Check if $id is non-zero

[E100Beta]

I suspect you package non-statically compiled Node, so it doesn't work on systems which don't have glibc, e.g. Voidlinux.
This causes $id to be an empty variable.
This means rm -r ~/.config/.
Yep, I just deleted my entire ~/.config directory by running your script.

Thankfully I had a backup from two weeks ago, so I only need to bring some configs up to speed.
I didn't really think of what a correct way to avoid the issue would be, only worked around the most dangerous command.

The best way to go would be to just compile Node statically, with glibc built into binary. This would avoid the issue altogether.
Another way is to check if node is launching, and if not, aborting with an error.

I am using the official releases -> Linux Binaries (x86/x64); https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/

Looking through the ldd output:

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7fa5dd8b8000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7fa5dd8b8000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7fa5dd8b8000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x7fa5dd49f000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7fa5dd8b8000)

        libc.so.6 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7fa5dd8b8000)
Error relocating node: __isinf: symbol not found
Error relocating node: __isnan: symbol not found
Error relocating node: __strtod_internal: symbol not found
Error relocating node: backtrace: symbol not found

It searches for a linker in /lib64 folder, which doesn't exist on musl-based 64bit distributions.

So it's probably Node's fault, they didn't think about niche audience :)

So this script should probably just do what install.sh does and check for local node.js (I had local nodejs installed), but both scripts should probably try to detect non-glibc systems.

One way I found, but I am not sure if it's totally correct, is to look for ldd output:

ldd 2>&1 | grep GNU

ldd is actually a symlink to /usr/lib/libc.so, so it should be on any Linux system.
So something like:

if [ -z "$(ldd 2>&1 | grep GNU)" ]; then
    printf "Non-glibc system, bundled Node probably won't work\n" >&2
    exit 1
fi

Shoul work.

I am really sorry about this. Thanks for the fix.

Right, I guess using the native NodeJS should be the first option. how about having something like this:

MACHINE_TYPE=`uname -m`

which node 2>/dev/null
isNode=$?
echo NodeJS status = $isNode

if [ ${isNode} -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "Using system NodeJS"
  id=`node -e "process.stdout.write(require('./config.js').id)"`
elif [ ${MACHINE_TYPE} == 'x86_64' ]; then
  echo "Using ../node/x64/node"
  id=`../node/x64/node -e "process.stdout.write(require('./config.js').id)"`
else
  echo "Using ../node/x86/node"
  id=`../node/x86/node -e "process.stdout.write(require('./config.js').id)"`
fi

Yeah, looks fine 👍
And I just finished restoring my configs, so yay, damage undone and future damage hopefully prevented :)

[belaviyo]

Perfect.
