I'd try to install the IJavscript kernelspec using full paths, like this: ijsinstall --spec-path=full

Jun 30 '21 00:06 n-riesco

I'm having the exact same issue. This is the first time I've tried to set up and use IJavascript, and Jupyter in general. Jupyter is working fine with a python 3.9 kernel and python code, in VS Code.

I tried using the above command ijsinstall --spec-path=full but saw no change in behavior. It's unclear if the command did anything — is there a way I can check what it changed?

For debugging this I also tried opening up the zeromq folder at /Users/phoenix/.nvm/versions/node/v14.17.1/lib/node_modules/ijavascript/node_modules/zeromq and running the command its README suggested for rebuilding it for the version of electron that VS Code uses: npm rebuild zeromq --runtime=electron --target=12.0.7, but this didn't do anything noticeable (I'm not sure if it had any effect at all).

I'm running macOS 11.4, using an apple m1 chip. This might be related; not sure. The errors all say they're trying to use the x64 build, which should work fine with rosetta 2, but it's possible somewhere the wires are getting crossed for what it considers a 'native' build?

Looks like zeromq has node.abi83.node but not electron.abi83.node, which is what it was looking for. Seeing if I can find a way to make it build that version...

Jul 07 '21 17:07 phoenixeliot

Alright, I'm not sure why this worked, since it seems to be bypassing the node-gyp-build/index.js file I was debugging entirely (the one that was throwing the error), but this solved it:

nvm use 14.17.1 # this was the version I started with, including for verbosity
npm uninstall -g ijavascript
nvm install 16.3.0 # the minor version of v16 I happened to already have, included for verbosity. Other v16 versions may work too.
nvm use 16.3.0
npm install -g ijavascript
ijsinstall --spec-path=full

Bafflingly, this works even if I remove the zeromq/prebuilds directory entirely, so I'm not sure what it's using instead with node v16.3, but it apparently doesn't need those electron.abi83.node etc files like node v14 was trying to use.

Jul 07 '21 18:07 phoenixeliot

One can run jupyter kernelspec list --json, to see the difference between ijsinstall --spec-path=full and ijsinstall --spec-path=none.

Jul 07 '21 22:07 n-riesco

zeromq has recently changed they way it builds and distributes binaries. Unfortunately, this means that the binaries fail for distributions such as Debian 10. Anyone affected by these incompatible binaries, please try and force building zeromq from source by running:

$ npm_config_zmq_external=true npm install -g ijavascript

Jul 07 '21 22:07 n-riesco

@phoenixeliot The paths in the error logs should give us a clue, whether ijsinstall --spec-path=full is working or not.

ijsinstall --spec-path=full should install a kernelspec with a full path to node (no need to install ijavascript in vscode).

Jul 07 '21 22:07 n-riesco

Just to add some debugging data, after switching to node v16, I found that VS Code failed to run the notebook (an ENOENT error, with VS Code forever visually trying to connect to the kernel, different from the original error in this issue) if I use the --spec-path=none option, but works if I use the --spec-path=full option. I may have just recorded my commands wrong when typing my above message; I'll update it to reflect that.

Jul 08 '21 21:07 phoenixeliot

That's expected. Every time the node versions is changed, new binaries for zeromq are required.

if --spec-path=full is used, the kernelspec will include the full path to node and ijavascript (e.g. /path/to/node path/to/ijskernel.js). If /path/to/node is different for each node version used in your machine, then --spec-path=full will save you reinstalling ijavascript.

If --spec-path=none is used, then the kernelspec invokes ijskernel using the current version of node. If the version of node changes, the npm uninstall -g ijavascript followed by npm install -g ijavascript is required to pick up the binaries for the current node version.

Jul 08 '21 22:07 n-riesco

Alright, I'm not sure why this worked, since it seems to be bypassing the node-gyp-build/index.js file I was debugging entirely (the one that was throwing the error), but this solved it:
nvm use 14.17.1 # this was the version I started with, including for verbosity

ijsinstall --spec-path=full

I can confirm upgrading node to 16 (in my case v16.6.2) works.

I've also tried npm_config_zmq_external=true npm install -g ijavascript && ijsinstall --spec-path=full as mentioned by @n-riesco but that doesn't seem to work for me.

switch to dependencies /node_modules/zeromq folder then run. npm run build:libzmq rebuild libzmq binaries

Nov 17 '21 02:11 tagore-cai

posting my experience in case it helps anyone else

I have ijs installed into a jupyterlab instance with node=16.12.0 & npm=8.1.0 installed via conda (thus, no nvm). This was my initial error:

Error: No native build was found for platform=linux arch=x64 runtime=node abi=93 uv=1 libc=glibc node=16.12.0

Changing node versions wasn't possible as indicated above. Reinstalling ijs with zmq_external flag à la npm_config_zmq_external=true npm install -g ijavascript && ijsinstall --spec-path=full did not help either.

However,

switch to dependencies /node_modules/zeromq folder then run. npm run build:libzmq rebuild libzmq binaries

did work. But it was a bit tricky because I, apparently, have 3 locations that needed to be rebuilt. I'm really not familiar with npm and I was recklessly throwing commands at shell so it's my own fault.

This is the gist of my resolution:

# uninstall ijs just to be safe
npm uninstall -g ijavascript
# reinstall ijs
npm install -g ijavascript

# rebuild zeromq; first directory
cd ~/lib/node_modules/ijavascript/node_modules/zeromq/
npm run build:libzmq

# second directory (must have tried installing locally at one point)
cd ~/.local/lib/node_modules/ijavascript/node_modules/zeromq/

As it turns out, there's another location where ijavascript was getting installed.

