I am trying to install git-hours on Ubuntu 18.04 and I am getting an error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/git-hours/node_modules/promisify-node/utils/args.js:9

I got things working on Ubuntu 16. Details posted here: https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/git-hours/issues/34

I get the same error trying to install on Windows 10. I don't think it's a nodegit issue because I installed nodegit separately and it worked.

Having same error on Mint 19, with npm 6.7.0. nodegit is installed without problems

fikrikarim commented 5 years ago

I got exact problem when installing using node v10.16.0

It runs perfectly when I install using node v6.17.1

iplus26 commented 5 years ago

For anyone cannot install this tool using new version of node, it seems to be a problem with dependency nodegit. I assign a specific latest version of nodegit in package.json, it works fine.

{
"devDependencies": {
    "git-hours": "^1.3.0",
    "nodegit": "^0.26.1"
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "nodegit": "^0.26.1"
  }
}

Should be a workaround (also fixed #43 ) before the author publish the new version

same error here on node 10 on chromebook's debian installation

$ uname -a Linux penguin 4.19.44-04937-gd773af751792 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 8 21:43:29 PDT 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

apart from this tool's installation node works perfectly

Where is nodegit's package.json when installing -g globally?

ndastur commented 3 years ago

Still doesn't work using npm -g install ... Has it not been updated on npm?

marekyggdrasil commented 3 years ago

I worked it out https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/git-hours/issues/56#issuecomment-786991024

After new release 1.5.0, npx git-hours works again! Tested with node 14, macOS. The node version is probably quite specific.
