I get this error every time I use openpgp

[chesnokovilya]

Hello, could you please include node version, openpgp version, and a way to replicate this bug? It does not happen on other systems.

[twiss]

From the error message, it sounds like this could happen if you're extending a built-in object (of the standard library) with a new function or property (member). Are you (or a package you're importing) writing anything to global, or perhaps the prototype of a built-in function?

In particular, the global object that's passed to the asm function at that line is Uint8Array. Could you run

console.log(Uint8Array.toString());
console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(Uint8Array.prototype));

and post the output here?

[twiss]

Let me know if you still have this issue.

I'm seeing this too:

› node
Welcome to Node.js v12.16.1.
Type ".help" for more information.
> Uint8Array.toString()
'function Uint8Array() { [native code] }'
> Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(Uint8Array.prototype)
{
  constructor: {
    value: [Function: Uint8Array],
    writable: true,
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: true
  },
  BYTES_PER_ELEMENT: { value: 1, writable: false, enumerable: false, configurable: false }
}

Hey @dan-turner 👋 Thanks! That looks perfectly normal.

I'm assuming you're using OpenPGP.js in a larger Node.js project, though? Could you run the same two console.log lines just before calling OpenPGP.js? One of your other dependencies might be messing with the built-in Uint8Array.

If you still get the same result, could you try to create a minimal reproducible example?

For what it's worth, openpgp works fine for me in that version of Node:

$ node
Welcome to Node.js v12.16.1.
Type ".help" for more information.
> const openpgp = require('openpgp')
undefined
> openpgp.encrypt({ message: openpgp.message.fromText('hi'), passwords: 'test' }).then(console.log, console.error)

Getting this exact error (node_modules/openpgp/dist/openpgp.js:2491 Linking failure in asm.js: Unexpected stdlib member) as well; test given above works fine as expected (see below). What are ideas as to how to fix, or is this an actual bug in this project, the NodeJS openpgp?

$ node --version
v14.11.0

console.log(Uint8Array.toString());
console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(Uint8Array.prototype));

yields:

   function Uint8Array() { [native code] }

   {
      constructor: {
        value: [Function: Uint8Array],
        writable: true,
        enumerable: false,
        configurable: true
      },
      BYTES_PER_ELEMENT: { value: 1, writable: false, enumerable: false, configurable: false }
    }

Also the repl test works fine:

$ node

Hey 👋 If it works in the REPL but not in your application, then my best guess is that there's something about the environment you're running the application in that makes the globals different from the expected ones. E.g. just a wild guess but are you using Jest? The issue could be jestjs/jest#2549.

Alternatively, maybe there's another dependency of your application that's messing with the globals, or somehow interacting badly with OpenPGP.js?

[nottoseethesun]

Yep using Jest - thanks!

[twiss]

Alrighty 👍 In that case, this might help: #1226 (comment)

[Janaka-Steph]

I tried using https://www.npmjs.com/package/jest-environment-node-single-context as suggested in jestjs/jest#2549 but didn't work for me

[dan-turner]

Still occurring. The tests do pass but still results in the warning. This is the output when running with the suggest --trace-warnings flag:
