Unable to run unit tests on MacOS 15.6.1

[pRatikSathaye]

I am using following versions of deps for my project

1. bcrypt: 6.0.0
2. Node: 20.19.1
3. npm: 10.8.2

I am trying to run a unit test as follows

    it('returns true if password and hash match', async () => {
      const password = uuid();
      const passwordHash = await hash(password);

      expect(await compare(password, passwordHash)).to.be.equal(true);
    });

The test fails with following error

     Error: Timeout of 2000ms exceeded. For async tests and hooks, ensure "done()" is called; if returning a Promise, ensure it resolves. (/<path-to-repo>/test/new-unit/common/bcrypt.test.js)
      at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:581:17)
      at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:519:7)

What I found is that the node_modules/bcrypt does not contains the compatible version of bcrypt.node for MacOS 15.6.1. Unfortunately I do not have MacOS 16 version so I was unable to test this.

Note: When I tried updating timeout to 5s, the test runs successully

Can someone help?

You have something (security software?) causing slowness, test do work on a M1 MacBook Pro running macOS Sequoia

I suspect it may have something to do with the prebuilt binary. If I go into the bcrypt directory in node_modules and run npm i && npm run build it'll execute prebuildify --napi --tag-libc --strip, which then creates a new binary at bcrypt/prebuilds/darwin-arm64/bcrypt.glibc.node. Running the unit test with the new binary and no other changes works.

Any thoughts on this? @recrsn
