Describe the bug

Install @cubejs-backend/postgres-driver failed.

It seems to be a peer dependencies version conflict issue.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

   docker run -p 4000:4000 \
     -p 15432:15432 \
     -v ${PWD}:/cube/conf \
     -e CUBEJS_DEV_MODE=true \
     cubejs/cube:dev

2. Open http://127.0.0.1:4000

3. Set Up a Database connection

4. Install postgres-driver

   

5. See error

   

   npm install @cubejs-backend/postgres-driver --save-dev failed with exit code 1. Please check your console.

Expected behavior Install postgres-driver successfully.

Seeing pnpm dealing with this kind of problem is smoother.

Hi @mokeyish 👋

Install postgres

What do you mean by that, exactly? It would be great to get more details.

I have just went through the steps described here and everything worked smoothly. I did not have to install any Postgres driver though as it's bundled with Cube in its Docker container.

@igorlukanin I've update the Step To Reproduce with screenshot.

My temporary solution is creating a directory with following structure

cubework
├── justfile
├── package.json

1. package.json, copy from https://github.com/cube-js/cube/blob/master/packages/cubejs-docker/package.json

2. justfile

   export PATH := absolute_path("node_modules/.bin:") + env_var("PATH")
   
   export CUBEJS_DEV_MODE := "true"
   
   setup:
       pnpm install
   
   serve:
       cubejs server
   
   cleanup:
       rm -rf .cubestore
       rm -rf .env
       rm -rf model

3. startup

   1. install just https://just.systems/man/en/chapter_4.html
   2. install pnpm https://pnpm.io/installation
   3. just setup
   4. just serve
   5. open http://127.0.0.1:4000/

Does this only happen with the dev image? Could you please try latest?

With the latest tag, npm install @cubejs-backend/postgres-driver is long time no response. I also tried other npm registry mirror, the same is true.

Hopefully it can be migrated to use pnpm or configured to use pnpm.

Hi @mokeyish 👋

Here's what I mentioned in one of my previous messaged:

Here's what you responded:

I've update the Step To Reproduce with screenshot.

However, I still don't understand what do you mean by "step 4 — Install postgres-driver" and why do you need to do that at all. After "step 3 — Set Up a Database connection", if that is a Postgres database, you will have a working connection, no driver installation required.

I'm afraid I'll need more details from you to understand what is the issue. If you can record a video where you follow the steps that you've described, that would be helpful.
