Bug 758158 – www-apps/kibana-bin-7.10.0 ebuild specifies incorrect dependency for nodejs

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Korthrun 2020-12-02 22:27:37 UTC]

The ebuild for this package specifies a dependency on ">=net-libs/nodejs-10.21.0".

This is not accurate. Kibana will not start with either of the current 14.5.x versions of nodejs that are available in portage. While it will start with net-libs/nodejs-12.19.1 installed, and I can use kibana in the matter I used to, I have not thoroughly tested every single feature.

It would be neat if we could get the dependencies defined in a way that accurately reflects a nodejs version which kibana can run under.

Alternatively, the vendor does supply a "valid" nodejs with the product. The ebuild explicitly removes this. I was told in IRC that Gentoo doesn't like using bundled libs. I understand that approach in a general sense but wonder if that might get revisited for the case of the Elastic stack since they are so consistently "picky" about which version of about any component is used.

It seems burdensome to a maintainer to have to keep up such a specific RDEPENDS definition, and based on https://bugs.gentoo.org/739340 it doesn't look like Gentoo wants to keep the nodejs 10.x LTS around any longer due to the build dependency on python 2.7. I'm not sure what other options there are, but luckily it is not my problem :D

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a version of nodejs from portage with a version greater than net-libs/nodejs-12.19.1
2. Install kibana 7.10.0
3. Run "/etc/init.d/kibana start" or "rc-service kibana start"

Actual Results:  
Kibana fails to start with the following error in the error log:

kibana FATAL  ResponseError: validation_exception

When run outside of the init system, this error goes to STDOUT:
Unhandled Promise rejection detected:
     TypeError: Cannot set property 'writecb' of undefined

I no longer have the full trace in my terminal, but it the same issue described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62742307/unable-to-start-kibana

Expected Results:  
Kibana starts

Thanks for the report, we'll restrict nodejs to versions below 14. 

Btw, I still keep a version of nodejs-10 in my overlay and use that one.
