[IngoRauschenberg]

Hello,

I tried to follow these instructions https://docs.useaurora.app/getting-started/installation-1/installation-1/installation

and got a problem at the point of the UI-Installation when I have to do =npm run build && npm run start= I got this error reportet

npm run start

> aurora@0.3.0 start /srv/aurora/aurora
> next start

(node:4336) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: /srv/aurora/aurora/node_modules/jest-worker/build/WorkerPool.js:25

          ^

    at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/srv/aurora/aurora/node_modules/jest-worker/build/index.js:38:42)

Did I do something wrong? The api seems to work since I can reach it with a normal http request at port 5000 on the host.

Hope you can help me best regards Ingo

Hello!

Thank you for your issue, what's you're Node.js version?

[IngoRauschenberg]

I tried this on a debian system, and this is the output from npm version:

npm version
{ api: '1.0.0',
  npm: '5.8.0',
  ares: '1.14.0',
  cldr: '29.0',
  http_parser: '2.8.1',
  icu: '57.1',
  modules: '57',
  nghttp2: '1.25.0',
  node: '8.11.1',
  openssl: '1.0.2l',
  tz: '2016b',
  unicode: '8.0',
  uv: '1.34.2',
  v8: '6.2.414.50',
  zlib: '1.2.8' }

And yes it is still only a stretch so maybe this is the problem?

[askides]

Probably is the node.js version 8 the problem, maybe you should try with a version >= 12.

The backend is working also on node 10, but the frontend has not been tested for version 10.

Then, the docker images are using node 14 as environment

Could you try with a newer version?

[IngoRauschenberg]

Yes I will try. At first the newer versions from Debian and if this fails some newer versions manually installed. I'll let you know the results.

Thank you!

Hi,

first try was debian buster:

npm version
{ aurora: '1.0.1',
  npm: '7.5.2',
  http_parser: '2.9.4',
  node: '10.24.0',
  v8: '6.8.275.32-node.59',
  uv: '1.24.1',
  zlib: '1.2.11',
  brotli: '1.0.7',
  ares: '1.14.0',
  modules: '64',
  nghttp2: '1.41.0',
  napi: '7',
  openssl: '1.1.1d',
  icu: '63.1',
  unicode: '11.0',
  cldr: '34.0',
  tz: '2018e' }

I got again an error, but a different one. Second try was npm and nodejs from sid:

npm version
(node:13745) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.
{
  npm: '7.5.2',
  node: '12.21.0',
  v8: '7.8.279.23-node.45',
  uv: '1.40.0',
  zlib: '1.2.11',
  brotli: '1.0.7',
  ares: '1.17.1',
  modules: '72',
  nghttp2: '1.43.0',
  napi: '7',
  llhttp: '2.1.3',
  http_parser: '2.9.4',
  openssl: '1.1.1k',
  cldr: '37.0',
  icu: '67.1',
  tz: '2019c',
  unicode: '13.0'
}

This time the ui is working and I'm trying now to figure out how I can 'hide' this behind an apache reverse proxy. So this issue can be closed. Thanks!
