Summary
Add libusb to github action runners (where
pnpm install
is needed)Rationale
One of our node dependencies,
node-hid
, is a native extension which depends onlibusb
. In the past this dependency has distributed precompiled binaries so it wasn't necessary to havelibusb
because usually the compile wouldn't be required as part of the install. However, it seems something has changed and those precompiled binaries are no longer being found reliably, and so we need to make sure we havelibusb
available wherever we do apnpm install
in case a build is needed.How has this been tested?
N/A, if CI succeeds then it works.
