Cannot run ZAP tool

[Marco Russi]

Hello,

I am trying to create a Matter device by following the steps in https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/ug_matter_creating_accessory.html

I fail to launch the ZAP tool as it seems that a version the script is looking for is missing and another one is present intead.

Indeed if I go in the folder /home/marco/Pingeco/exp/ncs/modules/lib/matter/third_party/zap/repo/node_modules/sqlite3/lib/binding I see napi-v3-linux-glibc-x64 instead of v6. (see text in bold below)

⇝ A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Thank you.

UPDATE: I downloaded V^ and put it in the folder alongside V3. I solved my issue but I'd like to know why I had this problem. Thanks.

Hi, 

What is your operating system? What do npm --version and node --version return?

Our expert verified it works correctly on his system and somehow napi-v6-linux-glibc-x64 module is found so it might be an unsupported npm/node version.

Hi Amanda,

I am on Ubuntu.

npm version is 8.16.0. 

node version is v16.16.0

Thanks

Hi, 

We use npm version 6.14 and node 14.20 and the module napi-v6-linux-glibc-x64 is available. Don't know what are possible reasons for not finding the module other than the npm version.
