Error: No native build was found

This error originates a few levels deep, from ssb-db2 originally, but this is the root module causing it. I'm not sure how to debug this.

Error: No native build was found for platform=darwin arch=arm64 runtime=node abi=93 uv=1 armv=8 libc=glibc node=16.13.1

I think the error itself is just a warning, and afterwards it should attempt to compile the module (in that case, with nj-cli).

thanks @staltz

I think the next thing I will look into is if it does indeed attempt to compile it. I'm using this with ssb-validate2-rsjs-node.

The bad news is that I don't really know what's going on here. So there is a rust library, and we are trying to use a compiled version of it with a node library. And this repo is responsible for making a compiled version.
