Unable to build au2 on windows

1

I want to contribute a PR to AU2.
but I’m getting errors on fresh build without any changes.

googling the error did not helped.
anyone else got the same error? how did you fix it?

From the error message:

error TS6369: Option '--build' must be the first command line argument.
ERR! failed

The build script of it looks like this

    "build": "tsc -b; tsc -b ./tsconfig.cjs.json",

it seems a bit weird. Maybe modify it in your local to

    "build": "tsc -b ./tsconfig.cjs.json",

and try again?

after fixing that like you suggested + same fix in an other sub package,
this phase passes, but after that: new errors appears.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with my setup.
should I have tsc installed globally?
is the master branch the one I should try to build?

ahh I see, the min node version is 15 (but maybe 14 should work too … and we need to update the doc for this)

wow… it’s actually already written in the docs.
https://docs.aurelia.io/community-contribution/building-and-testing-aurelia

I’m sorry I didn’t see that before.

unfortunately, that didn’t help.
got the same errors as before.

for now - I just deleted the test\benchmarking-apps folder locally.
and everything else builds fine.

I have 2 windows machines, 1 works fine and the other also throwing the same thing. Will investigate this :+1:

Updating to latest nodejs, clearing caching and deleting plus npm ci dependencies worked for me

There’ 2 packages that has the build script that looks like this:

    "build": "tsc -b; tsc -b ./tsconfig.cjs.json",

When running the build script at the root level, I got this:

ERR! > tsc -b; tsc -b ./tsconfig.cjs.json
ERR! error TS6369: Option '--build' must be the first command line argument.

After deleting tsc -b; in the build script to get rid of that error, I got this error:

ERR! > tsc -b ./tsconfig.cjs.json
ERR! src/index.ts(2,96): error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module '@benchmarking-apps/test-result'. 'C:/Projects/aurelia-enhancement/test/benchmarking-apps/test-result/dist/cjs/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
ERR!   Try `npm i --save-dev @types/benchmarking-apps__test-result` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module '@benchmarking-apps/test-result';`

So I changed the build script to this

    "build": "tsc -b && tsc -b ./tsconfig.cjs.json"

to make it work. I didn’t set this up so I’m not exactly sure why it’s in this way, but that should unblock you :smiley:
