Failed at the electron-mksnapshot@1.6.0 install script

[arunattupurath]

Downloaded vscode source . Following their instructions to build , when I ran

scripts\npm.bat install

Failed at the electron-mksnapshot@1.6.0 install script.

the console also shows the below:

 D:\vscode-master\node_modules\extract-zip\index.js:35

I have installed extract-zip v 1.6.5 , this is mentioned in dependency. No Idea what is going wrong here. I deleted the node_modules and build file and checked again. Does not seem to work. I have asked a question at stackoverflow too.

here is my debug file. The error is at the bottom of the file.

Just as an afterthought , I thought I might just add , I tried install this in another fresh sample project of mine and it got installed without any problem. The latest version of electron-mksnapshot is 1.7.1 . Hence I tried changing dependency version in package.json of vscode . Same Error persists.

[chrmarti]

Is this with npm 5.x? Could you try with 4.x? This might be addressed by #30759.

[firelizzard18]

I'm running into this issue. I ran npm install npm@4.6.1 and then modified script/npm.sh to use the project-local version. It did not fix the issue.

npm 5.3.0

[firelizzard18]

I got npm.sh install to complete by trying to run code.sh, installing the package it complained about, running, etc, for about five packages. I didn't install them all. Then I ran npm.sh install and it worked...

I'm getting a different error from code.sh: no such file or directory, open '/Users/firelizzard/Source/vscode/out/vs/code/electron-main/app.js'. But that may be a different issue.

[revan-zhang]

@firelizzard18 I met the same error with the npm@5.3.0. After checking some dependencies, I removed the npm-shrinkwrap.json, it could solve this problem.

[arunattupurath]

Installed 4.6.1 . Didn't work initially. Took a fresh vscode source and built again and voila ! .. well what do you know !... That worked.
Thanks :-)

[firelizzard18]

I got it to work, without changing my global NPM version:

1. Clean everything - git clean -fdx
2. Try to locally install npm 4.6.1 - failed with lots of messages that I didn't read
3. Remove npm-shrinkwrap.json
4. Successfully install npm 4.6.1
5. Modify ./scripts/npm.sh to execute "$ROOT"/node_modules/.bin/npm instead of npm
6. Installed things - ./script/npm.sh install
7. Restore npm-shrinkwrap.json - git checkout -- npm-shrinkwrap.json
8. npm run watch
9. Something complained about vs/code/electron-main/main.ts (JS missing from out) so I touched that file and the watch task compiled it
10. Tried to run ./scripts/code.sh - failed because one of the modules was compiled using the wrong version of NPM
11. Rebuilt things - ./script/npm.sh rebuild
12. Successfully ran ./scripts/code.sh

[chrmarti]

Shouldn't take that much back and forth. You could also retry with npm 5.x since #30759 was merged.

[Jeyanthinath]

Thanks @firelizzard18 following your procedure I fixed the issue I faced

@chrmarti , I pull latest still with 5.X I have no luck

[chrmarti]

@Jeyanthinath What are the error messages you get? Does it work with npm 4?

5.3.0

@chrmarti It works with npm at install stage , but while brining up vscode it failed saying it needs to be compiled with wrong version

But when I goes with 5.3 it is not getting installed
