xanc and kode54: could you give some more information about your system? For example, could you verify that you're 100% up-to-date with pacman -Syu and let me know which versions of nodejs/npm you're using? I'd love to help debug these issues.

During build process, I get an error:

@christianbundy @dlandau could you update the package to replace the some files with the work @kode54 has done? Thanks.

I found the issue. Upstream needs to refresh their bloody package-lock.json. I refreshed my own using npm install, and it built just fine. It also looks like they were frozen (^) on v2.0.0 of sodium-native, and not the latest, 2.1.6. I could report this upstream, but I doubt they'll fix it in both git master and in the 3.11.4 tag.

For now, a workaround is to add a prepare step, or extra build steps, which rm the package-lock.json, and regenerate it with npm install, or replace it with a copy I'll upload to a gist for you:

https://gist.github.com/kode54/c5716af59ea979f6ef590598ebd09229

Incidentally, this isn't the first time I've encountered a Scuttlebutt related project where the package-lock.json being horribly out of date caused a build time breakage on one of my systems.

And sorry, it wasn't node-gyp, that was just what successfully built when it reached the error: sodium-native was pinned on 2.0.0 by package-lock, so it was failing to build that now that libsodium is up to 1.0.17 as of 7 Jan 2019.

Do be sure to read over the diff between the official and my file, first, of course, never know if someone may pull a trick like this to get their own special trojan horse embedded in a project.

kode54: Sorry that this is causing problems for you. Could you post the errors you're seeing? Also, if you're using any package variants (e.g. nodejs-lts-boron) please include that as well so that we can identify the incompatibility.

This now fails to build with a whole mess of errors about node-gyp.

Hi, @christianbundy May you update the version to 3.11.4? It is the newest release on github: https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork/releases/tag/v3.11.4

Thank you :3

Thanks @GergelyPolonKai, I've just pushed a new version -- could you let me know if the new version works better for you? Good luck!

As of version 3.11.3-1 I Patchwork fails to start:

I saw this module mentioned in a few SSB posts, but no real solution.

Oops, accidentally deleted my comment. Sorry about that.

TL;DR: as long as NPM is up-to-date you should be able to run npm ci. If there are compatibility issues, let me know and I can see about adding a fallback for older versions of NPM. Good luck!
