Node2nix fails to install with nodejs-15 and nodejs-16

[chaoflow]

shell.nix

with import <nixpkgs> {};

let
    nodejs = nodejs-14_x;  # STILL WORKS
    # nodejs = nodejs-15_x;  # FAILS
    # nodejs = nodejs-16_x;  # FAILS
    nodePackages = pkgs.nodePackages.override {
      inherit nodejs;
    };

in

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  name = baseNameOf (builtins.getEnv "PWD");
  buildInputs = [
    nodejs
    nodePackages.node2nix
  ];
}

Failure for nodesjs-15 and nodejs-16 is identical.

npm install -g with nodejs-16.0.0 and npm-7.10.0 installs successfully. However there are no --nodejs-15 and --nodejs-16 switches yet. See also #232

node2nix --nodejs version options are simply aliases for command-line options that you can already use.

For example, without an alias you can also specify the Nix package name yourself, e.g.:

node2nix --pkg-name nodejs-16_x

For version newer than Node.js 10.x the standard options suffice, so there's no need to specify any additional options.

e73c616 adds a option for Node.js 16.x

I'm getting the same errors even when passing old nodejs version. Practically everything in elmPackages that uses node2nix is broken because of this issue in master and unstable in nixpkgs. This is script we use to generate nix expressions https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/compilers/elm/packages/generate-node-packages.sh

Is this the known issue?

update: got fix for elmPackages - NixOS/nixpkgs#152764 we were overriding nodejs by what ever we get passed in as nodejs attribute from nixpkgs - that was the reason for build failing.

However, Node 14.x won't be LTS forever. This will remain an issue, especially as newcomers are looking to use the latest LTS or newer.

[svanderburg]

The current release supports newer versions. However, Nixpkgs is still referring to the previous release.

I'm still in the process of updating Nixpkgs, which is quite a bit of work: #274

If you want to help, try repeating the process. So start with a node2nix installed without the script, then update the packages, then try to update all packages that are not in node-packages.json. This is actually the most tedious part.

[andersk]

The current release still doesn’t work with newer Node.js. node2nix reconstructs a package-lock.json file with lockFileVersion: 1; the newer npm tries to convert it to lockFileVersion: 2, and fails for lack of network access in the Nix sandbox. This is the error message originally reported in this issue.

Any update on this?

I'm facing exactly the same issue. With nodejs-14_x, I dont get this error (though I see some other issue) but with nodejs-16_x; I see the same npm WARN old lockfile The package-lock.json file was created with an old version of npm issue.

@chaoflow

Which version/commit of nixpkgs did you use btw?
