If I update the comparison on the line here to the following, it works:

  xcode_version, _ = XcodeVersion()

  if xcode_version >= '0500' and not env.get('SDKROOT'):

However, I'm not sure if it's supposed to work like that or not.

[cclauss]

This was fixed in the last few weeks... Can you please try with a more current release?

[LavaToaster]

That comparison is still in the master branch. So I don’t understand how it could have been fixed.

[cclauss]

Yes but the line that you changed is line 1494 but the traceback above is complaining about line 1529 which does not contain the code in question: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/gyp/pylib/gyp/xcode_emulation.py#L1529

@sam-github My sense is that this relates to gyp roundtrip but it is not yet clear.

[richardlau]

In the traceback node-gyp v5.0.5 is being used but the line number still looks off (although much closer to the code in question): https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/v5.0.5/gyp/pylib/gyp/xcode_emulation.py#L1529

[wagnerand]

Got the same error, but with the correct line number:

[wagnerand]

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/gyp/pylib/gyp/xcode_emulation.py#L1527 throws because https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/v5.0.5/gyp/pylib/gyp/xcode_emulation.py#L1294-L1295 sets XCODE_VERSION_CACHE to a tuple and returns it.

[MusicalEcho]

Hi. I have the same error after I updated xCode to the newest version(if it helps).

[cclauss]

@MusicalEcho What does your traceback say for the following lines?

gyp ERR! System Darwin 18.7.0
gyp ERR! command "/usr/local/Cellar/node@10/10.16.3/bin/node" "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js" "rebuild"
