bootstrap script not working on latest npm

[koonpeng]

Bug report

The bootstrap script no longer works with the latest npm due to npm/cli#4552.

A temporary workaround is being added to the CI to use an older version #598. The old version can be reverted once the bug is fixed in npm.

when does this bug fixed? Is there another way to use rmf-web?

[mayman99]

This should have been fixed on main branch, do you still have it?
also a work around for now is to use an npm version older than 8.4

My situation:bootstrap script can work on latest npm right now ,but "cd rmf-web/packages/dashboard" and "npm start" no work
like this:

🤔 could you maybe write the exact commands that you are using in each terminal?
and in the dashboard package, does running npm run build before the npm run start get you any different result?

1>cd rmf-web-main && cd scripts && ./bootstrap.sh (1st terminal)

2>ros2 launch rmf_demos_gz office.launch.xml server_uri:="ws://localhost:8001" (2nt terminal)

3>cd rmf-web-main/packages/dashboard && npm run start (3rd terminal)

result:

So the lifecycle error should appear when using the latest npm version, which it does in your case.
To confirm this, I've upgraded my npm version and I get a lifecycle error as well, and when I downgrade the npm version it goes away.

So I would suggest deleting the node_module in rmf_web root dir, downgrade npm to the LTS which should be v16.14.2, and bootstrap and run everything again.
Hopefully this will solve the problem for you, if not we can investigate further

I install 16.14.2 by "nvm install 16.14.2" and "nvm use 16.14.2" ,then bootstrap and run everything again. it still don't works. as follow:

sometimes, when i run "./bootstrap" ,i found an ERROR : husky > Failed to install
as follow:

It 's matter or not?

[mayman99]

the error this time is coming from a ros2 package, it complains numpy is not installed

[daichuihua]

"cd rmf-web"&&"pipenv install numpy" and run"npm start" once again
bingo ,it works!
thank you very much ,mayman99

[mayman99]

Glad it worked!

[mayman99]

it was still not working on latest, we had to downgrade npm for it to work... issue persists

[aaronchongth]

Yup, apologies, I was following the conversation at the tail end of this thread and got a little trigger-happy. I'll be more careful next time

[aaronchongth]

I think #611 was to fix this issue, not #559. Will be closing this.
