gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected! I'M RUNNING XCODE 11.2beta

Did you add that "I'M RUNNING XCODE 11.2beta" to the output? That may be the main problem, using a beta version of xcode. But you could also try installing the command-line tools to solve this: xcode-select --install and then sudo xcodebuild -license accept after that succeeds. gcc -v should show you have something like Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.8).

joe-nano · 2019-10-16T22:53:32Z

No I didn’t I was merely saying that I do have XCode installed

mkellsy · 2019-10-16T23:12:10Z

I have the same issue

rvagg · 2019-10-16T23:22:48Z

please try installing the commandline tools like I suggested, it's different to the full xcode

@joe-nano Can this issue be closed?

dreamerblue · 2019-10-20T05:35:07Z

Same issue to me. node-gyp rebuild fails.

I'm using 10.15 Catalina and installed XCode CLI by xcode-select --install. But no com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLILeo, com.apple.pkg.DeveloperToolsCLI, com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables found.

Is there a way to fix it without installing full XCode.app?

cclauss · 2019-10-20T06:20:59Z

~~sudo xcodebuild -license accept~~

dreamerblue · 2019-10-20T09:01:27Z

sudo xcodebuild -license accept cannot solve this problem without XCode.app.

Returns:

Same issue.

cclauss · 2019-10-21T10:20:28Z

Could I please get a few of you to run /usr/sbin/pkgutil --packages | grep CLTools on Catalina?
% /usr/sbin/pkgutil --packages | grep CLTools

com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
com.apple.pkg.CLTools_SDK_macOS1015

If you get nothing returned, please do sudo xcode-select --install and then try the pkgutil command again.

Heres the same thing with grep Xcode

When you try to install CLT

mkellsy@mikes-laptop ~ % xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
mkellsy@mikes-laptop ~ %

mkellsy · 2019-10-21T12:51:19Z

This worked for me.

Install full Xcode
Open Xcode and the CLT will install
Then run sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

This uses the full Xcode CLT and node-gyp works.

cclauss · 2019-10-21T13:04:49Z

OK. Thanks. The goal is NOT to install full Xcode. Perhaps we needed to sudo on the xcode-select --install command. Did you look in "Software Update" to see if there was something there?

lozinsky · 2019-10-21T13:11:05Z

Uninstalling command-line tools as described in the official documentation, then run xcode-select --install solves this problem for me.

mkellsy · 2019-10-21T13:23:44Z

OK. Thanks. The goal is NOT to install full Xcode. Perhaps we needed to sudo on the xcode-select --install command. Did you look in "Software Update" to see if there was something there?

Yep, only Xcode.

For my Mac users, I am directing them to install full Xcode. Our team finds the instructions much easier then this https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2339/_index.html.

Note that many of our users will not go to the Apple developer site. However they can tolerate a command here and there.

matt17r · 2019-10-22T00:58:26Z

If you get nothing returned, please do sudo xcode-select --install and then try the pkgutil command again.

On Catalina with command line tools (but no Xcode) I'm getting the same as others:

nothing found by /usr/sbin/pkgutil --packages | grep CLTools
trying to install CLT again gives me xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
no updates available in Software Update
lozinsky's suggestion didn't work for me (no change to the above points after deleting /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and reinstalling with xcode-select --install)

Naïve question: Is there a reason the script needs to know the version? Is it not enough to just check ~~the install location~~ that they are installed with xcode-select -p (c.f. https://stackoverflow.com/a/15371967)?

matt17r · 2019-10-22T01:25:28Z

The comment says this check was ported from Homebrew:

node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/xcode_emulation.py

Line 1298 in a84b885

# This function ported from the logic in Homebrew's CLT version check

FWIW, in macOS 10.14 and greater Homebrew checks whether CLT need to be installed based on the presence of git:
https://github.com/Homebrew/install/blob/9f9e98f9cb2f82030e018a65a489e6726999d136/install#L116-L123

cclauss · 2019-10-22T11:34:00Z

@nodejs/build This issue is difficult to debug at scale because Travis CI does not yet support Catalina macOS 10.15 https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/osx/#macos-version

Is there another way to test these cases on Jenkins?

Trott · 2019-10-22T12:17:22Z

Is there another way to test these cases on Jenkins?

I think we'd need someone to set up a Catalina host at MacStadium. I think our most active MacStadium deployer might have been @gdams but I'm not sure they're active on the project anymore. Unless gdams jumps in here with a "Yeah, let me get that set up for you", more definitive word on whether this can happen easily/quickly will have to come from @rvagg or @mhdawson, I think. I'm guessing it's not easy or quick since we're always several versions behind on our macOS hosts in Jenkins. But again, I'm speculating.

rvagg · 2019-10-22T12:26:25Z

Sadly no, so far we haven't even been able to get High Sierra on MacStadium. Image availability and other complications. We do have some new Mac infrastructure we're introducing (and managing ourselves unfortunately) but that's a work in progress.

Everything about this is hard.

