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:

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

@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.

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
