How to install code (VSCode, via AUR), hitting upath issue [SOLVED]

chrisco23 · 2018-04-30 18:30:49

Hi all,

Still fairly new to Arch (obviously) and I'm trying to install code (VSCode) using packer. I installed VSCode quite a while ago and I don't remember exactly how but VSCode is wanting to update from within the running program and I'm guessing that's not the ideal way to update. Also, I want to do a fresh install of VSCode on another machine anyway.

I hit this error:

error upath@1.0.4: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=4 <=9".

I google around and I find that this has something to do with upath, that there are workarounds if you are within package.json, and now (bottom of following thread), upath has been updated anyway.

https://github.com/rails/webpacker/issues/1456

I'm not working with any individual package.json file. I'm just running packer. Also, I don't see exactly how to update upath. My system is fully updated (with sudo pacman -Syu).

Please advise.

Thanks,
Chris

Check the comments on the aur page for "code" package, it mentions a workaround.

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean this one?

Also, until compatibility with nodejs 10.0 is fixed, you should be able to install nodejs-lts-carbon and build with that version instead.

I haven't as yet had the opportunity/need to mess with PKGBUILD. Is that what's required?

Also I notice the very newest comment speaks about the exact error I'm having. Maybe that poster also doesn't understand the workaround??

Haven't had a chance to put it to a real test, but installing visual-studio-code-bin seems to be working and VSCode is now running at 1.22.2. Marking closed.

Sorry for bumping, but anyone solved this?
I really like to run code instead visual-studio-code-bin.

Seems you need to rebuild nodejs-lt-carbon locally first , then it should work.
