Describe the Bug

For some reason when I use the serialport npm package in my app, it compiles but when I try to run it it throws this error (no matter what platform I build for):

$ ./app

pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1876
      throw error;
      ^

Error: No native build was found for platform=linux arch=x64 runtime=node abi=83 uv=1 libc=glibc node=14.19.2

Here is my package.json

{
  "name": "pkg",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "serialport": "^10.4.0"
  }
}

And here is my app.js

const { SerialPort } = require('serialport')

const port = new SerialPort({
  path: '/dev/ttyUSB0',
  baudRate: 19200,
})

console.log('Serial port opened successfully!')

And this is how I build:

$ pkg app.js --target=node14-linux-x64
> pkg@5.7.0

any solution?

@patsonkaushik yes, there is a solution. You need to copy the prebuilt binaries directory to your project root.

Indeed! TL;DR Copy the folder node_modules/@serialport/bindings-cpp/prebuilds to the location of your binary.

So, I was having the same issue and couldn’t find the reason. But by looking at the stack trace:

Error: No native build was found for platform=linux arch=x64 runtime=node abi=93 uv=1 libc=glibc node=16.15.0
    loaded from: /snapshot/avr-bulk-flasher/node_modules/@serialport/bindings-cpp

    at Function.path (/snapshot/MY_PROJECT/node_modules/node-gyp-build/index.js:61:9)
    at load (/snapshot/MY_PROJECT/node_modules/node-gyp-build/index.js:22:30)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/snapshot/MY_PROJECT/node_modules/@serialport/bindings-cpp/dist/load-bindings.js:10:46)
    at Module._compile (pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1930:22)

I opened the file referenced here:

    at Function.path (/snapshot/MY_PROJECT/node_modules/node-gyp-build/index.js:61:9)

which looks like this: (simplified)


load.path = function (dir) {
  dir = path.resolve(dir || '.')
  var nearby = resolve(path.dirname(process.execPath))
  if (nearby) return nearby

  throw new Error('No native build was found for ' + target + '\n    loaded from: ' + dir + '\n')

  function resolve (dir) {
    // Find matching "prebuilds/<platform>-<arch>" directory
    var tuples = readdirSync(path.join(dir, 'prebuilds')).map(parseTuple)
    var tuple = tuples.filter(matchTuple(platform, arch)).sort(compareTuples)[0]
    if (!tuple) return

    // Find most specific flavor first
    var prebuilds = path.join(dir, 'prebuilds', tuple.name)
    var parsed = readdirSync(prebuilds).map(parseTags)
    var candidates = parsed.filter(matchTags(runtime, abi))
    var winner = candidates.sort(compareTags(runtime))[0]
    if (winner) return path.join(prebuilds, winner.file)
  }
}

There you can see the pattern where it looks for the native prebuilds. Complete source of node-gyp-build

I added the corresponding module to the “assets” to solve this problem.

I added node_modules/@serialport/bindings-cpp/prebuilds to the assets then problem solved.

package.json

{
  ...
  "pkg": {
    "outputPath": ".dist",
    "targets": [
      ...
    ],
    "assets": [
      ...,
      "node_modules/@serialport/bindings-cpp/prebuilds"
    ]
  },
  ...
}
