Issues with JDK 13 and 14

[saagarwa]

When I am using JDK 8 and 11, it seems to work fine.

But with JDK 13 and 14, I am getting this error:

SOLINK_MODULE(target) Release/nodejavabridge_bindings.node ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/jli' ld: library not found for -ljli clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make: *** [Release/nodejavabridge_bindings.node] Error 1 gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: make failed with exit code: 2 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/Users/saagarwa/.nvs/node/10.15.3/x64/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:262:23) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:189:13) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:248:12) gyp ERR!

Actually in JDK 14 (and 13), libjli.dylib is under: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/libjli.dylib

But in JDK 8 and 11, its under: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.6.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/jli/libjli.dylib

same issue when running npm i java.

please see this answer for possible fix: https://github.com/joeferner/node-java/issues/494#issuecomment-593880511

it looks like this code needs to be changed to account for the directory change in 13-14 https://github.com/joeferner/node-java/blob/09f87eeb36110b0f9d201074050c7f9dc3f838bd/find_java_libdir.sh#L48

$ brew install openjdk
$ java -version
openjdk version "14.0.1" 2020-04-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 14.0.1+14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.1+14, mixed mode, sharing)
$ CXX="clang++ -I${JAVA_HOME}/include/darwin/" npm install --save java

installs correctly. However, when using import, I receive the following error:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _JNI_CreateJavaVM
  Referenced from: (redacted)/node_modules/java/build/Release/nodejavabridge_bindings.node
  Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _JNI_CreateJavaVM
  Referenced from: (redacted)/node_modules/java/build/Release/nodejavabridge_bindings.node
  Expected in: flat namespace

Same issue exists for OpenJDK 11.

Calling node this way resolves the issue:

$ DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=${JAVA_HOME}/lib/server/libjvm.dylib node

[danielwsutton]

lib_dir="${jre_dir}/jli"

I forked this change, https://github.com/danielwsutton/node-java/commit/1e30ba786a6965fd8df2b643a5d962b06891d4fb

From:

lib_dir="${jre_dir}/jli" 

To:

if [[ -f ${jre_dir}/jli/libjli.dylib ]]; then lib_dir="${jre_dir}"/jli; else lib_dir="${jre_dir}"; fi

So far it seems to be working,

I testing on adoptopenjdk8 and adoptopenjdk12 , your mileage may vary,

[danielwsutton]

I did run into a new issue after getting past the original problem, but can't seem to repro it locally, only when running it on aws, so that's progress atleast...

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/nodejavabridge_bindings/src/utils.o
../src/utils.cpp:488:16: error: no member named 'GetBackingStore' in 'v8::ArrayBuffer'
    memcpy(ab->GetBackingStore()->Data(), elems, length);
           ~~  ^

[danielwsutton]

The above issue with no member named 'GetBackingStore' was resolved by using node 14.8.0

It seems like when you switch to a new version of Java, it forces you into a newer version of Node as well.

I am having the same issue on macOS with JDK11:

• macOS 11.4
• node v14.8.0
• AdoptOpenJDK build 11.0.10+9 (installed using sdkman JAVA_HOME=/Users/<myuser>/.sdkman/candidates/java/current)

2 issues, and workaround:

1. on first npm i java:

/Users/<myuser>/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/include/jni.h:45:10: fatal error: 'jni_md.h' file not found`

Workaround: cp ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/include/darwin/jni_md.h ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/include/jni_md.h

2. after applying workaround#1, the pkg is installed, and when running (any script that loads java):

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _JNI_CreateJavaVM
  Referenced from: /path/to/my/project/node_modules/java/build/Release/nodejavabridge_bindings.node
  Expected in: flat namespace

Workaround (suggested here): DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=${JAVA_HOME}/lib/server/libjvm.dylib node somescript.js

Is there a solution that can be applied to this lib without having to run these workarounds?

[fercook]

I got tired of trying all these suggestions and copied libjli.dylib (currently in /Library/Java//JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/libjli.dylib) into the path that npm wants it, /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-17.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/jli
