Platform SDK - Error at npm install

[Jean-Balteryx]

Hi everyone !

I'm starting to use the Platform SDK and run into this error when executing the command ayx_plugin_cli designer-install :

The error comes from the npm install part of the designer install.

I'm working in a python virtual environment with Python 3.8.5.

Did anyone had this problem and fixed it ?

Thank you for your help !

Hey @Jean-Balteryx,

I think I have seen this one, I had to downgrade my node environment. What version of node are you using? I am using V14.19.3:

My python --version:
Python 3.8.5

Happy to share other environment settings but cant think of any others.

Hi @IraWatt,

Thank you for your quick reply !

I'm using node 16.16.0. i'll downgrade it and retry !

@Jean-Balteryx I am also using the CLI version 1.0.2. I would also create a new workspace and plugin now you are on V14.19.3, the old workspace and tool will be made using the old node environment.

CLI = ayx plugin CLI ?

[IraWatt]

Yes 1.0.2 ayx plugin CLI

So the problem was about the versions, specifically node and npm. I downgraded node to 14.19.3 but somehow npm didn't get downgraded so I had to do it to the version 6.14.17.

To summarize, here are the needed versions as of today:

   - Python : 3.8.5

   - Node : 14.19.3

   - npm : 6.14.17

   - CLI : 1.0.3
