Creation of custom node

simon_Piquemal · 23 Abril, 2021 15:51

Hello I just started to create nodes to help at my scale the development of n8n. To start I followed the tutorial proposed on Creating Your First Node | Docs
But here it does not work when compiling and launching n8n. Here is the error on my terminal:
PS E:\ordinateur\n8n node\n8n> npm run build

Welcome to the community @simon_Piquemal

Did you do the lerna bootstrap --hoist before running the npm run build?

simon_Piquemal · 23 Abril, 2021 16:20

yes I did that.

simon_Piquemal · 23 Abril, 2021 16:21

I forgot to say, I’m on Window 10

RicardoE105 · 23 Abril, 2021 16:33

My coworker @ivov uses window. Perhaps, he has a better insight.

ivov · 23 Abril, 2021 20:22

To install on Windows:

npm install -g windows-build-tools
npm i lerna -g
npm i n8n-node-dev -g
git clone https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n.git
cd n8n
lerna bootstrap --hoist
npm run build
npm run start

simon_Piquemal · 24 Abril, 2021 10:12

simon_Piquemal · 24 Abril, 2021 10:12

impossible to execute the first command line.

ivov · 24 Abril, 2021 20:12

Is that the full error message?

You may be missing administrative rights - try running PS as administrator.

I have partially solved different errors by downloading other packages

ivov · 24 Abril, 2021 21:38

Lerna manages packages for n8n - no packages need to be individually downloaded.

Just tested the command with PS on a new clone and it succeeded:

Is lerna bootstrap --hoist failing on a new clone?

If not, please make a new clone and run lerna bootstrap --hoist on it.

If yes, please run lerna clean and then lerna bootstrap --hoist.

Here is the main error that comes back for the “npm run build” command line

npm run build exited 2 in 'n8n-editor-ui'

simon_Piquemal · 24 Abril, 2021 21:52

simon_Piquemal · 24 Abril, 2021 21:54

Using your “clean” command I have the same problem as before.

simon_Piquemal · 24 Abril, 2021 22:19

It’s ok, I solved the problem by reinstalling node js. I can make the tool work. Thanks again for helping me. In the next day I will share my node creation.

ivov · 24 Abril, 2021 22:52

npm 7 introduced a breaking change blocking package installation when there is a dependency conflict.

Please set this flag:

npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

And re-run the commands starting from lerna bootstrap --hoist