# third directory
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ijavascript/node_modules/zeromq/
npm run build:libzmq
ijsinstall --spec-path=full

After which, it finally worked.

@kingscolour Thank you for reporting your experience.

My understanding is that if npm config set prefix $HOME has been set, then npm install -g ijavascript installs ijavascript into ~/lib/node_modules/ijavascript.

In your case, it looks like the ijavascript you are currently running was installed in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ijavascript/. Running which ijsinstall can help you confirm this.

switch to dependencies /node_modules/zeromq folder then run. npm run build:libzmq rebuild libzmq binaries

I encountered the same problem and the following solution works for me: my env:

platform: win 11 x64
visual studio: 2022 community
node : v14.16.1
npm: 6.14.12
yarn: 1.22.10

solution:

install "Desktop development with C++" using the visual studio installer
as @tagore-cai answer's i navigated to "zeromq" in my case it was under "C:\Users\MyUserAccount\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ijavascript\node_modules\zeromq"
run 'node-gyp build --msvs_version=2022' from ur terminal "make sure to run this command on the right path"

and finally, it works just fine for me

in my case it was a node version issue. i was on v16 so i stepped down to 14 and the error went away

error: No native build was found for runtime=node abi=93 platform=darwinglibc arch=arm64

fix: nvm use 14

Oddly, I resolved the issue by opening terminal and executing jupyter notebook in the environment prior to opening the intended notebook in VSCode.

Background:

The new M1 is freshly installed with VSCode for Apple Silicon.

Launched a TensorFlow model in a VScode Jupyter extension. VScode worked well allowing me to debug user code and follow framework parameters. This pattern lasted for a few days on a new M1 Macbook Pro.

I then rebooted after installing unrelated software. I forgot the importance of executing the jupyter notebook. After 4 hours of the above errors, the kernel crashing on longer runs, reinstalling packages with conda/mamba etc, it dawned on me to execute this command.

Viola, running 8-10 hour training runs once again.

If this is helpful, worth a try. VScode launches in a clean state without errors.

In my case, he works fine on the web side, and "can't boot the kernel" in vscode. After I ran "npm run build:libzmq", he worked in VSCODE too. I use ArchLinux

worked for me as well

posting my experience in case it helps anyone else

I have ijs installed into a jupyterlab instance with node=16.12.0 & npm=8.1.0 installed via conda (thus, no nvm). This was my initial error:
Error: No native build was found for platform=linux arch=x64 runtime=node abi=93 uv=1 libc=glibc node=16.12.0
Changing node versions wasn't possible as indicated above. Reinstalling ijs with zmq_external flag à la npm_config_zmq_external=true npm install -g ijavascript && ijsinstall --spec-path=full did not help either.

However,

switch to dependencies /node_modules/zeromq folder then run. npm run build:libzmq rebuild libzmq binaries

did work. But it was a bit tricky because I, apparently, have 3 locations that needed to be rebuilt. I'm really not familiar with npm and I was recklessly throwing commands at shell so it's my own fault.

This is the gist of my resolution:
# uninstall ijs just to be safe
npm uninstall -g ijavascript
# reinstall ijs
npm install -g ijavascript

# rebuild zeromq; first directory
cd ~/lib/node_modules/ijavascript/node_modules/zeromq/
npm run build:libzmq

# second directory (must have tried installing locally at one point)
cd ~/.local/lib/node_modules/ijavascript/node_modules/zeromq/
npm run build:libzmq
ijsinstall --spec-path=full

I have the same problem and wasted a lot of time trying to get anywhere. I was close I guess but then when doing $ node-gyp build I faced

[...]
gyp info spawn args ]
Building the projects in this solution one at a time. To enable parallel build, please add the "/m" switch.
  prepare-build
TRACKER : error TRK0005: Failed to locate: "CL.exe".
[...]

and another box of issues with MSVS appeared.

So I just went to the original error, opened ijavascript/node_modules/node-gyp-build/index.js:59 and edited line 11 with

//before
var runtime = isElectron() ? 'electron' : (isNwjs() ? 'node-webkit' : 'node')
//after
var runtime = isElectron() ? 'node' : (isNwjs() ? 'node-webkit' : 'node')

because I saw that node.abi108.node was there anyway:

TLDR: and the whole fix boiled down to that single string (electron -> node) and now my node kernel works.

Thanks a lot! Have no idea how it works but it did the trick. 🤣

Not sure if related to this same issue or not.

OS: WIn 10 x64

Using mamba install nodejs -c conda-forge & then npm install -g ijavascript

It works properly for node v18 but not for node v20

p.s. Didn't test any of the above mentioned build processes as I don't have the bandwidth to install & configure MSVS.

Node repo information:

  - nodejs  18.17.1  h57928b3_0  conda-forge     Cached

pyzmq                         25.1.1

The solution for me was tagore-cai's recommendation: https://github.com/n-riesco/ijavascript/issues/243#issuecomment-971120145

switch to dependencies /node_modules/zeromq folder then run. npm run build:libzmq rebuild libzmq binaries

I'm in Linux mint with node 18.17.0, python 3.10.12, pnpm 7.30.5 (I use pnpm instead of npm in my machine), and I located the "zeromq" folder by running first: jupyter kernelspec list --json | grep ijavascript. This gave me the path /home/carlos/.local/share/pnpm/global/5/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/ijavascript/lib/kernel.js, so I went to /home/carlos/.local/share/pnpm/global/5/.pnpm/, then searched for the zeromq folder, and ended up in cd /home/carlos/.local/share/pnpm/global/5/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/zeromq. In this folder I ran pnpm run build:libzmq. After doing this, the kernel finally worked inside vscode.
