update npm installation docs with node requirements #2745

mrfoxie · 2021-02-19T15:20:51Z

Web Browser: Chrome
Local OS: Android 8.1
Remote OS: Android 8.1
code-server --version: 3.9.0 fc6d123

I tried to install on termux using falling commands

pkg install nano yarn
yarn global add code-server

after then when I execute the command code-server or code-server --auth none and then I open url in chrome browser I get this error

this is the log of termux while running code-server

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

jsjoeio · 2021-02-22T18:25:44Z

Hmm...I wish I had an Android device to try and reproduce this.

Usually when you see this error, it means VSCode isn't done building. I see the "error VS Code exited unexpectedly with code 0". But since you already installed code-server with yarn, it should be finished 🤔

I wonder if that failed in some way. Maybe you can check the logs from after running yarn global add code-server

jsjoeio · 2021-02-22T21:06:49Z

There might be some helpful info here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55834349/what-is-the-path-to-yarn-error-log-files

Playit3110 · 2021-02-28T15:49:24Z

I tried to install it code-server over codeserver.dev/install.sh and noticed a lot of old or broken dependencies. I tried to run it as well and got a simular result. The only difference is my remote OS. It is a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB

jsjoeio · 2021-03-01T17:27:54Z

noticed a lot of old or broken dependencies

Well that's no good!

Can you try following these steps and let me know if the result is the same?

Playit3110 · 2021-03-01T19:48:56Z

Im not quiet sure which steps i should follow. Could you link to the issue or the comment here?

jsjoeio · 2021-03-01T20:55:05Z

Sorry looks like the link didn't get added! Updated the comment

Playit3110 · 2021-03-01T21:05:17Z

I already tried that too but i got the error global is not a file when i executed yarn global ...

jsjoeio · 2021-03-01T22:48:19Z

Hmm..strange. Can you please post the logs or a screenshot so I can see if I can reproduce your error?

If you need a log, you have to help me where it is saved, because i have no idea

jsjoeio · 2021-03-01T23:24:04Z

Okay these might be dumb questions but bear with me.

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

Does apt upgrade need to be run with sudo?

Note, selecting 'cmdtest' instead of 'yarn'

Could that be an issue? Guessing it's using cmdtest which doesn't have a global command?

I found this potential fix that might work? (source):

sudo apt remove cmdtest
sudo apt remove yarn
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn

Playit3110 · 2021-03-01T23:40:05Z

Wow thanks a lot. Till now no error

jsjoeio · 2021-03-01T23:41:20Z

Sure thing! If it ends up working, feel free to close this issue!

Playit3110 · 2021-03-02T00:06:29Z

Sadly it still breaks when i try to log in. :(

500

VS Code failed to load. exited unexpectedly with code 0

Where can i see the logs of code-server

jsjoeio · 2021-03-02T16:58:45Z

Dang it! We were too optimistic too soon. Run code-server like so:

code-server --log debug

More info here in the docs.

Playit3110 · 2021-03-02T17:23:16Z

jsjoeio · 2021-03-02T17:34:10Z

Those logs aren't very helpful. They don't tell us too much :(

If VS Code is exiting, then I have to guess that there's a missing dependency or something. Honestly, we should have something like a doctor command which checks for all the dependencies needed to run code-server.

Hmm...a few things:

can you post your system info?
- OS, browser, application (i.e. Termux version)
can you post the dependency versions for the following:
- build-essential python git nodejs yarn

That might help us get to the bottom of this

code-asher · 2021-03-02T18:02:09Z

In addition, here's a list of required dependencies to build with yarn: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/v3.9.0/docs/npm.md#npm-install-requirements

It might help to to re-install VS Code Node modules and post the log if there are any failures. Maybe something like:

$ cd $(yarn global dir)/node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode
$ yarn --check-files

Great. All that looks fine to me. What version of node and yarn are you using?

node --version
yarn --version

And have you tried the suggestion by @code-asher ?

I have. It is the first log i commented above.

Here the versions:

jsjoeio · 2021-03-02T19:02:42Z

Ah, sorry missed that!

Hmm...I wonder if it could be an issue with your node version. I know I've run into funky errors with local development and vscode itself recommends <= 14.x

Can you try downgrading node versions to either something that is >= 10.x and <= 14.x and then reinstalling code-server?

Playit3110 · 2021-03-02T19:05:56Z

Im sorry to ask but how can i downgrade. I dont work that much with node

jsjoeio · 2021-03-02T19:36:47Z

No worries at all! I usually use a tool called nvm. Here's a ~1min video about using nvm: link

What you'll do is something like:

install nvm
install an older version of node: nvm install 12.16.1
set the default to that version: nvm alias default 12.16.1
restart your shell

Playit3110 · 2021-03-02T19:56:07Z

It works now. Thanks a lot. :)

Playit3110 · 2021-03-02T19:58:24Z

I think we need to install the right version of node to make it working for other people.

Playit3110 · 2021-03-02T20:13:25Z

One thing, is there a easy way to rebuilt code-server if it is already installed?

jsjoeio · 2021-03-02T20:45:30Z

Yes, we should update the docs. I'll change this issue to match that.

jsjoeio · 2021-03-02T20:48:57Z

One thing, is there a easy way to rebuilt code-server if it is already installed?

Hmm... sorry can you elaborate a little bit on what you mean? If you have it installed with yarn, you shouldn't have to rebuild it hopefully, only stop/restart.
