Please check it:)

[rbuckland]

Thank you @tm1o2 This i also encountered today.
The resolution above worked..

# unrelated, I run it like this
docker run -ti -v `pwd`/settings.ts:/app/settings.ts  -v `pwd`/out:/app/out docker.io/library/node-gitlab-2-github:latest

[Willem3141]

Same issue here. I'm not running from Docker. I just had to re-run npm install after doing the git reset described above, and then everything worked perfectly again.

[rbuckland]

@spruce - the Pull request where Ocktokit has been upgraded to v21 has broken migrator.
#221

Would you be able to check, it seems we are now missing something else - that is. Pull from main, and run

make build-image
make docker-run

will immediately fail ; what else are we missing ?

[TSaucier1]

Not using docker. Same issue.

npm version 10.9.0
node version 22.11.0

Just in case it helps narrow anything.

I rolled back to the commit before the octokit upgrade and it worked as expected. thanks for the tool.

[mschoettle]

#226 should hopefully fix this. At least I upgraded various octokit packages myself and have been running it for a few migrations.

[jarrah42]

I'm using npm@10.9.2, node@23.11.0 and I'm seeing the same problem still.

[scim037]

I'm using npm@10.9.2, node@23.11.0 and I'm seeing the same problem still.

Same with npm@11.3.0 and node @v23.9.0 and latest commit (a562e12)
This worked for me

git reset --hard 84a62dbcb9cc00e300dccab5dd87c1ad5a492f1d
npm i

[mschoettle]

Can you try with node v22? The Dockerfile is based on v22 and I have successfully run it with that.

node-gitlab-2-github/Dockerfile

Line 9 in a562e12

FROM node:22-bullseye-slim

[scim037]

I don't use Docker. It happens natively on the OS level.

[mschoettle]

That's ok. Can you tried it with node 22 on your machine then?

[scim037]

Sure

node --version
