FATAL ERROR: v8::ArrayBuffer::Neuter Only externalized ArrayBuffers can be neutered

I keep getting this error "FATAL ERROR: v8::ArrayBuffer::Neuter Only externalized ArrayBuffers can be neutered" when I run "tns platform add ios" or "tns platform add android"

+1, i have tried npm i -g tns-ios to reinstall things but it still fails.

xcode version 7.1 (7B91b)
tns doctor reports no issues

@SAMB90 @charismsft What version of Node?

[Trott]

I'm able to reproduce this error with node 5.0.0 but reverting to node 4.2.1 fixes it.

Chances are you need to wait for https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-cl to be updated to work with node 5.0.0 but that's just a guess. I would recommend watching and/or commenting on NativeScript/nativescript-cli#1129.

I'm on Node 5.0.0. I'll try an older version of node and report back

[svc76]

how do i revert back to 4.2.1?

[unbornchikken]

We're having this error when compiling node-ffi on 5.0.0. Haven't found anything about this in the changelog. Is it an issue of node side, or should we (native module developers) change something in our codebase to work around this?

/cc @indutny - looks like 931118c is responsible.

[Trott]

@charismsft That depends on how you installed it in the first place. I would recommend opening an issue in https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues explaining what OS you are running and how you installed it.

[indutny]

@bnoordhuis patched 4.x version (with 931118c) works fine, however 5.x is broken.

The question is does everyone experiencing the problem here installed node from the website? If so - may I ask you to try building it from source and testing again?

[Trott]

@indutny:

• Current master (b7cc19c) still results in the error
• 931118c does not result in the error

[indutny]

@Trott is there an easy way to reproduce it?

[Trott]

I was doing something like this from the topmost dir in the repo clone:

$ export PATH=`pwd`:${PATH}
$ ./configure && make
...
$ npm uninstall -g nativescript
...
$ npm install -g nativescript --nodedir=`pwd`
...
$ tns platform

Running git bisect right now to try to identify the commit that causes the issue to show up.
