Error while trying to create a project

[ahanabhattchrya]

Hi, I’ve been trying to create a project for a while now using this repo but I keep getting an error that prevents me to do so. For reference this is what the error looks like - ERROR: Stopping generation because post_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully Hook script failed (exit status: 1) I was wondering if there is a solution to this issue yet and/or if there is anything I should change locally to fix it? (If it helps, I’m trying to run it on a Terminal/MacOS)

I am getting the same error message (running macOS).

@ahanabhattchrya, did you get it working?

this project breaks now for anyone using the current Node LTS version 18

i'm trying to help a client make a build pipeline that converts their react components into there dash application, so I'm trying to figure out how to fix this; my current understanding: the Webpack and Webpack CLI versions needs to be updated to 5.0.0 that they support OpenSSL3 in the current Node. However, doing this breaks another dependency called webpack-serve which looks pretty much abandoned

does anyone else more familiar with webpack or react or dash know what webpack-serve actually does here?

Hey,

As I was facing the same issue I tried to find a temporary fix. One way to handle the error is to set the environ variable : NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

To do that you need to edit the _hook/post_genproject.py file

Add the following line before the execution of _execute_command('npm run build:js') at line 93:

1. Windows : _execute_command("set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider")
2. Linux : _execute_command("export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider")

Note this is a temporary fix that can lead to security issue.

Node LTS version 18

Just wondering, but would using an older version of Node help fix the issue?

It does fix the problem but exposes security issues.

Okay. Here is a short update. I managed to get cookiecutter to run by using an older version of node. @ridhwaanm is right about the security issues though. Currently using

• node version (v14.16.0)
• npm version (6.14.11)
