Deasync Error: Could not locate the bindings file

[jordiblanchcarles]

Hello,

I'm trying to use cec-monitor within an ElectronJS v5.0.2 app, but the app is not starting because it throws an error while loading deasync module. Here it is the error thrown:

App threw an error during load
Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried:

Does anybody have any clue about how to solve this problem?

Thank you!

Deasync bindings are specific for the OS. So, It could be an issue with the Deasync version or maybe Deasync is not compatible with your OS. You should go to Deasync repo and check there or open an issue.

It looks like ElectronJS and Deasync are not compatible. Is there any way to avoid using Deasync in cec-monitor?

[pablodgonzalez]

Fork the library, remove de dependency and the functions where it is used.

Hello, I've already replaced the Deasync.loopWhile() method you were using with p-wait-for module's pWaitFor method to avoid deasync module, and it seems to be working properly.

Would you like to commit these changes?

Thanks @jordiblanchcarles We will check the changes and make performances test. By the way, in the future the main idea is make and node library to support the libcec without wrap the cec-client CLI because it is only for debugging and test.
Personally I don't know how to work ElectronJS with the bindinds.
I hope to make the tests soon.
