Cannot find module './lib/binding/napi-v3/argon2.node'[Bug]: #5561

RealEthanPlayzDev · 2022-09-16T06:56:12Z

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

Web Browser: Brave
Local OS: Android
Remote OS: Android (Termux, using proot-distro with the archlinux distro)
Remote Architecture: ARM64
code-server --version: 4.7.0 (can't use command since it can't run, but this is the version I downloaded)

Steps to Reproduce

Use the install script to install code-server in the standalone method
Try running code-server (like code-server --version)
It fails.

Expected

code-server to run fine without any errors.

Actual

code-server crashes with the following error:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;

Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.
I cannot reproduce this in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

I am using HTTPS.

Notes

Albeit i'm using Termux, I run code-server in a proot-distro environment using the archlinux distro!
Installed nodejs-lts-gallium package and npm with pacman
Using npm directly doesn't really work for me, the last time I've used it, no matter what I do I couldn't upgrade code-server when a new release was released. (either saying it can't find some cached files, or it doesn't do anything and make me waste time)

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

jsjoeio · 2022-09-16T15:00:32Z

First, thanks for the thorough notes! Second, sorry to hear this is happening. code-server used to work so well on Termux and the last few months haven't been great.

Could you try building node-argon2 from source and seeing if that works? https://github.com/ranisalt/node-argon2#before-installing

RealEthanPlayzDev · 2022-09-16T15:48:38Z

@jsjoeio Nope, I don't think it worked: (followed installation and rebuild steps, both failed)

I believe I've been starting to have issues with installating a standalone release ever since v4.5.1 when I reset my Termux data to redo it from scratch again, before that I used to be able to install v4.0.0, v4.0.2, v4.0.5

jsjoeio · 2022-09-16T21:00:49Z

Thanks for trying! Let me raise an issue upstream and see if the node-argon2 team has recommendations

jsjoeio · 2022-09-16T21:04:57Z

Wait one last thing, can you try npm_config_build_from_source=true CXX=g++ npm install argon2 in the same directory you were testing before?

RealEthanPlayzDev · 2022-09-17T02:47:45Z

@jsjoeio No, the command still doesn't work (I assume you are supposed to execute npm install related commands in the installation directory, specifically ~/.local/lib/code-server-4.7.0, correct me if this is wrong)

RealEthanPlayzDev · 2022-09-17T03:11:15Z

I've tried the suggestion in #5184 (comment) which is going to the argon2 folder in node_modules (~/.local/lib/code-server-4.7.0/node_modules/argon2) and do npm install, this was the result:

[radiatedexodus code-server-4.7.0]$ cd node_modules/argon2
[radiatedexodus argon2]$ ls

npm ERR!     /home/radiatedexodus/.npm/_logs/2022-09-17T03_03_16_867Z-debug-0.log

This was also one of the reasons I didn't want to bother using npm to deal with it, it has strange issues with not being able to find cached files and I'm getting tired of dealing with them (I've said this in the notes)

Using npm directly doesn't really work for me, the last time I've used it, no matter what I do I couldn't upgrade code-server when a new release was released. (either saying it can't find some cached files, or it doesn't do anything and make me waste time)

Additionally, I have to do a correction for the part where I said the early 4.x.x versions worked fine:

When 4.x.x releases were finally introduced (v4.0.0, v4.0.2, v4.0.5 are the ones I remember installing), I was able to install a standalone version of them just fine
At some point, when the latest version was v4.5.1, I could not install a standalone version and was met with this issue, my workaround was to use npm but as I've said, now that I want to update to v4.7.0, it basically fails saying it can't find cached files or just succeed but not actually upgrade it, basically like locking it at v4.5.1 (I did clear the cached files and it did not help)
I do not know when or what exact version that first had this issue, the earliest would be v4.5.1, but there could be more older versions that has a broken standalone release

jsjoeio · 2022-09-19T18:20:20Z

Thank you for the thorough explanation @RealEthanPlayzDev! I can empathize, this sounds frustrating. I am not sure myself or @code-asher have bandwidth to dive deep on this right now but I'll make it high priority and we can look at this in the upcoming or next milestone.

