npx staticrypt fails

[cumbriasingers]

My standard build script:

bundle exec jekyll build && npx staticrypt _site/thisfile.html myuniquepassword --salt 9872346ef723ab374 -o _site/thisfile.html -f "_includes/extensions/password_template.html"

fails with error message

fs.readFileSync(...).replaceAll is not a function

This is the first time it has failed after the best part of a year of regular use. Has something changed?

Thanks for reporting - which version of staticrypt are you using? If you're on >=2.2 there has been some changes to the code in the past few weeks and lots of refactoring, an edge case bug might have gone through.

I tried to copy your directory structure but can't reproduce your issue so far. Where are you calling the npx command from, is that the root directory of your project?

I did noticed there was a function that didn't handle filepath exactly properly, I couldn't hit a bug with it but maybe that caused an issue in your case. I've made the function more resilient and added more verbose logging to the error you encountered - I've just pushed it to 2.3.1 on npm. Can you update and let me know how it goes?

If you need to have a working version asap you can also downgrade to <2.2 (~2.1.1), which is before the recent changes, but I'd be interested to understand what's going wrong in your case.

Hi Robin - I am also running into the same issue.

Coincidentally I was trying to debug the same problem only a few minutes before you posted your comment above.
I've just updated and I am still seeing the issue that the user above mentioned.

+ staticrypt@2.3.1 updated 1 package and audited 29 packages in 0.36s

staticrypt .\proveYourself.html <MyPasswordHere>
C:\Users\<MyUserName>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\staticrypt\lib\formater.js:17 .replaceAll(/^.*\brequire\(.*$\n/gm, ""); ^

Thank you for all your help!

Hi @AnzuTwo - thanks for sharing your details. Interesting to see the problem appears in a simple file structure as well.

Same question, are you calling the command from your project root directory? I don't see the npx in the npx staticrypt command, are you calling the a globally installed staticrypt?

The error you're posting is pretty weird for that version - I've moved the method in 2.3.1, and the line containing .replaceAll(/^.*\brequire\(.*$\n/gm, ""); isn't in formater.js any more (and it should also give a more verbose error message now). Are you sure you are calling the latest version when running the command?

[AnzuTwo]

Sorry - It looks like I was in fact using 2.3.0. I've updated to 2.3.1, I think. (As you can clearly tell, I am not at all a software developer haha)

I added npx to the command but I'm still seeing the same error. It does reference the new helpers.js file now though.

PS C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\<Folder>\new> staticrypt --version
2.3.1

PS C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\<Folder>\new> npx staticrypt .\proveYourself.html <Password>
C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\<Folder>\new\node_modules\staticrypt\cli\helpers.js:123 .replaceAll(/^.*\brequire\(.*$\n/gm, ""); ^

TypeError: fs.readFileSync(...).replaceAll is not a function

Got it! I think. What's your node version, is it lower than 16?

I could reproduce in node 12, it looks like String.replaceAll doesn't exist in this node version.

I've just uploaded the patch in 2.3.2 - let me know if that fixes it for you.

[AnzuTwo]

Node version is v12.19.0.

I updated to 2.3.2, tried again, and it worked! I have the encrypted file!

Thanks a lot for the help, this was fun. Very glad I was able to find this thread (:

[robinmoisson]

Awesome! Thank you both for updating & posting the detail of your errors, this is helping others too.

[cumbriasingers]

Better than awesome. All working perfectly this morning - thanks so much for your swift response. And, of course, for all the work hitherto!
