Build failed when verifying the setup

[Punpun1643]

Hi! I am trying to set up the project. However, while verifying my setup, I face build failure issue below:

Tell us about your environment

RepoSense Version: master branch (my forked repo)
OS and Version: macOS Monterey 12.2.1

Please include the steps to reproduce the bug.

1. ./gradlew clean build
2. ./gradlew test systemtest

What was expected to happen?
Both finish with a BUILD SUCCESSFUL message.

What actually happened? Please include a screenshot of the output.
Both finish with a BUILD FAILED message, with > Task :installFrontend FAILED

There seem to be many deprecated packages and there is a message stating that Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 7.0

I found a similar issue #1133 as I was trying to resolve this issue.
Based on the comments, I have tried the following:

1. Running RepoConfigurationTest.java, all test cases passed.
2. Running the app from code gradlew run, failed with the above-mentioned errors (failed for task :installFrontend). Report is generated in the reposense-report folder.
3. Generating report locally, report is generated successfully.

Based on this would it be alright for me to proceed to the next step? Thank you!

Thanks for opening this issue. There are already PRs available for some of what is mentioned:

• Frontend: update Node packages and fix code for checks #1762 - Update of node packages.
• [#1661] Upgrade to Gradle 7 #1780 - Upgrade to Gradle 7.

As for the installFrontend failure, I am not sure what is happening at the moment.

@yhtMinceraft1010X what's the advice for @Punpun1643 on how to proceed with the set up ?

Hi @yhtMinceraft1010X, thank you for the response!

I tried doing the necessary updates to match both the PRs mentioned. Link to the updates could be found in this branch
I think the Gradle upgrade seems to work. However, I am still facing issues on the task :installFrontend even after updating the node packages as per #1762

After updating the node packages, I made sure I did the following:

1. npm update in the cypress directory
2. Delete the package-lock.json file and node_modules directory and run npm install in the frontend directory
3. Re-run ./gradlew clean build at the project root.

These are the errors that I am still facing:

Is there any advice on how I should proceed? Thank you!

@Punpun1643 What's your Node version?

We currently use Node 14.

[Punpun1643]

@yhtMinceraft1010X, I'm using v16.15.0, should I downgrade it?

@yhtMinceraft1010X, I'm using v16.15.0, should I downgrade it?

Right now we don't have support for Node 16. It's still a work in progress so I suggest downgrading to v14.19.0

@Punpun1643 This is a follow-up comment. How's the setting up process at this point in time?

@yhtMinceraft1010X, sorry for the late response. I have managed to set up successfully after downgrading to v14.19.0. Thanks a lot for the help!