RealEthanPlayzDev · 2022-09-20T15:35:02Z

@jsjoeio I understand. I'll wait for the fix, you can take your time!

jsjoeio · 2022-09-20T21:15:34Z

Thanks for understanding!

Sonotoki-da · 2022-09-22T21:21:45Z

It works when you download a tar.gz release for arm64, and run it direcrtly, executing code-server which is stored in the bin folder.

My specs are:
termux the latest version (installed from github releases)
proot'ed into manjaro-aarch64
node 18

The result:

But yes, the errors are the same when installed via the script.

jsjoeio · 2022-09-22T22:52:10Z

@Sonotoki-da wow, thanks for sharing! I wonder then if we can just create a copy of that tar.gz and call it termux.tar.gz which would resolve #5515

thoughts @code-asher?

RealEthanPlayzDev · 2022-09-23T00:32:42Z

It works when you download a tar.gz release for arm64, and run it direcrtly, executing code-server which is stored in the bin folder.

I wonder what tar.gz did the script download then 🤔
@Sonotoki-da Anyways, thanks for telling me that! I'll try it real quick

EDIT: It worked!

RealEthanPlayzDev · 2022-09-23T00:43:08Z

@jsjoeio I suppose code-server uses symlinks right? I think those links broke in the process of installation (I tried moving the extracted code-server from the comment above to ~/.local/lib and it gave back me argon2 error, rm-rf'ed the folder and re-extracted the tar with tar -xvf /path/to/code-server-tar.tar.gz in lib folder at .local and it worked fine)

jsjoeio · 2022-09-23T15:23:49Z

I think those links broke in the process of installation

Holy cow, that's amazing insight. We've had troubles with Termux in the past and maybe this is the clue we've been missing. Thank you so much for trying and confirming!

@code-asher does this spark any ideas?

code-asher · 2022-09-23T16:22:04Z

Ah yeah if you are using something like proot I believe the prebuild should work. Running directly on Termux should not work though as that would require specifically compiling for Termux. I think our Termux docs mention proot but I wonder if our installer has some issues in that scenario like pulling the wrong prebuild. It would be worthwhile to verify the install script's behavior in proot with a dry run to see what is trying to do. There are some symlinks but I am not sure how they would break. It would make sense to see if we can reliably reproduce.

Sorry to bump the issue but I've had the same problem with op but mine was inside termux shell, not proot. Since links are a known issue I wanted to share my own insight to the problem. When you ignore the argon2 issue with yarn / npm and run install script it gives this output :

As you can see node wasn't recognized so I had to link it manually as well. I couldn't go past this I'm afraid. Let me know if these help. Thanks.

Edit: Termux has mingw-w64-gcc-libs package that includes libstdc++ but installing it did not change anything whatsoever.

jsjoeio · 2022-10-27T21:47:11Z

Thank you for sharing all that! One idea, which we've tried in the past is switching to @node-rs/argon2 (see here: #4804 (comment)). We may investigate that again and see if using --force with the npm install works.

code-asher · 2022-10-28T17:40:01Z

Yeah I would not expect the standalone arm64 GitHub release to work on Android. I believe we would need to compile specifically for Termux rather than generic Linux arm64. We should fix the install script trying to download a release that will not work and make it use npm install instead.

utkustnr · 2022-11-11T06:09:56Z

Hey, I know this is not directly connected to argon2 issue but since I bringed up termux I might as well follow up on it. Apparently termux has a user repository with it's own code-server install script. (see here: code-server) Installing code-server was as easy as pkg install code-server after installing repo. Install script was created just a few days ago as well, figured I should give a heads up.

code-asher · 2022-11-14T20:06:00Z

Good point! I think we can close this issue once we get the install script changes done in #5745.

haruki-py · 2024-03-28T05:02:47Z

Doing as per termux docs worked for me.
