npm run setup errors on macOS and latest stable npm and node

[MaeseppTarvo]

I am on macOS and these are my npm and node versions:

npm --v
6.9.0
node -v
v12.3.1

This is the log I get if running npm run setup as mentioned in documentation.

I also tried using node v10.16.0I and npm 6.9.0. Also tried using Yarn but I still run into warnings/errors. Which should be the latest version?

Can you point me to the right direction? Since the documentation requirement says node9.3.0 + and npm@5.5.0 + I thought that using newest stable versions would be fine, correct me if I am wrong.

Removing the package-lock.json file and running yarn install seems to fix the problem. Now just getting some cli-plugin deprecation warnings.

Hi @MaeseppTarvo, it seems that the install error is coming from iltorbdependency (which is not compatible with node 12 in iltorb 1.3) but it's an optional dependency so it won't break the install. Just ignore the error 😉

You can either downgrade to node v11 if you don't want this error or just ignore it during deps install with node 12.

@kefranabg Okay, thank you very much for responding so quickly. I just realized that if I use yarn, the setup script won't run and if running it manually "yarn run setup" then it is going to uninstall all packages and installs them with npm and runs into errors again.

Is there a way to run other setup scripts than npm install? To get the new repo etc..

Anyway, I am gonna try to use the node v11 and hope the best 🙂

[kefranabg]

I'll do a PR to update iltorb dependency so you'll be able to install bento-starter with node v12 without errors 😉

[MaeseppTarvo]

Thank you very much, can't wait to get it to work 😊.

Can you also tell me, is there a way to run other setup scripts than npm install? To get the new repo etc..

Not sure to understand your question, but you can avoid npm run setup script and run npm install. You can change the remote git origin whenever you want

[MaeseppTarvo]

The only command I want to avoid is npm install because I am trying to use yarn. But I want to run scripts that are in package.json so it will ask if I want to start new repo, removing useless resources etc

[kefranabg]

You can use npm run setup, remove node_modules and install dependencies again with yarn then