Also, I'll be holding back my laptop from Catalina, I can't afford the chaos, so I can't even help figure this all out.

cclauss · 2019-10-22T12:35:37Z

I edited the original post with the fix that @gibfahn added to #569.

cclauss · 2019-10-22T13:00:17Z

@joe-nano, et al, Can we close this issue?

suzck · 2020-10-01T12:27:57Z

I posted the solution in #1927 (comment) and not sure why people didn't take a look. I got a DOWN vote with that comment too.

because that isn't 'the' solution. Plenty of us have experienced that no amount of uninstalling and reinstalling the command line tools fixed anything at all until we manually removed files from the disk. It would seem that those of us who already had xcode and command line tools installed from some previous version of OS X had extra steps that were required to clean up whatever mess was causing the problems, even after installing the latest version of everything.
sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select -print-path) 
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
xcode-select --install
except this solution doesn't work for some people after last catalina update, and the only working solution that we found is to donwload it manually from apple website.

I did the manual download and I still can't get it working, and our pipelines are failing now too presumably because the build machines are using Catalina too

jdmarshall · 2020-10-01T23:53:32Z

@suzck There were a couple cases where it was recommended you reset the xcode-select path. Which version of xcode CLI
did you try to install manually?

ghost · 2020-10-04T09:22:29Z

There's a failure mode where xcode-select refuses to install itself because it's already installed. Even if the install directory doesn't exist. Even if you delete the install directory.

Same here.
Damn catalina...

inglkruiz · 2020-10-04T15:40:45Z

I just had the same issue which is getting quite repetitive every time I update macOS. This worked for me:

Run:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Download Command Line Tools for Xcode 12 from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ . Install it manually.

tonimelismasalesforce · 2020-10-09T10:59:55Z

I'm just metoo'ing on this issue as requested in the macOS_Catalina.md. Did all the steps, including manually deleting the developer tool directories and downloading the .dmg from Apple web site for XCode 12 command-line tools. Acid test runs correctly yet I get the build error.

Unfortunately I'm trying to work with a large open source project that hasn't apparently adopted node-gyp v7 yet so I'm stuck here.

cclauss · 2020-10-09T15:19:56Z

@tonimelismasalesforce does the solution proposed in #2235 work?

rvagg · 2020-10-14T03:39:18Z

I'd like confirmation from someone that #2235 (adding an xcode-select --reset before the xcode-select --install) is an actual improvement over the current suggested steps.

kboedges · 2020-10-15T03:37:40Z

Downloading it directly from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ worked for me: Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.2 beta 3

zoheiry · 2020-10-16T11:45:13Z

Uninstalling and reinstalling works, but I have to do this quite often and xCode is pretty large and takes ages to reinstall, there must be a better way than having to reinstall it every few days

cclauss · 2020-10-16T12:14:02Z

Yes. #2235

slikts · 2020-10-26T08:23:47Z

This is what worked for me: downloading the non-beta Command Line Tools for Xcode 12, deleting the existing directories, installing it and then running:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Part of the confusion is that every version seems to use a different path. The non-beta path is as above, while the more recent ones are under either /Applications/Xcode.app or /Applications/Xcode-beta.app. Here's a script to select the existing directory automatically:

names=("/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools" "/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer" "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer")

for name in ${names[*]}; do
  if [[ -d $name ]]
  then
    echo Selecting $name
    sudo xcode-select --switch $name
  fi
done

cclauss · 2020-10-26T08:28:25Z

#2244 which just landed works for me.

mhusseini · 2020-10-29T14:31:04Z

Started getting "No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables' found at '/' -npm" after opening Terminal following the Catalina 10.15.7 supplemental update - this solution fixed it great.

aaroncraigongithub · 2021-01-15T17:58:11Z

Just wanted to comment that following the instructions for "I did all that" (https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/macOS_Catalina.md#i-did-all-that-and-the-acid-test-still-does-not-pass--) resulted in a broken XCode installation.

The XCode.app file has been removed, but the App Store thinks it's still installed, so doesn't present an option to re-install.

To re-install, I had to manually delete the Xcode.app file from /Applications.

ohbeep · 2021-01-29T08:56:42Z

OK. Thanks. The goal is NOT to install full Xcode. Perhaps we needed to sudo on the xcode-select --install command. Did you look in "Software Update" to see if there was something there?

Note that many of our users will not go to the Apple developer site. However they can tolerate a command here and there.

This works for me after installing the Command Line Tools for Xcode from apple(https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action). I have this issue every time the command line tools was updated by Mac's system software update.

armenzg · 2021-02-10T21:33:58Z

Should this check still be in place for folks on Big Sur?

It seems that every so often when there's an update from Mac this comes back.
I followed the documentation to get me back into a good state. You can find my output and steps here.

GalaxySciTech · 2021-04-14T15:45:13Z

This worked for me.

Open Xcode and the CLT will install

Then run sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

This uses the full Xcode CLT and node-gyp works.

get sign

goya · 2021-06-04T23:54:17Z

i had this error when running it as a dependancy.

once i installed it globally

$ npm i -g node-gyp

it worked fine. hope this helps someone who doesnt want to re-download xcode.

ketsapiwiq · 2021-08-08T13:33:36Z

I had this error and tried everything except installing the whole XCode 7Go package.

I installed cmake.js, a node-gyp alternative and I can now npm install...
npm install --ignore-scripts seems to work also in my case but apparently it doesn't install everything.

spiritcapsule · 2022-06-22T01:51:00Z

the acid test (https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/main/macOS_Catalina.md#the-acid-test) fails every time because https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/raw/master/macOS_Catalina_acid_test.sh does not exist (404). The command should be:
