Module installation fails on Mac (macOS 10.13.4) after upgrade to node v10.0.0 and npm v6.0.0

Manipulations with PATH (as mentioned in #2) do not help

Changing

Local<Value> propertyValue = object->GetRealNamedProperty(propertyName->ToString());

to

Local<Value> propertyValue = Nan::GetRealNamedProperty(object->ToObject(), propertyName->ToString()).ToLocalChecked();

in src/XpcConnection.cpp helped, but not sure if this is actually the right way to fix that

Hey I am also facing the same issue... have you tried to degrade the node version back to 9 or 8?

[endquote]

Downgrading node seems to work.

brew install node@8
brew link --overwrite --force node@8
npm install xpc-connection

(There's no node@9 in homebrew for some reason)

[ankit2002]

Thanks it doesn't work with node@8 but somehow I managed to get it with node@6..

Got the same error with node 10.0.0/ macOS 10.13.4

@mailgpa how did you build xpc-connection after changing line 143 in src/XpcConnection.cpp?

[mailgpa]

git clone https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-xpc-connection.git
cd node-xpc-connection
vi src/XpcConnection.cpp
npm i -g

[ceipi]

@mailgpa: Thank you.
I was able to get one step forward but got other errors.

[ceipi]

Solution used : installed node.js recommended version:
Latest LTS **Version: 8.11.**1 (includes npm 5.6.0)
It seems that version 10.0.0 is not yet compatible with xlc-connection

PR #26 upgraded to node 10

[IjzerenHein]

I can confirm that the pull request #26 by @taoyuan fixes the problem on Node 10.

To workaround the problem you can use this in your package.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "xpc-connection": "sandeepmistry/node-xpc-connection#26/head"
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "xpc-connection": "sandeepmistry/node-xpc-connection#26/head"
  }
}

[Mo0812]

For me a slightly modification of @IjzerenHein snippet work:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "xpc-connection": "sandeepmistry/node-xpc-connection#pull/26/head"
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "xpc-connection": "sandeepmistry/node-xpc-connection#pull/26/head"
  }
}
