Any ideas?

This appears to be a problem with the Serialport package version 9.0.0. It looks like it is using a version of nan.h that is not compatible with Node v 10.17.0 - please raise an issue at https://github.com/serialport/node-serialport/issues. Serialport is used by rfxcom, which node-red-contrib-rfxcom uses

I am getting the same issue when using Node-Red in Home Assistant. I've also tried reverting back to previous snapshots but get similar errors.

Is there a way of reverting back to an older version of the previous node-red-contrib-rfxcom npm?

All of my flows in Node Red have been disabled.

You can revert back to an older version of a package by adding a version specifier to the npm install command:

npm install node-red-contrib-rfxcom@2.10.0

However, this will not fix everything, as the problem is two levels of dependency down:

node-red-contrib-rfxcom --> rfxcom --> serialport

I think you will need to manually roll back node-red-contrib-rfxcom to 2.10.0, then rfxcom to 2.2.0, then serialport to 8.0.8. In each case this has to be done from within the appropriate node_modules directory.

However, as this is a serialport problem, if you don't raise an issue with them it is unlikely to get fixed. I can't help you, but the serialport maintainers should be able to.

Thank you for your reply.

Forgive me for my lack of understanding, I'm not a developer and I don't understand what broke or how. I didn't knowingly make any changes before this happened.

What technically do we tell the "Serialport" maintainers?

In your previous message you mention its something incompatible with Node v 10.17.0. I dont know where this is configured, can I revert back to an older version? What settings are you running for it to work?

I've tried putting the followin line in my Node-Red configuration and as you suggested, it doesnt work npm_packages:

• node-red-contrib-rfxcom@2.10.0

I'm not seeing any other posts about this component being broken, which suggests it may be something on my installation.

I appreciate this isn't a Home Assistant forum, but is there anything in my configuration below that jumps out as a possible cause for this suddenly happening?

arch | x86_64 chassis | desktop dev | false docker | true docker_version | 19.03.8 hassio | true host_os | Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installation_type | Home Assistant Supervised os_name | Linux os_version | 5.4.0-40-generic python_version | 3.7.7 supervisor | 229 timezone | Europe/London version | 0.112.4 virtualenv | false

This is my Node-Red configuration as defined in Home Assistant credential_secret: ###### dark_mode: false http_node: username: #### password: #### http_static: username: '' password: '' ssl: true certfile: fullchain.pem keyfile: privkey.pem require_ssl: true system_packages: [] npm_packages:

Many thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. This solved my issue:

Manual installation of serialport@latest worked fine. Moved on to manual installation of node-rfxcom@latest which gave me the error above. Tested a few different versions of node-rfxcom and version 2.1.0 installed without error. Finally moved on to trying a few different versions of node-red-contrib-rfxcom and found that 2.1.1 worked fine on the latest docker image of node-red, version 1.1.2.

Regards Fredrik

@phralh - I'm not sure I follow you there: do you say node-rfxcom version 2.1.0 with serialport latest (9.0.0) installs OK, but subsequent versions 2.1.1, 2.2.0, and 2.3.0 give the compiler error in your original report? That seems strange. However, I would expect any recent version of node-red-contrib-rfxcom to work OK, give or take a couple of bugs, with that combination. But node-red-contrib-rfxcom version 2.1.1 is very old indeed! Do you mean 2.11.1?

P.S. I'm still on Node-RED 1.0.3 and Node 12.14.0 here - I wonder if that makes a difference?

@jag100UK - I know people have had trouble with Home Assistant installs in the past that they have somehow fixed, though I don't use it myself. In your case it looks as if serialport has not been properly installed for some reason. You might try uninstalling node-red-contrib-rfxcom completely and then re-installing.

The common thread here appears to be the use of Docker: I have never tried using it here myself, might have to set up a test system...

For anyone who has this issue using NodeRed on Home Assistant, a fix can be found here

[maxwellhadley]

To force a complete reinstallation of serialport, including recompiling C++ sources where necessary, when you get an 'incompatible Node versions' message or for any other reason, the most reliable approach seems to be:

cd ~/.node-red
npm uninstall node-red-contrib-rfxcom node-red-node-serialport rfxcom serialport
npm install node-red-contrib-rfxcom node-red-node-serialport

It's best to uninstall all four packages, as it looks like some versions of npm don't follow the dependency chain all the way.

Version 2.13.0 now published to npm uses serialport 11.x.x, to retain compatibility with NodeJS v14.
