Hey Everyone,

I cloned your repo and tried to build it as explained in the Docs, however I got the following errors: 

Error: Build failed with 5 errors:
node_modules/pc-nrfconnect-shared/src/Alert/Alert.module.scss:1:7: ERROR: Do not know how to load path: esbuild-sass-plugin:css-chunk:node_modulespc-nrfconnect-sharedsrcAlertAlert.module.scss

node_modules/pc-nrfconnect-shared/src/Dropdown/Dropdown.module.scss:1:7: ERROR: Do not know how to load path: esbuild-sass-plugin:css-chunk:node_modulespc-nrfconnect-sharedsrcDropdownDropdown.module.scss

However installing esbuild-sass-plugin manually with the following command fixed it.

npm install esbuild-sass-plugin --save

also running

npm ci

returns a lot of warnings:

26 vulnerabilities (3 moderate, 22 high, 1 critical)

To address issues that do not require attention, run: npm audit fix

Some issues need review, and may require choosing a different dependency.

Setup: Node.js version 18.16.0 npm version 9.5.1 on Windows 10

Commands to init run: git clone https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfconnect-ble.git cd pc-nrfconnect-ble npm ci npm build:dev ----> fails npm install esbuild-sass-plugin --save npm build:dev ----> works

I am very new to Node.js and very much apreciate your help. Are the warnings of any concern and does manually installing esbuild-sass-plugin indicate an incorrect setup, or are the dependencies just outdated?

Best

Hi @Kunzro,

sorry for the slow response and that our documentation is not very well tailored towards new developers. The very vast majority of development on nRF Connect for Desktop and its apps is done in-house at Nordic Semiconductor and because of that we, unfortunately, sometimes have less of an eye on other developers.

I just tested it and for me compiling this project works out of the box, without the need of manually installing esbuild-sass-plugin, both on my machine or on a build-server. Still, of course it could be, that there is something wrong with this project.

But, I am more curious why you even want to build this project. Especially this project, because it only is a small wrapper app, which effectively downloads the real BLE app (found at https://github.com/NordicPlayground/pc-nrfconnect-ble-standalone/tree/main/pc-nrfconnect-ble) which itself isn't currently actively updated anymore, but may eventually be replaced by a new BLE app.

Hey @datenreisender

Thank you very much for your response! You are right, I am actually indeed more interested in the "real standalone" BLE app (It took me a while to understand that this is just a small wrapper).

Again thanks for the help and have a nice day!
