gulp watch not working

[SuperMasterBlasterLaser]

Hello.

I have been trying to use UI as it was written in these docs. However, it throws me these errors:

[10:31:10] Requiring external module babel-register
gulp watch[28196]: ../src/node_contextify.cc:651:static void node::contextify::ContextifyScript::New(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>&): Assertion 
`args[1]->IsString()' failed.
 1: 0x9afed0 node::Abort() [gulp watch]
 2: 0x9aff57  [gulp watch]
 3: 0x9a84df node::contextify::ContextifyScript::New(v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value> const&) [gulp watch]
 4: 0xb91b53  [gulp watch]
 5: 0xb926a2 v8::internal::Builtin_HandleApiCall(int, unsigned long*, v8::internal::Isolate*) [gulp watch]
 6: 0x1318979  [gulp watch]
Aborted (core dumped)

Why this is happening? Is there some kind of bug in UI?

I'm using Ubuntu Xenial

Answer

You need to Install gulp in order to use it
make sure you have node and npm installed
execute ' npm install --save gulp'

then execute gulp watch command to start the ui

I have installed as you instructed and now I have this error:

fs.js:27
const { Math, Object } = primordials;
                         ^

I think there are some errors in UI code itself.

Looks like this is a bug with Node 12 and Gulp 3+. stackoverflow I will take a look. Currently the work around appears to be using node 10.

[SuperMasterBlasterLaser]

Looks like you are right. I have just switched to docker

Closing since the issue seems to be addressed. Please re-open if you are facing problems.

The solution to this is to use a pre-12 version of Node (like 9.9.0) and do npm rebuild

The solution to this is to use a pre-12 version of Node (like 9.9.0) and do npm rebuild

but it says "To run it you need to have Node 14 (or greater) and Yarn installed."

@yanghaogn The original issue applies to v2.x of conductor which used gulp.
The newer versions (v3.3.+) does not use gulp and the documentation has been updated to reflect that.
