"login" doesn't seem functional?

[justinclift]

Just downloaded datahub-linux, made it executable, then tried to figure out what to do. 😄

The login option sounds like it might be what I want, but that's just throwing an error:

$ ./datahub-linux login
? Login with... (Use arrow keys)
❯ Github

I then just press Enter, as it's the only option, which throws the error:

? Login with...Github
> Opening browser and waiting for you to authenticate online
events.js:163
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn /snapshot/datahub-cli/node_modules/opn/xdg-open ENOENT
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:1050:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:193:32)
    at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:367:16)
    at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:80:11)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:104:9)

It's mentioning it's opening a browser to Auth with. No browser window is showing up though, and that error occurs immediately (likely related).

Any ideas? 😄

Hi, @justinclift thanks for reporting!
Seems like this issue was fixed in the upstream library (vercel/pkg#207) and we will check/update if so.

[justinclift]

@anuveyatsu Thanks. 😄

We have downloaded version 0.4.1 and the login problem is still present. The documentation on OPN#207 is not clear enough about how to get the updated version. I don't know if this bug fix is only enabled in npm install because npm is not working for us.

@offray thanks for raising this again and we'll investigate.

@offray it was fixed in pkg vercel/pkg#207 27 days ago, but we are using "pkg": "^4.2.2" which released on August 6. There is still no new release since it has been fixed. I will keep you updated

@justinclift @offray updated with new release of pkg@4.2.5, original lunix login issue fixed, but there is now different error related to location of executable xdg-open. So, temporary fix would be to copy across executable into /usr/local/bin/xdg-open, because pkg library looks for this location /usr/bin/xdg-open. There is an open issue in vercel/pkg#229. Once it will be fixed, I will update you. Also, I will update docs as well, it can be found here http://datahub.io/docs/getting-started/installing-data
