Postinstall disabled, but still runs

Hello!

Thank you for this package!

I have a build environment which uses a docker image to build. Unfortunately I cannot use auto-download, baceuse corporate proxy and http-proxy-agent fails…

However, I can download the mongod binary with wget before installing the mongodb-memory-server package.

I downloded the package, decompressed, set +x, and exported the MONGOMS_SYSTEM_BINARY to the absolute path of the binary (/builds/company/project-core/node_modules/mongodb-binary/bin/mongod)

mongod --version prints the following:

db version v4.0.3
git version: 7ea530946fa7880364d88c8d8b6026bbc9ffa48c
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.1.0k  28 May 2019
allocator: tcmalloc
modules: none
build environment:
    distmod: debian92
    distarch: x86_64
    target_arch: x86_64

However the build fails with:

error /builds/company/project-core/node_modules/mongodb-memory-server: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node ./postinstall.js

}

Since MONGOMS_SYSTEM_BINARY is set, I would not expect that mongodb-memory-server wants to download in the postinstall step.

Could you help me what am I missing, please?

@sinashk78

setting MONGOMS_DISABLE_POSTINSTALL to 1 before creating an instance oo the MemoryServer and it didnt work

DISABLE_POSTINSTALL is to disable the npm hook postinstall, not the runtime one, i think for that you search for #355

And then we tried adding the config below and setting the binary “version”: “6.9.2”,

the VERSION config option is to set the mongod version to download, not the package version, for that you have the dependencies / devDependencies section

(and version of mongodb above 4.4 dosnt exist yet)

“systemBinary”: “mongod path”

in 6.9.x the systemBinary is checked if it exists and is an file and then used, otherwise an mongod file will be downloaded according to the other options

and while we’re trying to work things out on his machine everything was working on my end.

when you use the same config options for both systems (yours and your friends), then it is most likely that the SYSTEM_BINARY path just dosnt exists for your friend

until proven otherwise, i will close this as fixed by #405
