Creating a containerized TabFern Build environment
People,
I have a few issues to respond to but before I did I thought I would get a reliable TF build situation going which I thought would clarify how I should respond to some of the issues. However, I had trouble following the stuff here:
https://github.com/cxw42/TabFern/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
I am getting an error on my Fedora Linux setup. I try really hard NOT to direct installs of software, preferring, if I possibly can, to install RPM packages - so, thinking that the problem was a Fedora-realted pkg problem, I thought I would get a Docker node.js container (ie Debian based) going so I could do the TF build in there instead of on my Fedora workstation. So I did that (although used Podman instead of Docker) - but I get the same error . . so I don't think it was a Fedora problem after all. Doing:
# npm install
I get:
Build failed with error code: 1

Am I missing something?
Thanks, Phil.
Phil, would you please attach the referenced log file, and the steps that got you to the npm install?
I think a containerized build is a good idea! The build system in general is #4.
