Unable to change theme

[georgeowell]

Browser:

Firefox Browser 72.0.1
Chromium Version 79.0.3945.79

What's the problem you want to solved?

I wanted to change the theme. I go to "meta" and change to any of the other themes.

What happens?

I am redirected to an error:

The theme is not changed.

Dang, that doesn't look fun at all. Thanks for posting this bug report so that other people don't bump into the issue. Could you post the Node.js version you're using? That error suggests to me that you're on Node.js 7 or earlier -- if that's true, could you upgrade to at least Node 10 and see if that resolves the problem?

I was using the version in the Ubuntu repos for 18.04 which is nodejs/bionic-updates,now 8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4 amd64 and horrendously old.

So I just tried with Node 10.16.1 and now I can't get Oasis running. I also get the same error with node version

oasis --open was failing with

Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

The module '/home/leo/git/oasis/node_modules/sharp/build/Release/sharp.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 64. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

- Ensure the version of Node.js used at install time matches that used at runtime
- Consult the installation documentation at https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/en/stable/install/
- Search for this error at https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area so I didn't know I had to run node rebuild. After doing that I can change the theme!
