dolos-parsers fails to build on Windows natively "No such file or directory" of binding.sln.gyp

Closed this issue 6 months ago · 2 comments

Please help me to walk over the following error when installing dolos-lib in a nodejs project with the command:

npm install @dodona/dolos-lib

Error messages:

I am using Windows 11, MSVS 2022 Community Edition with C/C++ fully optioned, Python 3.10.9, NodeJS 20.10.0, npm 10.2.3, node-gyp 10.1.0 installed as global package.
The NodeJS project is a start-up one created with npm init -y.

Notably, I think the most important error line is the following one but I don't know why it happens and how to fix:

npm ERR! FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'D:\\tmp\\js\\node_modules\\@dodona\\dolos-parsers\\build\\bash\\binding.sln.gyp.qn9a2l5_.tmp'

Thank you.

Hi @daotrungkien, unfortunately we've bumped on this issue earlier (https://github.com/dodona-edu/dolos/actions/runs/8631612300/job/23660392187?pr=1458) and haven't found a fix.

Building dolos-parsers seems to be broken on Windows natively. There line you picked up is indeed is an sln-file that should be generated (I think by node-gyp) and that does seem to have happened. I unfortunately don't know enough of how node-gyp works on Windows and I don't have the bandwidth to fix this currently.

Feel free to dig deeper in this issue to find the root cause.

Dolos should work on Windows within WSL though, I hope that is something that could work for you?

Thanks @rien, I followed your instruction and successfully made it work under WSL.
Sorry I am not expert in node-gyp neither :)

So as this issue is redundant, I will close it.
