Error when installing node.js sap/hana-client

[alecava97]

Hi, during the installation of sap/hana-client from npm, I get the following error:

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 3221226356
npm ERR! @sap/hana-client@2.13.13 install: `node checkbuild.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 3221226356
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the @sap/hana-client@2.13.13 install script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.:

My versions are: {"npm":"6.14.11","node":"14.16.0"}

Error log: errorlog.txt

How can I fix this problems or any suggestions?

Best

Hello,

Can you try the latest version (@sap/hana-client@2.13.22)?

If you set environment variable 'DEBUG' to '*', hana-client will show more specific error message. That should help us solving this issue.

Kind regards,

Minghai

Hello,

I tried running the npm install command with SET DEBUG = * (SET DEBUG = * & npm install) but it doesn't give any further information.

I also tried setting the value ("DEBUG": "*") in the default-env.json

If it is wrong, please could you tell me the correct way to set the 'DEBUG = *'?

I work in Windows 10.

My package.json is: packagetest.txt

Thank you for regard.

If you don't require a fully featured driver, you can try hdb instead.

Hi, I need to use (@sap/hdi-deploy) and (@sap/hana-client) is a prerequisite for it.

To deploy on an XSA engine.

Hi Alessandro,

To troubleshoot the problem, can you try installing @sap/hana-client by itself on your Windows 10 machine?

set DEBUG=*

npm install -g @sap/hana-client

This might show something helpful.

Dear Allessandro,

Currently only the major releases 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 of Node.js are supported with the @sap/hana-client.

Find the actually supported Node.js revisions in SAP Note 2499500 and information about the Node.js revisions on nodejs.org

Important: always install the latest @sap/hana-client to benefit from fixes and new funtionalities.

We are preparing SAP note 3203648 to describe the situation.

Best regards

Hello,

The 2.14.18 HANA Client has now been released (now on npm) with this support.

Best regards,

Jeff

The SAP Note is pretty old. Newer versions of hana-client are supporting also newer versions of node.

I found the following problem in the log:

```

73 verbose stack Error: command failed
73 verbose stack at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/Users/D029752/.nvm/versions/node/v16.17.0/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/@npmcli/promise-spawn/lib/index.js:63:27)

```

and later:

83 error FATAL ERROR: A fatal error occurred during install.
83 error Cannot find module '/Users/D029752/node_modules/@sap/hana-client/prebuilt/darwinarm64-xcode12/hana-client.node'

It seems that npm looks for xcode12 binaries, whereas in the hana-client package there is only a xcode7 binary.

I guess you have to wait until. SAP is releasing it with the right binaries. That's the hassle with non-native packages.
