Ghost binary dependencies cause installation issues #29
Description
When trying to install the package on some platform/arch the process quit unexpectedly with a "Package not found" error (See #9). It seems NPM or Yarn try to fetch binary sub-dependencies that don't exist.
Officially, the webviewjs package supports 7 targets :
- x86_64-apple-darwin
- x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
- i686-pc-windows-msvc
- aarch64-apple-darwin
- aarch64-linux-android
- armv7-linux-androideabi
- aarch64-pc-windows-msvc
But the package NAPI config list 5 more :
- x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
- i686-unknown-linux-gnu
- aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
- armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
- x86_64-unknown-freebsd
The published package package.json list 9 targets and their corresponding optional dependencies :
| Target | Package | Available |
|---|---|---|
| x86_64-pc-windows-msvc | @webviewjs/webview-win32-x64-msvc | ✅ |
| i686-pc-windows-msvc | @webviewjs/webview-win32-ia32-msvc | ✅ |
| aarch64-pc-windows-msvc | @webviewjs/webview-win32-arm64-msvc | ✅ |
| x86_64-apple-darwin | @webviewjs/webview-darwin-x64 | ✅ |
| aarch64-apple-darwin | @webviewjs/webview-darwin-arm64 | ✅ |
| x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu | @webviewjs/webview-linux-x64-gnu | ❌ |
| aarch64-linux-android | @webviewjs/webview-android-arm64 | ✅ |
| armv7-linux-androideabi | @webviewjs/webview-android-arm-eabi | ✅ |
| x86_64-unknown-freebsd | @webviewjs/webview-freebsd-x64 | ❌ |
However, two of these binary dependencies don't exists and cause installation issues.
Tested with Yarn 4.12 and NPM 11.7 (Node 22.21 on MacOs 11.6)
