Nothing but a flashing cursor when I get ndb installed
I am running in WSL, Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS on Windows 10 1803 and so far can't get ndb to anything more than give me a flashing prompt once I get it installed (though that appears inconsistent and ineffectual at the moment).
I tried the following with my default node/npm install, then I cleaned and installed nvm and redid things there to get yet ANOTHER result. So, no ndb goodness for me on this machine at least (going to try my laptop in a moment).
Am I having an issue with my environment somehow (how to troubleshoot?) or is this ndb and what's going on?
Environment
$ node -v
v8.11.3
$ npm -v
5.6.0
I tried npm i -g ndb && ndb lib/ which is all I expected to need, but it just sat there so I tried the following (I've cleaned it a bit, but no relevant steps were omitted):
After first install attempt
rainabba$ ndb -v
[STUCK HERE]
^C
rainabba$ which ndb
/usr/local/bin/ndb
$ /home/rainabba/npm/bin/ndb -v
[STUCK HERE]
^C
$ node /home/rainabba/npm/bin/ndb -v
[STUCK HERE]
^C
Notice that I get a different result with the following 2 attempts to npm install -g ndb. In one case, there's an error with uglify-es in the postinstall script and in the other, I see puppeteer install and no errors. In either case, ndb does nothing for me. No errors, not log output, no windows. Nada.
rainabba$ npm install -g ndb && which ndb

Install nvm (cleanup a bit first), then repeat the attempt
# Cleanup previous attempts to install nvm using apt, which resulted in me seeing the message leading me to the script below

Thank you for your great report! Some build/install issues are fixed were landed in latest 1.10 version, it may help but most likely not.
It looks like pptr does not support WSL, you could check following links:
- https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22Chromium+revision+is+not+downloaded%22
- https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/1837
After migration to carlo I think that ndb might work if you have Chrome preinstalled. Could you give a chance to latest [email protected]?
Based on latest comment in puppeteer thread: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/1837#issuecomment-503481364
It looks like ndb might works well with WSL2.
