Cannot use sample on new OS installation (see detail)

[tebeco]

TLDR: known bug, require to update at least parcel and lmdb
jump to "googling" section bellow

Expectations

• new windows installation
• install git
• install node
• DO NOT install python
• DO NOT install any VS related
• DO NOT install any VC++ related
• git clone https://github.com/authts/oidc-client-ts
• cd samples/Parcel
• npm ci && npm run start

Current behavior

Attempt one: Avoiding post install etc ...

• npm ci --ignore-scripts
• ci succeed BUT
• npm run start

❯ npm start

> start
> concurrently --kill-others "npm run serve" "npm run server"

Attempt 2: force

• npm install --force
  (same failure as "exceptation")

Attempt 3: force + ignore

• npm i --force --ignore-scripts
• install will work but start will fail just like it did for Attempt 2

Google time

That's a know issue that's supposdly fixed:
parcel-bundler/parcel#8152

Fix:

• Update dependencies to latest: only minor or patch, no apparent breaking change
• npm i --force (worked without --ignore-scripts)
• as quoted in issue: node -e "console.log(require('lmdb'))" should work to validate:

❯ node -e "console.log(require('lmdb'))"
{
  clearKeptObjects: [Function (anonymous)],
  v8AccelerationEnabled: false,
  bufferToKeyValue: [Getter],
  compareKey: [Getter],
  compareKeys: [Getter],
  keyValueToBuffer: [Getter],
  ABORT: {},
  IF_EXISTS: 3.542694326329068e-103,
  TransactionFlags: { ABORTABLE: 1, SYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT: 2, NO_SYNC_FLUSH: 65536 },
  allDbs: Map(0) {},
  asBinary: [Function: asBinary],
  default: {
    open: [Function: open],
    openAsClass: [Function: openAsClass],
    getLastVersion: [Function: getLastVersion],
    compareKey: [Function: compareKeys],
    keyValueToBuffer: [Function: toBufferKey],
    bufferToKeyValue: [Function: fromBufferKey],
    ABORT: {},
    IF_EXISTS: 3.542694326329068e-103,
    asBinary: [Function: asBinary],
    levelup: [Function: levelup],
    TransactionFlags: { ABORTABLE: 1, SYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT: 2, NO_SYNC_FLUSH: 65536 }
  },
  getLastVersion: [Function: getLastVersion],
  levelup: [Function: levelup],
  noop: undefined,
  open: [Function: open],
  openAsClass: [Function: openAsClass]
}

• that seems to be a clean stdout and not stderr => all good ?
• npm run start => WORKS !
