Error installing native Node.js add-on with node-gyp on Apple M1 (Big Sur)

Question

I'm using yarn to install packages including asset-hash, which depends on metrohash.

I constantly run in the following error:

yarn install v1.22.10

I'm using

• MacBook Pro, Apple M1
• macOS Big Sur, 11.2.2
• node 15.10.0
• yarn 1.22.10

What I've tried so far

• tried other node versions 12 and 14
• ran xcode-select --install, removed the tool and reinstalled it
• ran brew update and brew upgrade
• executed the Terminal using Rosetta

I think the error could be related to the Apple M1 chip or the latest Big Sur update.

Any help is much appreciated.

It looks like a M1 problem. Have you asked the package maintaines? – Dragon

No, I haven't. The package metrohash hasn't been updated for 2 year. My colleague says he can build it and is on an M1 too. He uses Big Sur 11.0.1 though. – Illaudable

Answer 1

With the help of a colleague I could fix the error.

I had to uninstall brew and reinstall it using Rosetta. Then I reinstalled node and yarn also using the Terminal in Rosetta mode.

This is only a workaround to emulate everything in x86_64... – Tight

Answer 2

Please compare the node-sass version with your node version

Ithaca

Node sure why node-sass is mentioned here – Drucill

Answer 3

I got the same errors on macOS 12.5 Monterey with M1 Pro. This was the solution for me:

1. Delete node_modules
2. Remove node-sass from package.json
3. yarn install
4. yarn add node-sass

Answer 4

I had the same issue on macOS 12.1 Monterey which was being caused by node-sass-chokidar. The issue arose for me when I switched from an older NodeJS to version 16 LTS.

To fix the issue I:

1. removed node-sass-chokidar from package.json
2. deleted node_modules
3. did a yarn install
4. added node-sass with yarn add node-sass

I also needed to change these lines in "scripts" of package.json.

From:

"build-css": "node-sass-chokidar --include-path ./src --include-path ./node_modules src/ -o src/", "watch-css": "npm run build-css && node-sass-chokidar --include-path ./src --include-path ./node_modules src/ -o src/ --watch --recursive",

To:

"build-css": "node-sass --include-path ./src --include-path ./node_modules src/ -o src/", "watch-css": "npm run build-css && node-sass --include-path ./src --include-path ./node_modules src/ -o src/ --watch --recursive",

After doing that everything has ran fine. There is talk about the efficiency of using node-sass over node-sass-chokidar (https://pretagteam.com/question/remove-nodesass-from-my-react-project-which-uses-createreactapp) just for completeness but it does not seem to have affected my setup.
