Vscode Extension failed because it can not locate bindings file when importing faiss-node about faiss-node HOT 4 OPEN

@masasso Thank you for reporting the issue.
I tried the above steps but didn't reproduce. From the runtime error logs, it seems that the compiled binary was not found.

Please try these options

• Create a blank nodejs project, install faiss-node, and run the given code see if it works. This is to confirm whether the problem is related to VS Code Extension.
• Provide detailed npm install faiss-node --verbose logs to troubleshoot whether the installation of prebuild packages failed.
• Please provide the smallest reproducible VS Code project for investigation.
• Try to compile the binary locally.

@masasso I got similar problems with OSX setup. I tried clean install and tested the example. I got an error indicating there is something "missing".... Library not loaded: '/usr/local/opt/libomp/lib/libomp.dylib'
After "brew install libomp"... example works as expected. Note I've OSX not pure linux,... I hope this helps.

@tro9999 libomp is a dependency under OSX, I have bundled it in #5 and a new version will be released.

I just ran into this issue too because bindings seemed to be looking for the .node file starting from the wrong directory as shown in the first comment. After digging through a bunch of other issues on google this one from node-bindings lead to a working solution TooTallNate/node-bindings#43

Just add faiss-node as an external in the webpack config.

  externals: {
    // modules added here also need to be added in the .vscodeignore file
    "faiss-node": "commonjs faiss-node",
  },

then the sample code above and my own code using Faiss worked fine in a VSCode extension.
