Error: /src/node_modules/isolated-vm/out/isolated_vm.node: invalid ELF header

Question

I have a very simple Dockerfile

FROM emscripten/emsdk

COPY . .
RUN npm install --omit=dev

RUN node index.js

Which the following properties

node --version
v16.20.0

uname -a
Linux buildkitsandbox 6.4.16-linuxkit #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 25 16:32:24 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I want to use isolated-vm, I wrote this script

const fs = require("fs");
const ivm = require("isolated-vm");
const isolate = new ivm.Isolate({ memoryLimit: 16 });

const context = isolate.createContextSync();

const jail = context.global;
jail.setSync("global", jail.derefInto());
jail.setSync("log", function (...args) {
  console.log(...args);
});

const hostile = isolate.compileScriptSync("empty");

hostile.run(context).catch((err) => console.error(err));

My package.json

{
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "isolated-vm": "^4.6.0"
  }
}

When I build the image with the command

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 --progress=plain --tag compiler .

I get the error

Is this because my Node.js installation is old?

Answer 1

The problem was: I had node_modules in same folder, rming it from filesystem worked.
