[react-swc] Bindings not found error

[jjtfsalgado]

Hey there

If you have this problem, you probably ran into is npm/cli#4828. The bug happens when npm generates the lockfile with an existing node_modules that contains platform-specific dependencies.

Two solutions:

• Regenerate the lockfile from scratch rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json && npm i
• Force install the optional dependencies of SWC:

npm install --force --save-optional \
        @swc/core \
        @swc/core-darwin-arm64 \
        @swc/core-darwin-x64 \
        @swc/core-linux-arm-gnueabihf \
        @swc/core-linux-arm64-gnu \
        @swc/core-linux-arm64-musl \
        @swc/core-linux-x64-gnu \
        @swc/core-linux-x64-musl \
        @swc/core-win32-arm64-msvc \
        @swc/core-win32-ia32-msvc \
        @swc/core-win32-x64-msvc

Running vite we occasionally come across with this error. The way we found to overcome this was to remove node_modules and reinstall it. Do you guys have any ideas what is causing this?

Hi!

I can't repro for now. Do you have any more info on when this happening?

This mostly like an install issue or an issue with SWC directly. What OS are you using?

[jiovanmichel]

Hello,
I have the same problem using
debian 10
typescript ^5.0.2
vite ^4.1.0

The problem it happens when run vite build or server.
The solution for me we has remove node_modules and install with yarn.

• yarn install
• yarn run dev (server vite)

[ArnaudBarre]

Did this happen after an update of SWC?

[jiovanmichel]

This happend after update typescript, the version @vitejs/plugin-react-swc is "^3.0.0"

[ArnaudBarre]

That's strange I don't see any related issues on the SWC repo.
Did the issue reappear even after a clean install?

I had a project
vite + react + typescript

I just updated the typescript to version 5

Hey @ArnaudBarre.
To follow up on @jjtfsalgado, here is the machine specs:

OS: Microsoft 11
IDE: WebStorm 2022.3.2
VITE: 4.1.1
TS: 4.8.4

[ArnaudBarre]

@SANTOrick so you got the error without TS 5?

Can people that have the issue also share their OS, node version and SWC installed version?

[skowrons]

OS: macOS Ventura 13.2 (Intel)
VITE: 4.2.1
TS: 4.9.3
PLUGIN-REACT-SWC: 3.2.0
NODE: 16.17.0

I got the same error. We have fixed the problem with running this command:

npm i -D @swc/cli @swc/core

In the end just installing swc as described here: https://swc.rs/docs/getting-started

[ArnaudBarre]

What was the SWC version before and after re-intalling @swc/core?

[TeoSean00]

The newly installed version of @swc/core that addresses this bug for me is "@swc/core": "^1.3.46", I did not have a before version prior to this, hope this helps!

[proddy]

Probably unrelated but after updating I'm seeing
@vitejs/plugin-react-swc@npm:3.2.0 [f1d40] doesn't provide @swc/helpers (p84c25), requested by @swc/core

vite 4.2.1, swc/core 1.3.46, plugin-react-swc 3.2.0, OSX

Reinstalled but not working

[skowrons]

@ArnaudBarre here the previous and current versions after my command.

Before:
@swc/core = 1.3.41 (indirect dependency, we did not install it directly prior to this "fix")
@swc/cli is not currently installed

After:
@swc/core = 1.3.49
@swc/cli is not needed to fix the problem and can be ignored in the install command
