Bun: Native Node-API C++ addon failed to load in Bun runtime
error: Native Node-API addon failed to initialize or symbol not found in Bun runtime
Immediate Remediation
bash
# Run with Node.js fallback or rebuild native addon with bun: bun install --backend=hardlink bun pm untrusted # If package requires standard Node.js V8 internals: node server.mjs
Root Cause Analysis
The package relies on deprecated Node-API symbols or V8 engine internals not implemented by Bun's JavaScriptCore engine.
Verification & Guardrails
- Check Bun package compatibility database at bun.sh/guides.
- Prefer pure JavaScript/WASM alternatives (e.g. pg-native vs pg).
