In front-end, npm start exited without any info

[Tong-Chen]

When I try to install this version of eg, I download the zipped version of eg-react source code by clicking Code - Download zip in the eg-react repository.

Changing dir into front-end, and run npm install, with no explicit errors like below:

My npm version is 8.11.0, nodejs version is v16.16.0, and operating system CentOS Linux release 8.4.2105.

I searched this for two days but did not get any clue. I wonder if you could give some hints?

Thanks.

Hi @Tong-Chen what happens if you not use -d with npm start?

[Tong-Chen]

Thanks!

Running npm start would generate the following logs and exit. I added -d to check if there is some useful logs.

The build failed because the process exited too early. Someone might have called `kill` or `killall`, or the system could be shutting down.

My working computer has 16 G memory. I use top to watch the process and the node process only consumes less than 10% memory.

[lidaof]

Hi @Tong-Chen your computer is fine, I don't think it's a computer issue. I did test nodejs the version you used in Mac, which works fine...I need to find a machine with centos and do some troubleshooting...

can you delete your current eg-react folder, do:

git clone https://github.com/lidaof/eg-react.git
cd eg-react/frontend
npm install
npm start

also check here: https://eg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#example-commands-for-installation-on-a-rhel-system

[Tong-Chen]

I cloned eg-react in a new folder, and run npm install in frontend.

The first tiem I get

It seems like npm start has been killed. I am looking for the reasons.

[lidaof]

Hi, @Tong-Chen any luck in getting it working? I guess maybe we can schedule a time to do a zoom meeting to get this fixed? How do you think?

[Tong-Chen]

Sorry, I still have no idea to get it to work. I would be very thankful if we can schedule a time for a zoom meeting. Currently, there are 12 hours of jet lag from China, Beijing, and Washington DC. I am ok from 8 am to 9 pm (Beijing time). My Wechat id: ct5869. Thanks.

[lidaof]

Hi @Tong-Chen , great! Does Beijing time 11AM Saturday works for you?

[Tong-Chen]

That works for me! Thanks!

[Tong-Chen]

Sorry. I tried Zoom and found I could not use Zoom in China. Could you mind using Tencent Meeting or others?

[lidaof]

Hi @Tong-Chen I will add you wechat and figure it out together.

[lidaof]

Hi @Tong-Chen just like to follow up on this issue. I tested on our RHEL linux virtual server with node v16 and npm v8, which works fine.

$ node -v
v16.16.0
$ npm -v
8.11.0
$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)

[lidaof]

close for now, feel free to open new issue. thank you!
