Installing “fountain@0.8.3” fails without git installed

[Nyhde]

Hi,

I've been trying to install the fountain package for Atom for the past few days, and I'm starting to feel like I've exhausted pretty much all options I can think of. I'm running Atom x64 in portable mode on a Windows 10 laptop, but I've also tried everything on the version with an installer, and the same issue reoccurs.

Atom itself seems to be running fine, and installing other packages seems to be working, but of course it's the one package in which I'm actually interested that's causing me the most trouble.

When I start Atom and open up Setting/Install, search for Fountain, and try to install fountain 0.8.3, the Install bar seems to be loading for a while. And finally I simply get a red error message.

The error log file looks like this, and I'm having trouble deciphering it:

My question is, what should I do to get fountain working? The idea of being able to write Fountain and being able to export PDFs from one application seems appealing to me.

Could anyone help me, please?

Thank you for your time.

[superlou]

This seems to be an issue with fetching package metadata for requirejs. It also might be related to #68. I was able to recreate this on Windows 10 with Fountain 0.8.3 and Atom 1.51.0 x64. Are you on a corporate or other filtered network? Any chance https://gist.github.com/taoyuan/bfa3ff87e4b5611b5cbe might be related?

[superlou]

Something interesting, in package-lock.js, only one dependency is different than all the others:

fountain-atom/package-lock.json

Lines 343 to 346 in e3157d3

	"text": {
	"version": "github:requirejs/text#3f9d4c19b3a1a3c6f35650c5788cbea1db93197a",
	"from": "github:requirejs/text"
	},

All other dependencies look something like this:

fountain-atom/package-lock.json

Lines 362 to 366 in e3157d3

	"underscore": {
	"version": "1.9.1",
	"resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/underscore/-/underscore-1.9.1.tgz",
	"integrity": "sha512-5/4etnCkd9c8gwgowi5/om/mYO5ajCaOgdzj/oW+0eQV9WxKBDZw5+ycmKmeaTXjInS/W0BzpGLo2xR2aBwZdg=="
	},

I wonder if git on Windows is failing to resolve the dependency in the same way as on Linux, or maybe on some networks?

[superlou]

It's not explicitly a Windows 10 (version 2004) thing, since it just worked on my personal laptop, though it did take a long time to resolve. I do have git for Windows installed on this machine.

The Github dependency for "text" is coming from afterwriting:

https://github.com/ifrost/afterwriting-labs/blob/9c30b196a889f340cbe5b74554fe45240aeea5b6/package.json#L65-L76

[Nyhde]

Are you on a corporate or other filtered network?

I've now tried installing the Fountain package on several different networks, and the result is always the same.

[trochitv]

Same issue here. Would be interested in a solution as well.

[superlou]

Same issue here. Would be interested in a solution as well.

@trochitv, are you on Windows?

[trochitv]

Wow that was quick.
Yes I am.

[superlou]

Unfortunately, we've been unable to find a fix for this. The only thing in common seems to be that it happens on Windows and seems to be related to how the Afterwriting plugin pulls in the "text" package. I thought it was related to https://gist.github.com/taoyuan/bfa3ff87e4b5611b5cbe, which mentions a possible work around, but I haven't been able to reliably recreate the issue to try it, since I'm usually on Linux.

[trochitv]

I see. Seems I have to move to Linux ^^

[trochitv]

Just recreated the issue on Ubuntu with a fresh install of atom.

[superlou]

I just checked again on Linux Mint 19.3. I was able to install both via the GUI and apm.

lsimons@bestever:~$ apm install fountain
Installing fountain to /home/lsimons/.atom/packages ✓

I'm still tentatively convinced it has something to do with resolving ssh://git@github.com/requirejs/text.git on some networks, but I don't know a better way to debug it. For a sanity check, can you double check if git runs from your command line? Does the following clone the text repo?

git clone ssh://git@github.com/requirejs/text.git

The issue seems very similar to this.

[fhisch]

I was having an issue installing and found this thread. Per @superlou 's suggestion, I made sure a command-line accessible git was installed, which I got from here: https://git-scm.com/download/win

After installing it (and opening Atom fresh), I was able to install the fountain package. I hope this helps.

