Hi, I cloned off the repo and ran 'npm install'. After a bit, it failed at:

simple-breakpad-server@1.0.0 prepublish /home/seabld/bp grunt coffee

/home/seabld/bp/node_modules/mkdirp/lib/opts-arg.js:7 opts = { mode: 0o777, fs, ...opts } ^^^

I don't understand npm, grunt, nor coffee; but I do know a bit of js. I removed the extra ellipses (no idea where that came from), and ran 'npm install' again.

I also had to add 'grunt-shell': '^1.0.0' to the packages.json dev part.

Then it came to the following error:

` Running "coffee:glob_to_multiple" (coffee) task Warning: Unable to create directory "lib" (Error code: undefined). Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

The thing is,if I just went and 'npm install -g simple-breakpad-server', it installs and runs; but when I tried to use mysql dialect, it throws an error. (will file a new issue).

The ellipsis is the "spread" operator, requires a newer version of Javascript/Node, looks like mkdirp released a version that doesn't work on older Node versions :(.

As for making a lib folder, usually the build process builds the .js files into lib, so, it should be in the same directory you cloned the repo into, although possibly it's just erroring because something earlier failed, I don't actually know how the build process works here either ^_^.

We probably just need to pin to some older versions of some modules, and include a package-lock.json to avoid this in the future. Looks like I added one to my fork let me know if that one works for you =). They're pretty in sync, other than including a package-lock.json, I think...

From your error, it also looks like you're on Node v6, which is very old and has long since expired from long term support, the oldest Node version still in LTS is Node v10, with Node v12 the now oldest in "Active LTS".

Also, npm i installs the post-built .js files, doesn't go through the build process, so not surprising it would have fewer issues.

Hi Jimbly,

Thanks for the advice inhow to proceed forth. I'm on a CentOS 7.7 system, so I'm guessing I'll need to install a newer version somewhere else and refer to that instead.

ewongbb commented 4 years ago

Just removed the old nodejs package and installed nodesource's nodejs version and now npm install works.

Good to hear, glad to help!
