Developing for D2

Dashboard
1

I thought I would fork and clone the D2 repo to my dev raspberry pi so I could poke around with the v-calendar request I made a few weeks ago, which appears to have hit a bit of a road block.

Following these instructions Contributing | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0 I got to the npm run build command and received the following error message The Cypress App could not be installed. Your machine does not meet the operating system requirements.

So I'm assuming that Cypress cannot be installed on the Pi, and my efforts have also hit a road block. Is this a correct assumption?

Cheers
Bob

  1. What version of Node are you running?
    1. The Cypress App could not be downloaded (Can't install via NPM I on WINDOWS 2012) · Issue #6315 · cypress-io/cypress · GitHub seems to suggest a use had this with Node 16, 18 but not Node 20
    2. Other comments are "are you behind a proxy" or "have network issues"?
    3. NOTE: I am using Node 18 on a Win PC and cypress installs fines
  2. cypress is really only for testing so I am surprised the error came up at the npm run build step - most curious.

  1. Node.js version: v18.20.2
  2. No network issues, no proxy.
  3. Last section of the log where things went wrong is as follows:

If using a Pi is not the issue then at least I can look in another direction. I'll try again tomorrow.

I am doing contributions for dashboard D2 on a Raspberry 4 all the time without problems. Cannot remember that I have had any issues related to Cypress.

BTW nice to hear that you want to try to contribute :+1:

Platform: linux-ia32

Is this maybe a hint (32bit)?

7

Might be relevant. For me it works fine on aarch64 ...

Yes, indeed, good pick up. I spun up a 64 bit Pi OS (and aside from JS heap issues which I solved) I now have a working clone of the Dashboard.

Thanks @bakman2
