Question

I ve got a developer how has node modules installed on his mac and once our functions are deployed we keep getting this error in one of our functions `invalid ELF header` from bcrypt This is probably from the fact that the node modules were installed and native code compiled on his Mac is there a fix for this in progress

agartha · Answer

You can switch to bcryptjs easy or build on Linux harder

Thank you very much bcryptjs worked Is there an issue for adding automatic building to the framework

lastmjs · Answer

I know we talked about this before I can t see the thread anymore though

agartha · Answer

No stupid Slack

agartha · Answer

You need a running Linux docker to build native modules for Linux but that would mean always doing a clean `npm install` in Docker before deploying which will slow the deploy down a lot

agartha · Answer

As it s only needed for native modules it s easy to add that to a npm script in your project yourself

lastmjs · Answer

It s not really easy if you don t have Docker installed nor if your team hasn t dealt with Docker yet Also it s just unnecessary complication for the end user I can no longer just run graphcool deploy

lastmjs · Answer

And native modules are plentiful in my experience this is going to continue to cause issues for people

lastmjs · Answer

NABI and WASM could help someday but not yet

agartha · Answer

I haven t come across any solution for compiling native modules other than Docker

lastmjs · Answer

I m just suggesting that the framework should do it automatically on the user s machine or in graphcool s servers

agartha · Answer

If you don t have Docker it can t happen on the user machine

agartha · Answer

It could happen on the GC server

lastmjs · Answer

Couldn t the framework install Docker as part of installation

agartha · Answer

Well if you use the local environment you already need Docker

lastmjs · Answer

It could install it from source and hopefully do a local install scoped to your project

lastmjs · Answer

True

agartha · Answer

I actually created an issue earlier I linked it to yours

agartha · Answer

My proposal was having Graphcool run their own cloud instance to do the building

agartha · Answer

However if you are already running Docker it s literally a one liner

lastmjs · Answer

I guess the biggest issue is that we haven t started using the local environment yet once we do then yep

agartha · Answer

Good point

A proper CI solution might also do the trick
