Сannot find module node-v11-linux-x64/zopfli.node (irregular)

[tormozz48]

Hello I have some irregular issue on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise: This error occurs while calling zopfli command for example:

$ find pages-* -name '_search.less.css' -o -name '_search.ru.js' | xargs zopfli -i 15

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^

When you say 'irregular', you mean you have it randomly ?

What's your nodejs version ? (/usr/bin/env/node -v)

[tormozz48]

What's your nodejs version

v0.10.40

Yes, we have service with a number of hosts where node-zopfli installed. Sometimes this error occurs and break the build process

[pierreinglebert]

So we can assume that the file sometimes disappears (atm I don't think this is related to this module in particular) Is it a shared resource ? Is there any process that could rebuild the app at some time ? (npm i or npm rebuild)

@pierreinglebert The irregularity is not on the same machine.

We install node-zopfli in a CI environment on different build agents. And sometimes after npm install we see such an error. It could be a problem in the build logic of the node bindings.

same issue here on Ubuntu trusty (local and CI)

node: 4.5.0
node-zopfli: ^2.0.0
yarn: 0.17.8

Any hint?

EDIT

$ ls node_modules/node-zopfli/lib/binding
node-v42-darwin-x64  node-v45-darwin-x64  node-v46-darwin-x64  node-v48-darwin-x64

We could reproduce this consistently on travis on linux containers
