 Cobalt | * (for context, I'm packaging jaeger-ui and they only include vite and some other deps as devDependencies of the workspace member packages/jaeger-ui. The build fails on calling vite in the build script of the workspace member as it has a /usr/bin/env node shebang and is unpatched as a consequence of landing in packages/jaeger-ui/node_modules/vite/bin/vite.js.) | 20:31:25 |

|  n3tcat joined the room. | 18:18:22 |
| n3tcat changed their display name from Stephen D to n3tcat. | 18:28:47 |
| n3tcat | hai :3 I'm trying to package an npm package that depends on another npm package that itself downloads a binary. I am building that binary and want to put it into node_modules but I'm finding it's getting blown out. Here's my package.nix: https://github.com/scd31/tileserver-gl/blob/nix/nix/package.nix | 18:31:52 |
| n3tcat | Wondering if anyone knows the semantics of buildNpmPackage, i.e. where it would be getting removed | 18:32:14 |
 Marie | have you tried using preBuild instead of prePatch? | 18:35:20 |
| n3tcat | If I do, then it falls over in the patchPhase with tileserver-gl> npm error request to https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/releases/download/node-v6.2.0/node-v127-linux-x64-Release.tar.gz failed, reason: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN github.com | 18:37:13 |
| Marie | try npmFlags = [ "--ignore-scripts" ]; | 18:40:58 |
| n3tcat | trying nw | 18:41:57 |
| n3tcat | * trying now | 18:41:59 |
| n3tcat | * trying now | 18:42:01 |
| n3tcat | oh shit it seems to be doing things | 18:43:06 |
| n3tcat | ayyy making progress! | 18:45:07 |
| n3tcat | tytyty ily marie | 18:45:09 |
| n3tcat | actually I think I was a big premature. I think that breaks node sqlite | 18:49:41 |
| n3tcat | okay so it's still running but what seems to work is npm rebuild --ignore-scripts follows by the ln -s thing followed by npm rebuild | 19:05:02 |
| n3tcat | omg is worked | 19:16:08 |
| n3tcat | meowwwwwwwwwwww | 19:16:12 |
|  Charles joined the room. | 19:35:04 |
| Charles | are general typescript/javascript + nix questions okay here or is this room strictly nodejs? | 19:40:15 |
| Charles | or uh i guess maybe i don't know what actually "nodejs" is considered to mean | 19:41:20 |
| Charles | i'll just ask the question: i help maintain this out-of-tree package here https://git.afnix.fr/afnix/nix-zulip and somewhere between c58ada2eda15d0576e9a2ad74bd8f2318509a40f and 20075955deac2583bb12f07151c2df830ef346b4 of nixpkgs, the build started failing with this error despite nothing in this repository changing:

Subcommand of ./tools/update-prod-static failed with exit status 2: ./tools/webpack --quiet
Actual error output for the subcommand is just above this.
and i'm curious if anyone knows off the top of their head what this is about/how to fix it
| 19:42:50 |
| Charles | src would be https://github.com/zulip/zulip/tree/10.4 | 19:43:33 |
| Marie | maybe this? https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/59364 | 20:03:37 |
| Marie | considering c58ada2eda15d0576e9a2ad74bd8f2318509a40f has node 22.18.0 | 20:03:49 |
|  @aidalgol:tchncs.de joined the room. | 21:55:39 |
| Charles | oh good find, yeah that seems likely: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/10.4/tools/webpack#L18 | 23:23:23 |
| Charles | * oh good find, yeah that seems pluasible: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/10.4/tools/webpack#L18 | 23:23:36 |
| Charles | hmm, changing it to --no-... or just commenting that out doesn't seem to fix it | 23:28:03 |
| Charles | same error all three ways | 23:28:44 |
