Versions :
I had to fall back to nodejs 6.5.0 (possibly any before 7.0) to install Slap.
Some of my projects are using nodejs latest and switching between old version of nodejs and latest one again and again to use editor isn't a solution.
Guys, have a look at this https://github.com/slap-editor/slap/issues/405#issuecomment-376469394 perhaps it will help you too.
As you can see in the error message, that's a problem in the C++ source code, not a permission error. Besides, I already configured my NPM to avoid permission errors.
Right, I missed that. I had a look at slap's dependencies and it looks like they are quite outdated. slap depends on 'base-widget@1.1.0', which depends on 'text-buffer@9.2.7' while the most recent version is 13.14.10. I think it would be possible to perform a local build and use it to install on our machines but I don't know how to force a dependency of slap to use a more recent version of 'text-buffer'. Any ideas?
I updated manually the dependencies from the package.json
manually, but that doesn't work. I now have an error with v8-debug.h
not found. The problem comes from the v8-debug
package, which is present in the node_modules
folder when I run yarn install
. The problem is that I don't know why this module is installed by Slap, I tried to visualize the dependencies graph with two different tools and no show v8-debug
in the result tree...
Confirmed. Installed node 7.10.1 and was able to successfully install slap. Is this still being maintained?
the last commit was in 2016. it's clear at this point that it's not being maintained.
I wish someone would make a fork and maintain it, or be given ownership. (not me)
I've been finding lots of node repos that haven't been touched in 2 or 3 years and are not working according to readme files. seems like it should be easier to have multiple node versions installed - but I guess there is a problem for all the the node*path env vars? too bad this editor looks really cool - I'm not going to downgrade node to try it
See this issue, I have answered it, #414
If anyone is still interesting in this editor, I have a fork that runs under node 16(haven't tried 17).
My plan is maintain the project as open source/update the codebase as i get time.
Personally I like js more than lua/vimscript/emacs, so this editor seemed like nice change of pace.
It also uses less resources than VSCode
that's great to hear @ajstrand ! thanks a lot
I wonder if the original author is... even alive

Well at least they haven't been active on GitHub for the past year.
The project (and the author thereof) is very much dead, sadly. cf. this comment
I'm not able to install slap as the build fails when I install it. Here is the installation output:
