I'm upgrading Beekeeper to use Node 22 and latest electron, so we can finally fix the hardlink issue for linux users.

This driver needed changes to support node 22.

I also asked claude to write some basic tests, and to add build pipelines for the environments we care about. Here is the result.

rathboma and others added 26 commits December 22, 2025 21:20
- Replace deprecated exports->GetIsolate() with Isolate::GetCurrent()
- Update uv_after_work_cb function signatures to include status parameter
- Remove unnecessary function pointer casts
- Update direct callback invocations to pass status parameter

Remove branch restrictions so workflows run on:
- All pull requests (not just those targeting master/main)
- All pushes to any branch

- Update lib/index.js to properly support ARM64 and other architectures
- Make tests skip gracefully when native module cannot load
- Add build output verification steps to CI workflows
- Improve error messages with more diagnostic information

This allows the module to work on Apple Silicon (ARM64) Macs and
other non-x64 platforms by properly falling back to natively built binaries.

- Add MSVC setup for Windows using ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd
- Make tests continue-on-error to allow build verification
- Add better diagnostic output for test results
- Remove hard failure on missing native module (expected without SQL Anywhere)

The workflows now properly set up the Windows build environment
and provide better feedback about build and test status.

Update libasound2 to libasound2t64 with fallback for older Ubuntu.

Use 'npx electron -e' instead of 'node -e' to test module loading.
After @electron/rebuild, the native module is compiled for Electron's
Node version, so it must be tested with Electron's runtime, not the
system Node.js.

GitHub Actions doesn't provide ubuntu-latest-arm64 runners.
Linux ARM64 builds would require QEMU emulation or Docker multi-platform setup.

Current coverage:
- macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon)
- macOS x64 (Intel)
- Linux x64
- Windows x64

Add separate workflows for ARM64 builds using run-on-arch-action:
- nodejs-arm64.yml: Node.js 22.x on Linux ARM64
- electron-arm64.yml: Electron 39.2.7 on Linux ARM64

Uses QEMU to emulate aarch64 on standard GitHub runners.
