TileMill in server mode, quick crash. Excepted in `npm test` #2684

Hi, On one hand, TileMill run from command line crashes very quickly: ./tilemill.sh. 

[tilemill] Starting in server mode.
[tilemill] url.js:314
[tilemill]       this.hostname = toASCII(this.hostname);
[tilemill]                       ^
[tilemill] 
[tilemill] Error: Cannot convert name to ASCII
[tilemill]     at Error (native)
[tilemill]     at Url.parse (url.js:314:23)
[tilemill]     .../... etc

npm-debug-20190228-1545.log

On the other hand, when running npm test, it's long enough, about 10 min, to let me discover a bit TileMill on my browser through localhost:20009

How to solve this ?

@7tonin what OS are you running? It looks like you are using node@v6.10.3. Can you please try using node lts/carbon? (see README) What steps did you go through to install this latest version of TileMill?

7tonin commented 5 years ago
OS is linux Mageia 6 (4.14.100-desktop-1.mga6).
To install TileMill, I downloaded it,
cd ~/logiciels/
git clone https://github.com/tilemill-project/tilemill.git
npm install
npm install mocha
npm test

Installed pgsql 9.6.10 from packages and compiled postgis-2.5.2dev from sources, then installed At this point, things started to run ok. Almost.

Moving to LTS/Carbon

I uninstalled too old packaged nodejs and npm, then succeeded in compiling and install nodejs:

$ npm -v
6.4.1
$ node -v
v8.15.1

re-run

npm install
npm install mocha
npm test

Now it looks worse (!) I'm facing node_modules install problem, like with mapnik # npm install -g mapnik. Don't really now where to go, is it only feasible ? Looking toward Mageia7 RC...

On Mageia 7, node@10.14.2 is too recent for requested mapnik@3.7.2 installation_TileMill-mga7.txt

Finally installed ubuntu-14.04.4-server-amd64.iso in a VirtualBox. Did install TileMill v0.10.1 (according to https://tilemill-project.github.io/tilemill/docs/linux-install/) Set up my ubuntu vbox network visibility from my host with video tutorial VirtualBox host-only network on Ubuntu Server 14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXgytCOZ6c8 (May help too VBox manual ch6.7 Host-Only Networking https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_hostonly)
