Error on start

[hwalker928]

Hey there, I get this error when running npm start.

npm ERR!

Can you try running node app.js instead of npm start? It may be an issue with nodemon, but it's hard to tell right now. Perhaps you'll get an error message that gives some more info.

Also, if you have Docker installed, it will provide a much more straightforward path to installing! But I know that option is not available to all users.

Hey there,

I have tried with docker as well and I get a different error, and I'll go grab you those logs now.

With node app.js, I also get a different error.

Kind regards, and I'll reply with them soon.

Thanks! I'll investigate once you send those my way

node app.js error

https://paste.harrydev.me/eyutizabiv.typescript

docker-compose pull error

[Tzahi12345]

Hm I don't quite understand the issue with the docker-compose, do you mind sharing your docker-compose.yml file?

Regarding the node app.js error, it sounds like your node.js may be outdated. If you can update to node v12, it should work without issue. Let me know how it goes!

[hwalker928]

Ah - updating nodejs seems to have resolved the error, but I cannot access the website

[Tzahi12345]

Interesting, do you get any errors at that point? Your browser console might give more insight (right click->inspect element->console). Normally once the app is up and running it should be accessible from the same host on localhost:17443

Just a quick question in case this is the problem: did you download the app from the releases page or did you do a git pull? If you do a git pull, you actually need to build the frontend first (ng build --prod from the root folder), normally users just download the latest release (v4.1), though that's getting a bit outdated at this point.

[hwalker928]

I just downloaded it from releases as the ng build command doesnt exist

[Tzahi12345]

I'm still confused as to why nothing shows up when you try to access the app. Does anything pop up in the browser console?

You can still try the build-from-source route, it just takes a couple extra steps (if you're down for that):

1. Run npm install -g @angular/cli
2. Run git clone https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material.git and then cd YoutubeDL-Material
3. Run npm install (installs dependencies for the frontend)
4. Run ng build --prod (forgot to mention about that this requires Angular, the first command installs it)
5. Run cd backend to enter the backend directory
6. Run npm install (installs dependences for the backend)
7. Finally, run node app.js

But ive already updated node? This is during step 3

[hwalker928]

Also btw, do you have discord? I would just find it easier to communicate than issues

[Tzahi12345]

Yup! Here's my code: Tzahi#8672

I can't get in a call now since it's fairly late but I agree, it'll be easier to chat there (only downside is if someone else faces this issue, but in that case I'll post an update here summarizing the fix)

[hwalker928]

Sent FR.

[Tzahi12345]

We were able to get this fixed last night -- the main problem listed here is that Node.js was outdated (and even when updating, centos used the old version). ffmpeg is also not installed by default on centos, so that had to be done as well. @hwalker928 added instructions in the README for centos users to avoid any installation problems in the future. Thanks for the contribution!

I am getting the exact same error but with different versions:

Running node app.js gives me the following error:

This is on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install with the dependencies installed. I had to install NPM separately though. Everything seems up to date.

[hwalker928]

Do node -v

[battlezone]

node -v
v8.10.0

[hwalker928]

Update to node 12

[battlezone]

Thanks, that did the trick.
