Hi @AlanaAckermans . Thanks for reporting this. Do you have this issue with both Pymakr and Pymakr - Preview? Both are available in the VSCode store.

If so, can I ask you to post your logs from VSCode? You can open them by clicking Help -> Toggle Developer Tools.

Hi @jakobrosenberg, I indeed have this issue with both pymakr extensions. These are the logs from VSCode :

Similar issue here. Installing Node.js (v18.8.0) seems to fix the issue and "Create project" works. @AlanaAckermans try installing a version of node.js and see if your problem persists?

@jakobrosenberg if node.ds is a dependency maybe it should be listed in GET_STARTED.md and/or README.md?

[jakobrosenberg]

@G234i it used to be a dependency, but it shouldn't be anymore.

EDIT: there's a mention here https://github.com/pycom/pymakr-vsc/blob/next/FAQ.md#do-i-need-node

A quick look at AlanaAckermans's logs - something is calling "node -v", and indeed src/PyMakr.js contains that on line 111.

So I guess that there are still some leftover calls made towards node.js in the code.

PS: I also believe that I saw some "npm" calls in the code and that would be another node.js dependency, unless it is somehow installed standalone by the pymakr extension?

[jakobrosenberg]

@G234i well spotted. That line is actually supposed to detect if node is present and if not, then use prebuilt binaries. It seems it throws an error when node isn't detected.

I've published a new fix on the preview-branch. If it works I'll push it to the stable branch.

I can't test it locally, but it's available on v2.25.2 .

[G234i]

I can confirm that with v2.25.2 the project creation process works after uninstalling node.js. PS: It also works with node.js aswell.

[jakobrosenberg]

Thanks @G234i I'm delighted to hear that. And thanks again for catching spotting the culprit. 😊

[jakobrosenberg]

I'm closing this as resolved as the fix is not available in the preview version.
