Cannot install bleno with nodejs 10.x in a raspberry pi zero. V8_DEPRECATED error

[nikolaof]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the bleno module for node 10.15.0 using either a package.json file or just by running the npm install bleno I'm getting the following error:

 binding.target.mk:99: recipe for target 'Release/obj.target/binding/src/BluetoothHciSocket.o' failed

It seems that it's trying to use an old bluetooth-hci-socket version that using the deprercated V8 macro

While compiling it emmited this error:

../src/BluetoothHciSocket.cpp: In member function ‘void BluetoothHciSocket::emitErrnoError()’:
../src/BluetoothHciSocket.cpp:275:72: error: no matching function for call to ‘v8::Function::NewInstance(int, v8::Local<v8::Value> [1])’
   Local<Value> error = errorConstructor->NewInstance(1, constructorArgs);

Any idea? Maybe the package.json should be changed in order to use the @abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket module.

Yes, I also met.

This is not an issue with bleno but with one of the used packages: https://github.com/noble/node-bluetooth-hci-socket/issues/84 https://github.com/noble/node-bluetooth-hci-socket/pull/91

An update to Node10 would be great!

I can confirm changing the node-bluetooth-hci-socket dependency works. Change node-bluetooth-hci-socket to "@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket": "^0.5.3-5". And then update the require('bluetooth-hci-socket') to require('@abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket')

Got it building and advertising on my raspi 4, after having the exact error posted in the OP. Have not tested extensively yet.

Changing dependency: https://github.com/arthare/bleno/commit/596acd9f32f889b8757f66bde23e25f488644259 Changing requires: https://github.com/arthare/bleno/commit/ae0034ab86a309f0dca7d77b1fed95e988d4e0bf

I'm using @abandonware/bleno with node.js 12.19 and so far everything works well.

I followed @arthare advices, I'm running it with NodeJs 15.5.0 like a charm, thank you.
