Hi.

I want to build Etcher but I cannot on my side.

What I did are,

make distclean # To make sure it starts from the scratch
npm install
make electron-develop # I think `make webpack` also performed in this step
npm start

The screen shows nothing but a gray screen without any widget.

The Developer tools say,

Then I could get the below error when I enter npm test.

~/Developer/etcher-test master* ❯ npm test                                                                                                                                                                 49s 12:24:58

make: *** [test-gui] Error 1
npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.

I have tried with Node.js 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, and 14 to change the NODE_MODULE_VERSION to 80, but doesn’t work. Also tried using npm rebuild and npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild, ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild, but all couldn’t fix that issue.

With Node.js 6 and 8, npm install even doesn’t work.

These all don’t on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS either.

How can I build it on myself?

Thanks in advance.

@lurch , Oh actually I was able to build using that npm install before make electron-develop when I was trying to with 1.5.86 ? version. Maybe that experience makes me don’t read the document anymore… 😅 Sorry.

[lurch]

The document I linked to says:

NOTE: Please make use of the following command to install npm dependencies rather than simply running npm install … make electron-develop

😉 🤷 🙃 Glad you’ve got it working now though.
