Website pitsby demo is empty

[m-cisse-easy-live]

Hello,

I installed the repository and followed the instructions below to generate a build of the demo :

• rm -rf ./node_modules
• npm i
• rm -rf ./dist
• npm run build
• npm run docs

And when I launch the application with serve (command: cd docs/ && serve .) then my page is empty and in console I get this :

My environment :

• node 18.17.1
• npm 9.6.7
• Windows 10

Hi, @m-cisse-easy-live! How are you?

I've just simulated your steps and I think I've found the issue. Try to change your Node version to 16.x
Tip: To handle multiple versions of Node, I use NVM

The environment that works for me is:

• Node 16.20.2
• NPM 8.19.4
• Mac Ventura 13.5

Let me know if it works for you 🙏

Hello @rafaelcamargo,

Fine and you ?
Sorry for the late reply.

I tried with the following configuration:

• Node 16.20.2
• NPM 8.19.4
• Windows 10

Do you think I should try it on a Linux environment?

Hey, in fact, the only variable that seems different regarding the environment is Windows. Unfortunately, I don't have a machine with Windows to run some tests. However, as far as I know, Windows now has the ability to offer a Linux environment: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install. Have you tried this? I think it could be very helpful.

I had a Linux Debian 11 server (bullseye) and it works fine. But when I ran the npm run build command, I got the error: ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED and I had to activate the node option: export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider to run the npm run build command correctly.

Update (02/10) : I tried on my Windows 10 environment with the export option NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider and it still didn't work. I have the impression that the library is only supported in a Windows environment.

Since I haven't ever tried to run this project on Windows, you're likely right, my friend. Some time ago, I heard about an npm package called cross-env that might fix the issues between operating systems. If I get a Windows machine, I'll try to do some tests with it.
