Doesn't work with Node.js v17.0.1

[n0bisuke]

$ ngrok http 3000
[1]    1301 killed     ngrok http 3000

Is there anyone with a similar phenomenon?

Here is a memo for myself.

We are also seeing this issue! It affects the entire command, even --version, but appears to only affect mac users.

On MacOS (tried both M1 and Intel systems):

~$ nvm use 17
Now using node v17.0.1 (npm v8.1.0)
~$ npx ngrok --version
[1]    54015 killed     npx ngrok --version

While on Linux (Ubuntu in this case), it still works:

~$ nvm use 17
Now using node v17.0.1 (npm v8.1.0)
~$ npx ngrok --version
ngrok version 2.3.35

I have narrowed this issue to decompress-zip on node v17.0.1:

import DecompressZip from 'decompress-zip'
import extract from 'extract-zip'
import path from 'path'

extract('ngrok.zip', { dir: path.resolve('~/ezip')}).then(_ => console.log('DONE'))

var unzipper = new DecompressZip('ngrok.zip')

unzipper.on('error', function (err) {
    console.log('Caught an error');
});

unzipper.on('extract', function (log) {
    console.log('Finished extracting');
});

unzipper.on('progress', function (fileIndex, fileCount) {
    console.log('Extracted file ' + (fileIndex + 1) + ' of ' + fileCount);
});

unzipper.extract();

The ngrok in ./ezip/ngrok works but the one extracted using decompress-zip fails.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for investigating @nsainaney and for raising the issue with decompress-zip.

Will wait to see what the decompress-zip project says. Though extract-zip does look like a useful replacement.

[nsainaney]

@philnash - just submitted a PR for this. Would appreciate it if it could get reviewed, merged, and published. Thank you

[nsainaney]

Between the PR and nodejs/node#40702, I have tested the package on Node 17 and everything seems to work now

[philnash]

Hey @nsainaney, sorry I haven't got to the PR yet. What is the relevance of nodejs/node#40702 to this though? I'm not sure I see a connection.

[nsainaney]

@philnash, we were using an axios based client that was initialized with http://localhost:4040/. You are not doing that so the nodejs issue is not relevant to your repo. You can disregard my comment. Sorry for any confusion.

[philnash]

Ha, ok. I'll get to the PR review later. Thanks!

[johnlindquist]

I just ran into this issue as well. Have you had a chance to look into the PR?

[KylChiang]

just try to download(https://ngrok.com/download) the M1 zip file and drop the ngrok.exec file into "/opt/homebrew/bin/", finally it works!

I have some issue on win10 and macos. I solved it with replacing bin files in node_modules with files from ngrok.com
i have lates node version

[Alynva]

I'm having the same issue. My bin/ngrok has this content:

stub to allow npm symlink before postinstall starts

Looking that file here in the repo, looks like it's actually with the wrong version of it.

I don't think that should be the content of the file.

[philnash]

The fix for this has been released as part of version 4.3.0 on npm now.

Thank you so much :)
