An error occurred: 'Cannot read property '1' of null

[MatejKovacic]

I am opening a new issue, because I just realised #2 is closed.

So, I have run into the same error. I have RaspberryPi 4, running RasPBX (Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) - Linux raspbx 5.10.103-v7l+ #1529 SMP Tue Mar 8 12:24:00 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux).

I ran: wget -nc -q -O - garronej.github.io/chan-dongle-extended-pages/install.sh | sudo bash

And this happens:

OK, what I did next...

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g npm@latest-5

git clone https://github.com/garronej/chan-dongle-extended

cd chan-dongle-extended/

npm run partial_install
npm run release

That went well. Then I run: npm install, and got this error:

I am also attaching full error log (in the next message). Any idea what does all this means and what could be the problem?

Hi @MatejKovacic,

Sorry it's been a long time since I touched this project.
It's probably not much, it needs some adaptation to the latest Raspbian version.
Unfortunately I don't have a Raspberry PI setup at the moment.
If you setup an SSH access to your PI I might find the time to see what's up and provide a patch this week end.

I can't promise anything though

[MatejKovacic]

Hi, unfortunately I was unable to set up access to my RaspberryPi, because I am using it behind NAT.

But I managed to run the installer with the help of my friend. We used NPM 10.

Anyway, it is not working, because it requires installation of asterisk-dev package:

$ systemctl start ModemManager {"stdio":"pipe"}

My friend says the project needs a lot of further development and it is not usable in current state. So if you have some spare time...

[garronej]

Not a lot, just some little adjustments...
You should be able to connect to your box and forward ports to your raspberry pi...

[MatejKovacic]

I will try to do that. Will send you access. Do you have some e-mail or something, that I do not publish access to my server here?
