New hana-client error whilst installing inside docker

Question about Hana-client inside Docker

You’re suggesting switching to @sap/hana-client, so I switched to that lib.

Packages installation is perfectly working on my computer with npm config set @sap:registry https://npm.sap.com

However inside a docker container I have the following Fatal error occuring during install : Failed to load DBCAPI. during node checkbuild.js

Full Stack trace :

Maybe docker container is missing some rights or some configuration that my computer has ?

I am a little new to this and I did not find any solution online. Since new repository is private, I am trying to search some solution here.

Thank you for reading this issue.

Is there a repo URL for @sap/hana-client? Issues for it should be reported there (I would like to report one too, but I don’t know where - typical @SAP 😆)

No, thank You! Your comment prompted my to try something else: moved from node alpine to node slim. Worked a charm! Turns out you don’t need the python lib!
