Additional context: I guess 0.5.1 -> 1.0.0 is a breaking change after all

[milindl]

Thanks for filing this.

I think I know the issue. For node v23, they've made C++20 mandatory for addons, and we updated our toolchain to compile with that standard. We do compile the prebuilt binaries statically to avoid these issues, but glibc is still always dynamically linked because of how it is.

At least for now, I don't see an easy workaround (besides using bookworm rather than bullseye, which I'm guessing isn't a simple change, or updating the libc version within docker, which is also challenging).

For the next release, I'll see what I can do about this. Maybe revert the <22 node versions compilation to our older toolchain.

I'm having the exact issue with node:18.20.4-alpine image.

[milindl]

@fadi-quader-mox , this issue shouldn't come for the alpine image since the build process for that isn't changed (and they don't use glibc). For me I get this:

$ docker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/sh node:18.20.4-alpine
/ # mkdir app
/ # cd app
/app # npm init -y
Wrote to /app/package.json:

{
  "name": "app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",

    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },

Could you attach your logs for the alpine case?

[fadi-quader-mox]

@milindl I use circleci cimg/node:18.20.4 image to install dependancies and build the app. Then, i build a docker image from this docker file with everything installed.

It seems the circleci node image uses glibc as its standard C library while alpine uses something else.

FROM node:18.20.4-alpine
WORKDIR /code

ENV NODE_PORT 8080
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT [ "yarn", "start" ]

so running that image on the Kubernetes cluster fails with this error

[milindl]

@fadi-quader-mox , this is a different issue, please see #48 . TL;DR, the binary of the wrong architecture/libc/OS gets copied into the docker container.

To prevent this, in the Dockerfile, delete node_modules/@confluentinc/kafka-javascript and run npm install (or the yarn equivalent) while after this deletion, it'll fetch the right binary.

[mattfiocca]

I had this exact error building on a clean node:18.14.0 docker image, any variant. I just tried bumping to node:23-alpine3.20 and am not seeing this load error anymore.

[milindl]

@mattfiocca , 18.14.0 is based on bullseye as well, so for 1.0.0, it'll give the same issue. If you use something like 18.19.0 (based on bookworm), it should work.

However, we do plan to fix this.
