npm install oracledb fails on build machines with restricted network access.

[andersjanmyr]

Installation fails when I'm trying to build on a build machine with restricted network access.
I don't know if this is the problem, but the connect ETIMEDOUT 104.20.22.46:443 in the log looks suspicious.

When I build on OSX or in a docker container on my local machine it works fine. I have tested with both Ubuntu and CentOS.

Any help would be appreciated.

1. What is your version of Node.js? Run examples/version.js to find versions.
   node -v v6.11.0

2. What version of node-oracledb are you using?
   [email protected]

3. What is the version of your Oracle client (e.g. Instant Client)? How was it installed? Where it is installed?
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /jenkins/workspace/sams-sng-orchestration/tmp/instantclient_12_2_linux
   OCI_INC_DIR: /jenkins/workspace/sams-sng-orchestration/tmp/instantclient_12_2_linux/sdk/include

4. What is the version of Oracle Database?
   None yet.

5. What is your OS and version?

• cat /proc/version
  21:36:09 Linux version 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11) (GCC) ) Make node-oracledb installable via standard 'npm' install #1 SMP Fri Mar 3 00:04:05 UTC 2017

6. What compiler version did you use? For example, with GCC, run gcc --version

• gcc --version
  gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)

7. What environment variables did you set? How exactly did you set them?
   export OCI_LIB_DIR=$tmp_dir/instantclient_12_2_linux
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$tmp_dir/instantclient_12_2_linux
   export OCI_INC_DIR=$OCI_LIB_DIR/sdk/include

8. What exact command caused the problem (e.g. what command did you try to install with)? Who were you logged in as?
   Default build user with correct permissions.

Yes connect ETIMEDOUT 104.20.22.46:443 will be a site issue that you need to resolve. How restricted are you? Have you set http_proxy (and/or https_proxy that npm 5 seems to need). Alternatively build on a less restrictive machine and copy the node_modules/oracledb dir over.

[andersjanmyr]

@cjbj Thanks for the reply, but why does it need to go outside the machine to build the driver? Does it download something? If it does, can I add it manually?

[cjbj]

@andersjanmyr for a start, node-oracledb has a dependency on NAN. Npm may do other book keeping, such as checking versions. You could strace or netstat or whatever to see what it is doing?

[telkomops]

set http_proxy=http://uname:password@proxy:proxyport should resolve the issue

[andersjanmyr]

@telkomops Thanks for trying, but this doesn't work. There is no access allowed outside to untrusted servers. The only access allowed is our local npm repository.

[sagiegurari]

does that local npm registry machine has access to web? can it proxy those calls?

[cjbj]

I'm going to close this - you'll need to work out your own network limitations and download and compile somehow that suits your configuration. Note the recent update in #18: binaries will probably be on GitHub.

[andersjanmyr]

Sure, I'm fine with that. I solved it by installing it on a similar machine and copying the files before npm installing.

[cjbj]

That seems logical.
