Didn't you mean binding_path here instead of searchName ?

No. searchName is the name of the directory that contains grpc_node.node. And that directory name contains the relevant information for diagnosing this problem. Plus, it can be directly (visually) compared with the contents of foundNames.

Okay, then maybe rephrase it a tiny bit, because the words "gRPC binary module" to me means grpc_node.node. Maybe you need to add the word "location" next to "Expected" ?
