[Alpine] Distribution Support

[omer-bar]

• NodeJS: 14.6.0
• mongodb-memory-server-*: 6.6.6
• mongodb: 0.0.0
• mongoose: 5.9.28
• system: docker:alpine (host: Windows 10)

package: mongo-memory-server

What is the Problem?

So when ever i try to install mongodb-memory-server on my Windows 10 machine i get this error:

mongodb-memory-server: checking MongoDB binaries cache...
failed to download/install MongoDB binaries. The error: Error: Status Code is 403 (MongoDB's 404)
This means that the requested version-platform combination doesn't exist

The mongo instance is dockerized(using node:alpine) but even just a simple install doesnt work.
the project is a microservice site and another service is already working just fine with mongodb-memory-server in version 6.6.4
so i tried to install 6.6.4 thinking the cause is probably a bad version but even 6.6.4 which works perfectly good for the other service doesnt work on this service for some reason and still gives the same error on npm install.

Code Example

Do you know why it happenes?

have no idea since the other service works just fine with 6.6.4 version.

from my knowledge, there still isnt an alpine version of mongodb, so you need to either configure an version that works with that alpine, or provide your own file

Thanks for the fast reply,
the problem also happens on windows not just in the container, and its weird since i have a working service for 'user Auth' working in kubernetes&docker that uses mongodb-memory-server perfectly good, its also an alpine distro.

did you already check these:

• did you run docker locally with file passthrough?
• did you check that nothing from host's node_modules (especially .cache) is included in your container?

and could you provide debug output? *should be tried inside code, you can skip the postInstall-download with disablePostinstall

i just opened a new folder called test, ran npm init -y, ran npm install mongodb-memory-server and got the same error:

mongodb-memory-server@6.6.7 postinstall D:\Microservices Projects\test\node_modules\mongodb-memory-server
node ./postinstall.js

it has nothing to do with docker. its a windows problem not a docker problem.

this error means the requested version (combined from wanted mongodb version, system and some extra options) does not exist, so please provide the debug log for us to investigate what url got generated and what it should have been

[joriente]

Same thing happened to me. In windows, I went back to v6.2.1 and that worked

[mbparker]

Same problem on Windows 10. I can't get any version of this package to download the mongod binaries.

[hasezoey]

could someone provide debug output to know what got generated? https://github.com/nodkz/mongodb-memory-server#enable-debug-mode

[mick352]

Same error message, hopefully this debug output helps:

This happened on Debian Buster.

@mick352 thanks to this log, it is easy for your problem, you are running debian10 (buster), and try to download version 4.0.14 (default), while there is no debian10 image below 4.1 or 4.2 (i cant remember)

(your problem because this issue is about windows 10, and debian10 is already known (other issues))

I just downloaded a copy of 4.2.9, disabled postInstall, and pointed the config to my downloaded mongod.exe, which avoids this whole mess. It works fine after cutting out the failing automatic download attempt.
