'Could not locate the bindings file' - wrong module_root_dir?
Closed this issue · 10 comments
Your module is used in TS import * as openvr from "openvr.js";
The code is built with WebPack, then run via an npm script which calls node index.js (actually, names have been changed to protect the innocent, but that's not relevant). I run that by pressing the 'play' button in the VSCode 'npm scripts' gui.
This has been working ok on a co-workers system (maybe they invoke the script slightly differently), but on mine I get a runtime error:
Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried:

Looking at my node_modules folder, I do have <my_project_root>\node_modules\openvr.js\build\Release\openvr.node (and openvr_api.dll, both dated 1985 for some reason), but it appears that on my system it is basing its search on locations in <my_project_root> rather than <my_project_root>\node_modules\openvr.js\.
(in case it's not clear, where I've put <my_project_root> it is actually printing the full absolute path to the root of the project on c: - I haven't tried running on a non-Windows OS, or a non-VR system)
I am running npm 7.11.2, node v16.1.0. I suspect the other machine is probably on an older / different version - we don't have a mechanism in place for synching that.
It seems that on the other machine, these files had actually been manually copied to a place where they could be found.
However, on my machine, doing that just results in another error Error: \\?\C:\code\project\build\openvr.node is not a valid Win32 application.
Aww.. I'm going to make binding module to source-only. It will be fixed by next week.
Ok, thanks for the quick response.
It was fixed maybe. Can you check it?
That does seem to fix the initial issue, although I again have the new problem of openvr.node is not a valid Win32 application.
Actually, bear with me - I'm not convinced I was running the latest version...
I get a similar set of link errors either when installing the latest version from npm, or running npm install in my fork:

When I initially got errors doing npm install openvr.js@latest, I tried deleting node_modules and running npm install again, which lead to no error messages during install, but the runtime error openvr.node is not a valid Win32 application.
Can I see sample code?
I think I needed to update Node.
