node-pty install is failed with gyp ERR

[WhityGhost]

I'm using node v20.17.0 and node-gyp is up-to-date (using v10.2.0)
But whenever I try to install dependencies for my project, I get this error output.

Node-gyp output:

error: install script from "node-pty" exited with 1

I used bun v1.1.21 for installation.
I tried to remove the packages installed and reinstall node-gyp, but all didn't work.
Any help please...
Thank you.

I'm not able to reproduce it with the given information. Could you please provide a minimal example so that it can be reproduced locally?

As can be seen from this link, the current node-pty release supports only Node.js v16. In your case, you try to use it with Node.js v20.
What can be done to use it with the latest versions of Node.js is to use node-pty@beta. Could you please try to install the module with this version in your project?

[WhityGhost]

Thank you for your reply
but installing node-pty@beta shows the same error

And installing node-pty in new empty directory fails with the same error as well

[cclauss]

Perhaps upgrade the tests from Node.js v18 to 20 or 22.

Thank you for your reply but installing node-pty@beta shows the same error

And installing node-pty in new empty directory fails with the same error as well

I created an empty folder and ran the following commands inside:

• npm init
• npm install node-pty@beta

The installation was successful with the latest versions of Node.js (v22.9.0, v20.18.0 and v18.20.4). So, I'm not able to reproduce it locally. Could you write down the commands that you've run?

node-pty definitely works on node 20, that's what I use everyday.

I used bun v1.1.21 for installation.

Last time I heard there were problems with bun and node-gyp/NAPI? microsoft/node-pty#632

[cclauss]

Thanks for your work on node-pyt and your quick response here!

napi is a frequently reported problem.
