Cannot open include file: 'setimmediate.h'

[q00u]

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'setimmediate.h': No such file or directory

(during npm install after a fresh re-install/upgrade of npm 12.10.0, on an existing project that previously worked fine)

I'm so confused. setimmediate-napi IS listed as a dependency, so why can't it find it?

[addaleax]

Can you share more debug output, e.g. npm-debug.log?

[addaleax]

Hm, maybe this is a Windows-specific issue? I’ll try to look into this tomorrow, thanks for the report.

[sam17896]

I am also getting same issue on windows

[1Jesper1]

Any fix available @addaleax ? We have the same problem. Seems we were already on Jest 25.0.0 branch, reverted to 24.8.0 to fix this problem! https://github.com/facebook/jest/blob/8a10175d4fc57ace6b5eb9758230975c905d75bc/CHANGELOG.md

[kaiyoma]

Also getting this failure on Windows 10 after upgrading some packages. Specifically, after upgrading esprint to the latest version.

[kaiyoma]

I went back and tried all the old versions of this package and only 1.0.0 builds correctly for me. All the other versions have this Cannot open include file: 'setimmediate.h': No such file or directory error.

[addaleax]

@kaiyoma Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this through npm install weak-napi or npm install ffi-napi, so you may have to share more information here in order for me to reproduce this :/

[kaiyoma]

This package.json is enough to do it for me:

{
  "name": "weak-napi-test",
  "devDependencies": {
    "esprint": "0.6.0"
  }
}

Here's the output of yarn install:

[addaleax]

@q00u @kaiyoma I could reproduce this after some trying -- unfortunately, both of you most likely removed information that is relevant for debugging this, namely that the path you're installing into contains spaces. 😕

I'll try to fix this, but building native code in paths with spaces tends to go wrong more often than not, and I'd avoid it if at all possible.

[q00u]

Neither my user folder nor the project folder have any spaces in them.

nodjs is installed to Program Files though, and that does have a space.

[addaleax]

@q00u With spaces is the only way I could reproduce. It should be fine for Node.js itself to be installed in a path with spaces.

Either way, the spaces issue is the one I will fix because it’s the only one with enough information to address it at the moment.

[addaleax]

@q00u @kaiyoma I've published updated versions of the relevant packages. Can you check whether your issue has been resolved?

[kaiyoma]

I tried a fresh install with the package.json above and everything worked correctly. 🎉

[addaleax]

Great! I’ll close this out, if anybody has similar trouble, feel free to open a new issue. :)
