Problem with Keccak when installing truffle

[adriendulong]

I keep have the same issue as described in the #1584 with Keccack when trying to install Truffle.

I have tried with different versions, I also tried to compltely unbinstall glo--bally and install globally again, but I always get the same error when installing:

npm install -g truffle
/Users/adriendulong/.nvm/versions/node/v12.0.0/bin/truffle -> /Users/adriendulong/.nvm/versions/node/v12.0.0/lib/node_modules/truffle/build/cli.bundled.js

> keccak@1.4.0 install /Users/adriendulong/.nvm/versions/node/v12.0.0/lib/node_modules/truffle/node_modules/keccak
> npm run rebuild || echo "Keccak bindings compilation fail. Pure JS implementation will be used."


> keccak@1.4.0 rebuild /Users/adriendulong/.nvm/versions/node/v12.0.0/lib/node_modules/truffle/node_modules/keccak
> node-gyp rebuild

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/keccak/src/addon.o
../src/addon.cc:37:47: error: too few arguments to function call, single
      argument 'context' was not specified
    unsigned int rate = info[0]->IntegerValue();`

Is anyone getting the same issue?
Could it be related to the configuration of my node installation?

Thank you

Yes, I can reproduce the issue. It is likely due to using Node 12. We'll have to look into it. In the meantime if you downgrade to something between version 8.9.4 and the latest version of 11 it should be perfectly fine. Thanks for the heads up on this!

This may be a duplicate of issue #1584, in which node 9.3.0 was used. Therefore, switching to that version of Node seems unlikely to be a successful solution.

@adriendulong Can you give some information about versioning? For example, are you on Windows or Mac? Can you paste the output from truffle version here as well?

Hi @adriendulong thanks for opening this issue! Can you get back to us about @eggplantzzz's question? We'll close this for issue maintenance next week unless it's still an issue.

I had this problem when trying to install everything globally. Once I removed all the packages globally and created a local instance of node, the packages installed without error in my local instance.

Also had this problem installing with node v12.16.1. Rolled back to node v11.14.0 and install worked.

This is still an issue with node v13.9.0. Is anyone planning on fixing this or will we always be forced to roll back our node version?

Same issue with node v14.16.0
