Question

C++ node Addons supported in CEP?

Hello,

 

I am trying to use a C++ node Addon in a CEP extension for InDesign. After debugging i now suspect the C++ Addons are not supported or some configuration is probably required that i am missing. So i am trying to use the sqlite3 node package https://www.npmjs.com/package/sqlite3. I get different results on a MAC and WIN

 

On MAC

I get an error regarding unsigned .node file, if i sign it using my Apple Developer ID then i get another error that says "not valid for use in process using Library Validation: mapping process and mapped file (non-platform) have different Team IDs"

 

On WIN 

I get a very cryptic message like "uncaught error: the system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 in the message file for %2 nodejs"

I suspected this might be due to my env configuration, so i used require directly on the node file and then also i get this same error.

 

The errors on both the platforms seems unrelated but point quite heavily to this being unsupported. Could someone verify what exactly is the problem.

    Hi Manan, I'm facing the same issue as you on Mac - did you ever find a solution?

     

    Cheers,

    Hi Kristian,

    I couldn't get it running via the normal route. What I did instead was use WASM . If I remember correctly WASM was hosted on an invisible CEP panel. I used the https://www.npmjs.com/package/sql-wasm package
