Not working with node 8.9.3

[Yearhouse]

When using dxwcmdesigns init i get the followinf error:

@Yearhouse - it appears that the current release of this repository was built and tested with earlier versions of Node (0.12 and 4.x). It looks like the latest Node 8.x doesn't work with one of the versions of one or more of the dependencies that this tool was released with.

For the dxwcmdesigns portion of the toolkit, this may be a simple update, but it'l need some testing and I'll need to check with those that built/tested and released the current version before merging it to master, but I have an attempt at an upgrade on the update_dependencies branch.

You could try downloading just the updated dxwcmdesigns utility from that branch here:
https://github.com/OpenNTF/WebDevToolkitForDx/blob/update_dependencies/wcm-design.tar.gz?raw=true
and then running npm install -g wcm-design.tar.gz (with sudo if on Mac or Linux and otherwise running as a non-privileged user) against this downloaded proposed update, from that branch. That proposed update to the dxwcmdesigns portion of this toolkit has an updated dependency (version #s) for graceful-fs and q modules, that may help with your use of Node 8.9.x. Note, this proposed update is only for the dxwcmdesigns utility so far, I haven't had time to look into the other pieces (the dashboard and dxsync utilities) with Node 8.x at this point.

I hope that helps.

I can't run the command "npm install -g wcm-design.tar.gz"

I'm running on:
npm -v 6.4.1
node -v v8.12.0

The above npm issues look similar to other npm install issues (with firewalls causing certificate issues during npm install) described in this npm thread here: npm/npm#7519

I downloaded the wcm-design.tar.gz file and install it correctly, but now give the following error:

@thezeeck - can you confirm whether you downloaded wcm-design.tar.gz from the above link (in this issue, the one on the update_dependencies branch) or the original one in this repo, that was built with Node 0.12 and 4 ? The one in the branch above was built specifically for the issue you list above.

The one from the update_dependencies branch appears to be 152635 bytes after download, where the original was 152547 bytes. If I install the original one from the master branch, in the root of this repo, then run dxwcmdesigns init then I get the same error you do with Node 8.12, but if I install the one from the link in this thread (off update_dependencies branch) then run init, it properly asks me for configuration params.

Can you try downloading from the following URL and installing again?
https://github.com/OpenNTF/WebDevToolkitForDx/blob/update_dependencies/wcm-design.tar.gz?raw=true

Full disclosure: I didn't build this particular open source utility, I just proposed the updated dependencies above, for use with newer versions of node. Let us know if you still have issues after reinstalling from the above link, and I'll see if I can find an owner, to look into any remaining issues.

Thanks, and I hope that helps,
..Mike

Also @thezeeck - can you confirm whether you were running the dxwcmdesigns command utility when you hit this (which is what this git issue thread was for) or the dxsync utility?

The above dcm-design link was to fix this issue for the user that reported it here, for dxwcmdesigns. If you're trying to use dxsync, that's a separate utility.

For dxsync, there's a proposed update to get that to work with newer Node versions here: https://github.com/OpenNTF/WebDevToolkitForDx/blob/master/TempPatch/dxsync-1.0.3-1.tar.gz

For the whole dxdashboard, there's a proposed update to dependencies (no code changes, just tweaked dependency version numbers) here:
https://github.com/OpenNTF/WebDevToolkitForDx/blob/update_dependencies/release/digexp-toolkit.zip?raw=true

I hope that helps
