realm-js: Installing realm 3.1.0 fails during node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

I’ve tried installing this on Windows, Ubuntu and MacOS. All fail with the same error.

$ npm install

> realm@3.1.0 install C:\Workspaces\ThreadLearning\thread-rest\node_modules\realm
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Node v12 is not supported by Realm v3.x as mentioned here: https://github.com/realm/realm-js/issues/2880#issuecomment-628665377

As @markwolff mentioned in mapbox/node-pre-gyp/issues/477

not ideal but a workaround is to manually add "node-pre-gyp": "0.12.0" as a devDev to your package.json

worked for me

for those who are still suffering from this, I solved this by downgrade my Node.js version to v10.18.0. As suggested by @andrekovac , Realm v3.x doesn’t support node12

Which version of node you are using?

In previouse realmjs version node 12 didn’t worked for me. Downgrade to node 10 fixed the issue for me.

This happens reliably with latest yarn with nodejs v12.6.0 and realm version 2.29.2:

First, 404s:

This should be fixed now as long as your package-lock.json does not try to install minipass@2.8.4: see https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/issues/477#issuecomment-534630617

Looks like there was some dependency change that broke node-pre-gyp https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/issues/477
