I'm trying to install this package but I'm getting errors.

node version: 10.11.0
npm version: 6.4.1

npm install node-jt400 --save

So I installed python2 and now I'm getting a different error.

npm i --save node-jt400

java@0.9.1 install C:\Users\jmiles\code\nodeJS\as400Test\node_modules\java
node-gyp rebuild

You need to ensure you have ms build tools installed, python 2.7, and your java path correct.

Cody W. Geisler · Answer 3 · Thu Oct 04 2018 22:46:01 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

FYI I have successfully built this on Node.js 10, so it is not an issue with this package.

Jacob Miles · Answer 4 · Thu Oct 04 2018 23:56:18 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It would be nice to document what external tools are required, such as Java, Python 2, MS Build Tools....

Cody W. Geisler · Answer 5 · Fri Oct 05 2018 00:00:50 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

That's not really relevant for this package, it's kind of assumed for node_gyp in windows node.js development, unfortunately.

Jacob Miles · Answer 6 · Fri Oct 05 2018 00:33:27 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

OK, I guess I will have to find a different package to use. As I have Java, Python2.7, and MS Build Tools installed. Now MSBuild is failing saying I need to install .NET Framework 2.0 SDK which wont install on my Windows PC laptop.

Jacob Miles · Answer 7 · Fri Oct 05 2018 00:53:14 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It works fine on Linux, but unable to get it to install on my Windows 10 PC.
Do you know if this will work running on an IBM i AS/400 running Node version 6? As this is the platform I'm actually targeting, I can work around the 'Not working on Windows' thing for now.

Cody W. Geisler · Answer 8 · Fri Oct 05 2018 01:12:19 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Install the latest (2017, 2018?) build tools, it should be fine.

Cody W. Geisler · Answer 9 · Fri Oct 05 2018 01:14:51 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

When I made one update to this package (that was accepted by the package maintainers) I updated the requirement of node to 8. You can use an older version of the package that should work on Node v6, but I am really unsure if the build process on an IBM i will work (for the installation of the java package.). I use a windows server that runs this package to communicate with the IBM i system.

(As a first step I would simply test if you can get a node.js app running with java@0.9.1 on your IBM i system)

Jacob Miles · Answer 10 · Fri Oct 05 2018 01:55:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

OK, I was able to finally get it to install on my Windows PC by installing all of Visual Studio IDE. Just installing the MSBuild Tools didn't work.

Hi @milesje

Glad to hear that this finally worked for you.

Without having looked too much into this issue, the most common reason this module fails on windows is because of the node-java module. Check out: https://github.com/joeferner/node-java#installation-windows

This module is basically mapping functions from the ibm toolbox for jt400 java code using the node-java library. If you can get that up and running on your windows machine, then this module should work.

You can see some examples here: #13

Jacob Miles · Answer 12 · Sat Oct 06 2018 06:41:08 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

The issue wasn't with node-java, the issue was with gyp as it couldn't find the C++ binaries needed for MSBuild Tools. To fix my issue I had to install Visual Studio Community Edition which also installed all of the needed MSBuild Tools.
