Fix compilation against gazebo 11

[iche033]

Made a copule changes that allowed me to build gzweb against gazebo9 and gazebo11 on Bionic:

• ported a couple fixes from pull request Pin node-gyp back to fix GitHub Actions #192 and [deploy.sh] fix node-gyp failure on rebuild #191
• enabled the c++17 flag as suggested in issue Compilation with gazebo11 #184

I also fixed a link and gzweb version in package.json'

Update:

Instead making a PR against a release branch, I created a new gzweb_1.4 dev branch for patches made against the 1.4 version. Once these changes get in, I can tag a gzweb_1.4.1 release and update the instructions on http://gazebosim.org/gzweb.html.

great work on these build updates for Gazebo11 on Bionic

unfortunately, the patches do not work to compile gzweb for Gazebo11 on Foxy/Focal
any suggestions?

[Jaeyoung-Lim]

@iche033 I was following installation instructions on http://gazebosim.org/gzweb.html#install-collapse-1 but there seems to be some dependency conflicts between npm and gazebo11 (on bionic)

[iche033]

@Jaeyoung-Lim I'm using node v6.17.1, and npm 3.10.10. These versions seem to work fine and I installed them using nvm. I had issues in the past with the node and npm versions that come with ubuntu bionic. See if these versions work for you and I can update the installation instructions on gazebosim.org

@mis-eu Maybe it's an issue with node and npm version too? Could you also try node v6 and npm v3?

[Jaeyoung-Lim]

@mis-eu This works perfectly on gazebo11 on Ubuntu Focal.

@iche033 Thanks!

[chapulina]

How about adding some CI that tests against Gazebo 7 / 9 / 11, like this one on master?

https://github.com/osrf/gzweb/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yaml

[mis-eu]

@mis-eu This works perfectly on gazebo11 on Ubuntu Focal.

@Jaeyoung-Lim the build error is below
which version node and npm are you using to compile on Ubuntu Focal with ROS2 Foxy?
Failed with:
node v.12.18.4
npm 6.14.6

Also failed with @iche033 suggested:
node v6.17.1
npm 3.10.10

Failed to build on Ubuntu Focal/Foxy/Gazebo11 the https://github.com/osrf/gzweb checked out 1.4
with manually added both patches: eurogroep@696148d

I even installed Boost from source. Would inking the Boost lib to the gzweb build be required?

evaluation. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0053" for policy details. Use the
cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

For input:

@mis-eu Maybe it's an issue with node and npm version too? Could you also try node v6 and npm v3?

thanks for the suggestion @iche033
unfortunately still can not build using:
node v6.17.1, and npm 3.10.10

Build Error log is in comment above linked here #194 (comment)

@mis-eu Is the output and errors from the fix_build_gz11 branch in this PR? It looks like you're on gzweb_1.4.0 branch?

@iche033 that's right, in fact:

this branch fix_build_gz11 outputs:

> gzweb@**1.4.0** deploy /home/user/gzweb_fix_build_gz11/src/gzweb
> ./deploy.sh "-m" "-t"
Build a local model database.

while branch gzweb_1.4 outputs:

> gzweb@**1.3.0** deploy /home/user/gzweb_1.4/src/gzweb
> ./deploy.sh "-m" "-t"
Build a local model database.

Added CI for gazebo9 on Bionic and gazebo11 on Focal with nodejs versions 8 and 10. Builds are passing.

@iche033 thanks for the updates!
unfortunately, the branch fix_build_gz11 "build" does not pass on Ubuntu Focal/Foxy/Gazebo11
GzWeb GUI is loading, without functionality and without models

Also, I had to apply both fixes in order to build with Node 10.22.1

while building with Node 6.17.11 was deprecated for running Node on Focal

Thanks for the CI!

After jumping around some different node versions, I was able to build this branch against Gazebo 9 with v6.17.1 as suggested.

Once these changes get in, I can tag a gzweb_1.4.1 release and update the instructions on http://gazebosim.org/gzweb.html.

That would be great, thanks! 😄

I also tested against Gazebo 11 on Focal and it worked well with Node 6.17.1. (note that it isn't 6.17.11 - this version doesn't exist).

I'm going to merge this PR since it solves the issue for at least some of us, and CI is also happy.

@mis-eu , how about continuing iterating on your problem in a new issue?
