Failed to load native bindings

[Stono]

Hi,
We've just bumped up to 4.3.5 from 3.8.6 and our builds, only in docker, on both linux/arm64 and linux/amd64 are failing with:

#10 [app build 6/7] RUN ./node_modules/.bin/eslint -c eslint.config.js

Builds locally on macs (arm, darwin) work fine.

I've read #431 and #405 (comment) and neither of them help me (or i'm being stupid!).

This is the dependency tree:

#8 [app build 4/7] RUN npm ls unrs-resolver @unrs/resolver-binding-linux-x64-gnu eslint-import-resolver-typescript
#8 0.613 pokr@0.1.0 /usr/local/autotrader/app
#8 0.613 └─┬ @at/newbitzer-dev@1.0.1342
#8 0.613   └─┬ @at/webserver-dev@3.0.1180
#8 0.613     └─┬ @at/eslint-config-infrastructure@3.0.515
#8 0.613       └─┬ eslint-import-resolver-typescript@4.3.5
#8 0.613         └── unrs-resolver@1.7.2

I don't see @unrs/resolver-binding-linux-x64-gnu so perhaps that's what's being hinted at in another issue, with the install silently failing? I can't see any info to validate that though.

Rolling back to 3.9.1 fixes it.

OK so doing a bit more digging, we were confused why some apps were fine, and others weren't. Turns out the broken ones had --omit=optional; so clearly that was causing something thats not actually optional (the resolver) to not install which then breaks unrs-resolver.

[JounQin]

--omit=optional can not be used for any @nap-rs ecosystem packages.

optionalDependencies is used because there are many targets: https://app.unpkg.com/unrs-resolver@1.7.2/files/package.json#L56-75

[JounQin]

@Stono Actually we have a postinstall script https://github.com/un-ts/napi-postinstall to ensure it'll work even with --skip-optional, so are you using --skip-scripts at the same time? And what package manager are you using?

Finally you can always install the correct native binding or WASM binding manually to workaround.

[Stono]

Hey @JounQin; we are not using skip-scripts, no, full command is npm install --omit=optional.
As for installing the correct bindings unfortunately it won't work as we dev on mac, but build and deploy in linux, so they require different bindings...
I'm super curious what's going wrong then, i'll try and produce a more minimal example.

[Stono]

Dockerfile:

FROM node:22
ADD package.json .
RUN npm i --omit=optional
RUN npm ls --depth=10 | grep un

package.json:

{
  "name": "test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "a test",
  "main": "eslint.config.js",
  "directories": {
    "example": "examples",
    "lib": "lib",
    "test": "test"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "typescript": "5.8.3",
    "eslint": "9.27.0",
    "eslint-import-resolver-typescript": "4.3.5"
  },
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

Results in (no bindings):

removing --omit=optional and its fine. So looks like omitting optional results in your post-install also not running.

[JounQin]

OK, npm again... Could you please provide a GitHub repo as repro instead? And run npx envinfo.

And installing @unrs/resolver-binding-wasm32-wasi manually should work for all os/arch.

[Stono]

That example I provided above is literally all of it, the first bit is the Dockerfile using the public node:22 image:

docker run --rm node:22 npx envinfo
npm warn exec The following package was not found and will be installed: envinfo@7.14.0

I need a repo to clone, that's easier to setup.

No worries, will sort it tomorrow! Ta *Karl Stoney* https://karlstoney.com
