When i manually install npm serialport 6.0.5. it will build and install on the Rpi3 on Resin.io. But due to the dependency in the 2 nodes mentioned before it will try to install 6.1.0 also after 6.0.5 is installed.

Steps and Code to Reproduce the Issue

Install node-red-node-serialport and/or node-red-contrib-modbus on Rpi3 with Resin.io docker file:

# base-image for node on any machine using a template variable,
# see more about dockerfile templates here:http://docs.resin.io/pages/deployment/docker-templates
# Note the node:slim image doesn't have node-gyp
FROM resin/%%RESIN_MACHINE_NAME%%-alpine-node:9-slim

### Defines our working directory in container
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app/
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

### This will copy all files in our root to the working  directory in the container
COPY ./app ./

### Install node modules, including i2c-bus without carrying all the deps in the layers
RUN apk add --no-cache make gcc g++ python && \
  JOBS=MAX npm install -g node-red node-red-contrib-resinio --production --silent && \
  JOBS=MAX npm install -g node-red-contrib-modbus --production --silent && \
  JOBS=MAX npm install -g node-red-node-serialport --production --silent && \
  apk del make gcc g++ python && \
  npm cache clean --force && rm -rf /tmp/*

### server.js will run when container starts up on the device
CMD ["bash", "/usr/src/app/start.sh"]

I am seeing similar issues with node-red-contrib-modbus. I am using alpine slim with node v8.9.4

[chrismoorhouse]

This is a copy of #1487 which has been fixed but not yet made a release
This issue can be closed

[rjbaat]

Oke thnx.
Is there an estimation when the fix will be released?

[piechade]

Why you are using the pre-release version?

[chrismoorhouse]

@piechade it is included in a Node-RED library by someone else. We did not choose the version

[reconbot]

Serialport 6.1.1 is out which should fix this. I see node-red has 6.0.5 as it's version, I have no idea why 6.1.0 would have installed.

[reconbot]

Do let me know if this works for you.

[rjbaat]

The developer of the Node Red module had 6.1.0 included. I asked him to downgrade to the stable version of 6.0.5 and that works. So i hope the node red module is staying on stable release from now on and then it should work fine.

[reconbot]

Ask them to upgrade to 6.1.1 it should work better. Feel free to cc me, I had asked them to test 6.1.0 I I didn't know they'd release it. 🙊
