Running the "npm run dev" gives errors involving a type of "user"

[RW456]

I ran npm run dev, and it's giving me 22 errors involving a "user" and something related to conversion. Node 10, Centos 7, I did edit config file. Here's what it said:

Am I doing something wrong?

Making progress right now, changed all (most?) of the controllers where req as { user: User } to req.user as { user: User }. Also, made sure to copy and update a version of .env for both web and api. Made sure redis/mongod were installed. You'll also need Discord creds.

I also may have broke everything, we will see.

Use yarn instead

Looks like Discord gives the code /?code=xxx but the server doesn't accept it?

Do you get redirected? Are you in the cryb discord? If so check out #programming we've been helping each other out.

needs confirmed if this is an issue

npm is the issue in this case (it's broken and confirmed by William) https://i.imgur.com/uS0hY1S.png

I'll look into this locally soon, seems like an issue where the dependencies used for TypeScript types aren't properly being installed, might be because those dependencies are listed under devDependencies in package.json.

Joined thanks!

dev dependencies can be installed with a flag on npm, but these should be part of the core dependencies anyway.

[jiayang]

This happens using yarn as well now.

We just reverted to the last working version, looks like Dependabot messed a couple things up. Try running git pull && git reset --soft 84eb2e1b80ea2c2c558e1d154ffdaa3beacaf972 and then yarn again and try again. Sorry for the issue, closing this out for now!

[JeDaYoshi]

This was happening since before with npm though..

[darnfish]

My dumbass thought this was related to the dependabot stuff, reopening. Last message still applies with yarn @jiayang, reopening 🙃

[JeDaYoshi]

This got fixed already. Closing!
