[rvagg]

is that the only output? can you provide details on your operating system and version of Node.js please?

I'm using #38-Ubuntu SMP with 3.19.0-33-generic kernel.

Node is v5.4.1

@HeroicAutodidact would you mind trying it in a different directory? It could be that the file system type that's being used isn't playing so nicely here. Perhaps switch to /tmp/ and run through it again and see if it makes a difference. The fact that's it's getting past the compile step suggests that it's something to do with loading from the filesystem .. I think

[pixelpax]

Alright, I tried this, identical message. I've also tried locally installing goingnative, and I've tried executing gonative as root.

Any other ideas?

Is there someplace I can see which commands are being executed by gonative during the verify step? I can try executing individually and testing where the error is.

https://github.com/workshopper/goingnative/blob/master/exercises/am_i_ready/child.js#L13-L19

The line immediately above accessing .test checks to see if binding is defined and outputs an error.

@rvagg shouldn't we be breaking execution when each of those checks fail?

[rvagg]

https://github.com/workshopper/goingnative/blob/master/exercises/am_i_ready/exercise.js

it's compiling an addon in ../../packages/test-addon/ and then trying to load it with child.js.

[rvagg]

@retrohacker it is broken when one fails, as it has in this case, the callback in each of the processors controls that, the false as a second argument indicates a proper fail.

[retrohacker]

We can at least avoid the TypeError for referencing a value we already know is undefined from a previous check.

if(binding != null && binding.test !== 'OK')
