Error: Cannot find module '‘global-agent/bootstrap’'

[Adem-Kri]

I am trying to build theia project using yarn but am facing 2 issues.

I cloned Theia repo but when building using yarn

kriouana@TUN MINGW64 ~/Desktop/theia (master)
$ yarn

I got this error related to some file called INSTALL.JS

error C:\Users\kriouana\Desktop\theia\node_modules\electron: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node install.js
Arguments:
Directory: C:\Users\kriouana\Desktop\theia\node_modules\electron
Output:
RequestError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND github.com

So after searching about this issue I found this

yarn global add global-agent
cd <clone_dir>/theia/node_modules/electron
node -r ‘global-agent/bootstrap’ install.js

but when executing the last line this came up

$ node -r ‘global-agent/bootstrap’ install.js
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:988
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module '‘global-agent/bootstrap’'
Require stack:
- internal/preload

its something related to node, install.js or global-agent

@Adem-Kri thank you for the discussion, can you confirm that you have satisfied all prerequisites in order to build?

I've never encountered build issues where global-angent/bootstrap had be explicitly added, do you happen to be behind a proxy (it doesn't seem to be able to connect to github.com)?

[Adem-Kri]

@vince-fugnitto yes I am behind my company's proxy but I have set the hhtp_proxy, https_proxy and global_agent_http_proxy.

and I am sure that all prerequisites are satisfied

[vince-fugnitto]

I believe the error ultimately comes down to @electron/get (which uses global-agent itself), perhaps the documentation it provides for proxy support would be useful. The documentation is also linked from electron itself.

I have already found the solution just I wrote the wrong quote ‘ ’ when I should use ' ',

node -r 'global-agent/bootstrap' install.js
