Fourseven:scss package problem during installation node-sass on macOS

help
#1

Hi, after migration my project from Ubuntu to MacOS, I have problem when I wants to run meteor app (development). Problem is probably with node-sass package, which is dependency of fourseven:scss. Meteor is unable to download node-sass package, In ubuntu from the same network everything works. Also, when I tried to install node sass (same version) globally directly with npm, node-sass is installed without problems (on same macOS machne). …only meteor is not able to download the package. Starting the meteor will break with following error:

While loading package fourseven:scss@4.15.0:
   error: Command failed:
   /Users/nodsec/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.2.5.6.2hd4yu.rdoie++os.osx.arm64+web.browser+web.browser.legacy+web.cordova/mt-os.osx.arm64/dev_bundle/bin/npm rebuild
   --update-binary
   Cannot download "https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.14.1/darwin-arm64-83_binding.node": 
   
   HTTP error 404 Not Found
   
   Hint: If github.com is not accessible in your location
   try setting a proxy via HTTP_PROXY, e.g. 
   
   export HTTP_PROXY=http://example.com:1234
   
   or configure npm proxy via
   
   npm config set proxy http://example.com:8080
   gyp info it worked if it ends with ok

Thanks a lot for an each help :slight_smile:

Hi @nodsec

Which macOS version are you using? Is it M1? also, what is your Node Version?

macOS: 12.13.1
M1: yes
Node: v14.19.1

npm install -g node-sass is successfully done

meteor run will crash during the installation of node-sass

…I tried to check the url of the package, which is using by npm and its: https://registry.npmjs.org/node-sass/-/node-sass-4.14.1.tgz and meteor url is https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.14.1/darwin-arm64-83_binding.node, therefore It seems to be, that the required file is missing in GitHub.

@hschmaiske …I tried to create example project simple-todos-react, when I will start it, it works, and when I will install fourseven:scss and start, I get the same error.

I am also getting the same error on M1 mac (Node v16) (Meteor 2.7.1) when trying to do meteor add fourseven:scss

Meteor works with Node.js version >= 10 and <= 14.…
Node v16 is not supported by Meteor.

Yes, I’m using M1 here. Do you just have an error when you try to run meteor add fourseven:scss? Because I was able to run that without any problems, and also the app is still running
Which version of Meteor are you using? Try to upgrade to the latest version: 2.7.1 using the npm install -g meteor instead of the curl way.

Oh no, I don’t know why I didn’t read that before starting my project. Will meteor support v16 in near future? My whole project is built with node v16. :neutral_face: All other things seem to work as expected.

Work is underway to upgrade to Node v16. It’s our top priority at the moment.
Fibers are the blocker for this upgrade.
Replacing them is a major undertaking and is being documented here:

Unless you need node v16 for a specific package, it shouldn’t be a problem to use node v14. Just make sure to remove your node_modules folder and install everything again running meteor npm install

@hschmaiske I get error in following cases:

  • meteor start (when meteor wants to download fourseven dependency),
  • meteor add fourseven…
  • meteor update

Same error on existing project from Ubuntu and same error with new project “simple-todos-react” when I will add fourseven dependency.

I have installed meteor through curl, I will try to install with npm and I will let you know, if it helped :slight_smile:

@hschmaiske @mad-coder @minhna THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!

install meteor through the npm SOLVED the problem… :slight_smile:

But for the better understand, can you tell me why? Meteor installed through the npm is not same like meteor installed with curl?

Glad that it worked :tada:

It doesn’t suppose to have besides that the curl comes with node and the npm you need to have node installed first.
We also have a thread for it on GitHub, Error: missing tool for os.osx.arm64 in meteor-tool@2.7.1 in Mac M1 · Issue #12012 · meteor/meteor · GitHub
He was able to make it work just by installing python2, which does not come by default on M1.
