⚠️

https://github.com/Microsoft/node-pty/issues/279

Node.js 12 is not supported by this plugin until the issue above is resolved.

[robertgranholm]

Shoot...upgraded node to get ffmeg homebridge plugin working and then ran into this....waiting in the wings for Node 12 support

[realdannys]

Damn, me too.

[oznu]

This should be resolved in 4.4.1 which is in beta. I'm looking for a couple people to test this before publishing to everyone.

The beta release can be installed with this command:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x@next

Hello, thats great, i tasted with node 12.2.0 and config-ui-x 4.4.1-beta.1 and it works perfectly. thank you very much.

[robertgranholm]

Hmm I installed the beta, homebridge started it up okay, no errors this time, however I still get a 402 bad gateway when trying to load the ui address. Here's load up - http://getsupport.itarsenal.com/snaps/Monosnap_2019-05-14_10-41-20.png

[oznu]

@robertgranholm 502 bad gateway? That sounds like a reverse proxy issue.

[oznu]

Resolved in v4.4.1

[RMCob]

Updated to 4.4.1. Then updated node from 8.16 to 12.2.
Got the Cannot find module '../build/Debug/pty.node' error.
Reverted node back to 8.16 and everything ok.

[marcoschmidt79]

update first node and then npm rebuild

[RMCob]

Not sure what you mean by "npm rebuild".
I totally removed homebridge-config-ui-x and nodejs. Installed the latest node (12.2) via apt-install.
Installed the latest homebridge-config-ui-x via npm. Still get the same error. When I revert nodejs back to 8.16 homebridge-config-ui-x starts with no issues.

[marcoschmidt79]

please open new issue with your problem and log from install and homebridge-start. my problem is not your problem

[janthony6]

I get the same error.

If you're getting pty.node errors, then the npm command would have errored out during the fresh installation of the plugin you did after upgrading a major node.js version.

# cleanup
sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x

# reinstall
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x

[janthony6]

still crashing after trying that but with less errors. getting this:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
Aborted

[janthony6]

okay i figured it out. nest was busted on node 12

[pasna]

Hi,
Any news on error fixed for node12?

[oznu]

This was fixed some time ago.

[mentaluproar]

Not fixed for me. Same problem.

[oznu]

After doing a major version upgrade you need to rebuild or reinstall:

# cleanup
sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-config-ui-x

# reinstall
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-config-ui-x

[mentaluproar]

tried rebuild. didn't work. Tried removing and reinstalling. didn't work.

[oznu]

@mentaluproar raise an issue and I'll see what I can do to help - https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-config-ui-x/issues/new?assignees=&labels=question&template=support-request.md

[mentaluproar]

I removed the plugin and tried launching again. Homebridge still tries to load it, even though its not installed and its not in the config.json. I'm going to dig a little more. It's possible this problem is my rig and not your plugin.

[mentaluproar]

Yea, node is totally broken on my system. Ignore this. Sorry.
