failed to build asar package

[LiveEmily]

Environment

• OS: Arch Linux
• nody-greeter version: 1.5.1

Bug description

When trying to build, packaging the asar throws an error having to do with python.

Steps to reproduce

Clone the repo recursively, install npm dependencies, run rebuild, run build.

Expected behavior

Package should build successfully so you can continue with installing

Seems to be an upstream error about node-gyp-bins. I'll look for a solution soon~

[cy1der]

Any fix yet?

[JezerM]

No, sorry, I haven't had time to see through this error. Also, it seems there is a PR trying to solve it in nody-gyp, but it hasn't been completed nor merged yet.

just trying to install this greeter same error

[JezerM]

Well, I fixed this issue by patching the asar package. This isn't ideal, and it's not the best way to do it as it should've been done in the node-gyp package, but it works. Tell me if it works~

Use the master branch and build nody-greeter again. Also, sorry for the late fix, I was very busy these 3 months xd

[cy1der]

Thanks, I will test it later today. Also, does this greeter work with themes for WebKit?

[cy1der]

Now I'm unable to run npm install.

Latest node, npm and node-gyp version

[JezerM]

@cy1der, nodejs v19 is not supported by node-gtk yet, as stated in their README:

Supported Node.js versions: 14, 16, 17, 18 (other versions should work but are untested)

So, I'd recommend you to use an older version of nodejs.

[cy1der]

How to switch to older version?

[JezerM]

Well, it depends on your package management system. If using ArchLinux, install the nodejs-lts-hydrogen package, which is nodejs v18.
