Can you try running this inside of xray_electron instead of xray_node?

I am inside of xray_electron when I execute npm install and npm start

Sorry, of course. I misread a path in the beginning of your error message as your working directory. My bad. Let me look at this...

I used nvm to install the specified version of node and if I clear out the node_modules directory then execute npm install it will install the node modules then start building the Rust code and then it fails with the extern crate napi; error. Thank you for looking into this, I am very curious to play around with Xray, I have been doing research on CRDT's and collaborative editing recently for a project at work.

xray_node contains a Cargo.toml file which refers to napi in the sibling folder via a relative symbolic link. Cargo should be resolving extern crate napi based on the path specified. "It works on my machine?" 🤷‍♂️

Okay, troubleshooting a bit, what if you run npm run build inside of xray_node. Same issue? Can you build napi/test_module via npm run build?

When I do both of those suggestions I get the same issue. I agree the Cargo.toml file looks correct and it should be picking it up, but for some reason its not, very weird.

I have the same issue as @JonnyWalker81 but I as was able to build

Can you build napi/test_module via npm run build?

macOS versions? Cargo versions? In absence of my ability to reproduce this is tricky.

cargo 0.25.0 (96d8071da 2018-02-26)
macOS: version 10.12.6 (16G29)
node: v8.9.3
rustc: 1.24.1 (also tried with current nightly and beta)

I'm on macOS 10.13.2, but that does seem to be an unlikely culprit.

I tried it on my other computer as well which has 10.13 and had the same issue.

Even more strange is that xray_code is referenced in the same way and that seems to build and be referenced correctly. I moved the lines in src/lib.rs to have extern crate xray_core; first and that seems to build and still have the napi crate fail (not a very scientific experiment but figured I would see if it changed anything).

I just updated npm to version 5.7.1 (I was on 5.5.1), when I did npm i npm I got upgraded to version 5.7.1, hopefully that is not an issue.

Thanks for hammering on this. I'm really sorry this is such a pain. Anything else I can try for you?

Can you remove your node_modules folder (inside of xray_electron) and then do npm install --verbose and send me the log. I can see if its going down a different path or something.

Sorry for the delay. Ran the build and then got distracted by something else. Hope this gives some clue.

I am having the same issues on my end. Specs are as follows:
macOS: version 10.13.1
cargo 0.23.0-nightly (e447ac7e9 2017-09-27)
node: v9.7.1
rustc 1.22.0-nightly (f1b5225e8 2017-10-01)

Error output is the same as above. I tried different versions as well.

same error here:

I’m also unable to build. Is there a GUI for this yet? I know it is early, but I figured no harm in asking. I mainly wanted to build it to see what it looked like currently. Anyone have an screenshots if so?

I am able to build on my macOS. I am seeing code on the screen but not able to edit anything.
Versions for all are given below.

 = cargo --version
cargo 0.25.0 (8c93e0895 2018-02-01)

 = npm --version
5.7.1

I was also able to build successfully on macOS (10.13.3) with these versions:

> cargo --version
cargo 0.26.0-beta (41480f5cc 2018-02-26)
> npm --version
5.6.0
> node --version
v8.9.4

I also tried npm run build in 'xray_node' and it compiled successfully again.

I just did a pull and am able to build now, not sure exactly what changed to make it be able to build now. Hopefully, others can also build with the latest changes.

Still no luck building. Perhaps I am missing something? I am inside of xray_electron, but npm install always returns an error saying:
error: unexpected close delimiter: ]

error: Could not compile napi.

I'm going to close this out because we're going to make a pretty big shift in our architecture that will probably change the build situation. I'll be writing about it today or Monday. If after that change (some time next week) there are new issues building, feel free to reopen. Thanks again for your interest.
