Postinstall script fails

[askoufis]

The postinstall script fails. This bug is present in v20230101.1.9 and potentially v20230101.1.8 (haven't tested this version).

Reproduction

1. mkdir foo
2. npm init (just to get a package.json)
3. yarn add @iso4217/json
4. Error:

   
   error /code/foo/node_modules/@iso4217/json: Command failed.
   Exit code: 1
   Command: node --unhandled-rejections=strict postinstall.js
   Arguments:
   Directory: /code/foo/node_modules/@iso4217/json
   Output:
   node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1031
   throw err;
   ^

Hey! Thanks for the issue! I'll get back to it in about 10 hours, if that's ok.

[askoufis]

Thanks for the quick response. Not an urgent issue for me, take your time 🙂

@askoufis FYI, it looks like this isn't going to be easy to debug. And also the package architecture is cumbersome (what was I thinking 1,5 years ago?!), which doesn't help. I don't have nearly enough motivation to do hard work after working hours :)

So, at the moment, the temporary solution is to use version 20230101.1.6 (the latest that's not affected by the bug). This version is now set to be latest, and versions 1.8 and 1.9 are now deprecated.

Apologies for any inconveniences!

If you have spare time and motivation to dig into it, I'd be very grateful. The bug may or may not be related to:

• data.json file not being present upon postinstall script;
• require(…) not working for some reason during postinstall script.
