Plone Volto - Create-Volto-App Unable To Install @plone/volto #21

Closed andreasma closed 4 years ago

andreasma commented 4 years ago

I tried to create a Volto app within my cloned Github repository github.com/plone/volto following the instructions in the readme file. I installed yarn and @plone/create-volto-app using npm. The command create-volto-app myvoltoapp failed with:

-------- output in the shell ---------

Creating myvoltoapp...

Success! Created files for "myvoltoapp" Volto app

Installing npm modules: @plone/volto

Error! Failed to install @plone/volto, try again.
undefined

---------------- end of output in the shell --------------------

I'm using openSuSE Leap 15.1 (x64) with installed nodejs8 from the openSuSE repos: nodejs8-8.17.0-lp151.2.12.1.x86_64 nodejs8-devel-8.17.0-lp151.2.12.1.x86_64

npm -v is: 6.14.4

@andreasma Volto supports Node 10 and 12. Those are the LTS versions. Node 8 is outdated. Please update your Node installation.

@nileshgulia1 @sneridagh @robgietema I am wondering if there is a way we can detect the node version that is used and return a nice error string instead of just breaking with undefined?

tisto commented 4 years ago

Just for the record. Node 8 reached its end-of-life in December 2019:

https://github.com/nodejs/Release#end-of-life-releases

So we will not put any effort into maintaining this. Two node versions are more than enough to maintain. :)

@tisto Yes I think a proper error message will be appropriate which prompts out on outdated node versions.