[superlou]

@trochitv Any chance that installing git as @fhisch did solves it?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure a work around since it's because of Afterwriting's dependencies. I created an issue ticket with afterwriting, but I think we would first need requirejs/text to cut a release of the trunk to npm.

[trochitv]

Sorry for not getting back to you, and thank you for your time.

You are correct. I am not working with git (yet) and was not aware that a command-line accessible git was necessary for this package to function until your proposed sanity check. I then went ahead and installed git, but didn't get around to test again on a rebooted machine until now. It is installed.

Thank you very much again!

[trochitv]

Sorry, to bother you again. I thought I could tackle this one myself, but aparently I can't, altough this is most likely a rookie mistake ... again:

The syntax highlighting works perfectly fine now, but neither the preview, nor the exported pdf seems to be created when the action is launched. It says so with a green checkmark, but the atom pdf viewer opens blanc and when I try to open the pdf with a different viewer it seems to not have been created at all. Neither the preview, nor the export pdf.
Do I need to install something again to make the afterwriting part work?

[superlou]

@trochitv, since that seems like a new issue, could you create a new one for us to track it in? Please include an example of your script that demonstrates the bug, and a screenshot or two might help us.

[trochitv]

will do.

[trochitv]

I have done so.

[jrbostic]

@superlou Sorry, I haven't had a dev environment to work on this project for a while. Just did a fresh install of Atom on my Windows laptop, and tried to install the atom fountain package. It looks to me that sortable JS needs to drop or bump versions:

"Object.assign was not transformed during the build of sortablejs, so it won't work in browsers where this does not exist (for example IE11). Please downgrade your version to 1.10.2 to keep supporting <=IE11 or upgrade to >2.0 where IE will no longer be supported."

We're referencing a tag on sortablejs that doesn't exist. Try targeting 1.10.2

@jrbostic, good point, and we should probably have an issue for that. I think the root issue is still that "requirejs/text" dependency from github.

[jrbostic]

@superlou Perhaps... but what strikes me as odd about that is that "undefined" in the stacktrace on that "npm ERR!" line... is that's where "git" would have been interpolated. I mean... a project wont build with a non-existent dep version, right? I'm wondering if we aren't being mislead/tricked by something here. The solution can't be to install git. Atom is broke, if that's the case. Anyway... a non-existent dep is something in the way, in my mind. Clear that out and we may be looking at a different error. Idk

[jrbostic]

@superlou Oh, okay... I'm catching up. That afterwriting dep.... that's where the problem is coming in. Do you think some kind of local override could halt the attempt at resolving the dep there? Like, what's done here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15806152/how-do-i-override-nested-npm-dependency-versions

Also... may be able to figure why it was added like that in this PR: https://github.com/ifrost/afterwriting-labs/pull/133/files ... then potentially offer a solution.

Or downgrade Afterwriting to before these commits, for now?

[superlou]

I've been trying to get master up to the latest Afterwriting to solve #110. Turns out that the confirmation pop-up API has changed since we wrote it, and I can't figure out how to make your tests work with the new asynchronous API. That said, I don't think that will fix that dependency, and maybe something like overriding the nested NPM dependency might work? It feels a little gross.

[superlou]

With ifrost/afterwriting-labs#136 resolved, we just need to wait for a new Afterwriting release and fix the test cases. The code itself in master should already be working.

The change has been released in v1.17.3 and it's available in NPM.

@jrbostic Is there any chance you could take a look at those test cases on master? The ones related to the new message box API are failing, but if I try to use the old API, I had other problems.

[jrbostic]

@superlou Would be happy to! But I'll need a window extending through this weekend. Still not set up to work on the project and haven't seen the API changes yet. These are dialogue windows that pop up during install and when rendering to pdf?

[superlou]

@jrbostic I think just the ones that happen when rendering to PDF, though I didn't know enough about them to look for others. Take as much time as you need. It looks like we managed to scratch the itch for a few people that needed it using the master, and this is a volunteer project. Have a happy holidays!
