Installation crashes on latest macOS Ventura 13.6

Hi, thanks a lot for this very useful module!

Unfortunately I can't install it anymore since the last OS update.

Error:

Hi @Offirmo! Thanks for the build logs, and sorry about this.

I tested with the macos-13 ventura runner from GitHub Actions, it's still in beta and only supports x64, but I could not reproduce this issue. Unfortunately, I don't have any Apple devices to play with it myself.

It looks like the problem is that assert() is not declared, though this usually globally available. To be fair, I didn't explicitly include assert.h as I should have, so my best guess is that you have a header file somewhere in your system path which conflicted with it.

I pushed some changes to the main branch to hopefully fix this, but I want to confirm that there are no other conflicts before publishing. Would you be willing to try building directly from the latest code?

git clone https://github.com/baileyherbert/utimes.git utimes-main
cd utimes-main
npm install --ignore-scripts
npm run build

This should build the native binding into lib/binding/napi-v3/utimes.node. Feel free to paste the build logs here if you're not certain whether it succeeded. 🔥

[Offirmo]

Thanks for the answer!

My laptop it a company one installed from scratch a month ago, so it should be quite "clean" (I have a bunch of brew installed though)

I'm testing your branch asap.

[Offirmo]

Hi mate, standard procedure but I reviewed your src before running commands from a stranger :)

Why do you have aws-sdk as a dependency? It doesn't seem related and I couldn't see its usage.

[Offirmo]

FYI I also ran npm test

They succeeded once but they are flaky for the "multiple files" section.

[baileyherbert]

That's great, thank you! I've just released v5.2.1 with the new fix.

Why do you have aws-sdk as a dependency? It doesn't seem related and I couldn't see its usage.

Yeah, that's my bad. I used to deploy prebuilt binaries to Amazon S3, and had a script in the package.json file to publish them. I've just removed that dev dependency, thanks for pointing it out.

They succeeded once but they are flaky for the "multiple files" section.

That's weird... can you paste the test logs here from when it fails? I'd appreciate it!

[Offirmo]

Hi @baileyherbert
I fetched the latest, re-built and ran npm test 5 times. It failed 3 times:

I hope this help!

[baileyherbert]

As I suspected, the tests are failing because the atime is wrong when measured. This particular timestamp has always given me some trouble, the very act of querying it can bump it. I'll investigate in a couple days, thank you!

[Offirmo]

Hi @baileyherbert thanks again for your help, feel free to close this issue!
