Hello @cwrx777! Thanks for sharing the logs and information, I'm sorry you are facing this issue. Could you try updating your npm version, as that is the only difference in versioning I can see. I am running 8.5.0, and I believe that will be installed with

npm install -g npm@latest

Hi @aaronchongth ,

I redownloaded and rebuilt rmf-web and rmf from main branch, the issue is still the same. I can confirm that I have sourced rmf workspace before running the rmf-web bootstrap script.

How did you do what you did?

[aaronchongth]

There might be some typos here and there, but I collected these using my history in my container. https://gist.github.com/aaronchongth/41f60f71ba5b5d95344a070640354bc0

Edit: Just to make it clear, this set of instructions builds rmf and rmf-web in a "standard" docker container, which means it is highly likely that the issue is some misconfiguration on your machine. I'll check around and see what could be the cause, based on your logs and output.

Hi @aaronchongth ,

The steps you provided is really helpful. I found out that the pipenv version in the environment created following your step is 2022.6.7 and in mine there was two pipenv installed, one in /usr/bin/pipenv (version 11.9.0) and another one in /usr/local/bin/pipenv (2022.6.7).

After uninstalling both and reinstalling 2022.6.7, the bootstrap script was able to complete.

Hi @aaronchongth ,
This has nothing to do with rmf-web. But do you have any idea on the cause of this error? I encountered this when running in my environment. I didn't encounter this error when running inside the container created earlier.

[aaronchongth]

I am unsure if this is related, open-rmf/rmf-web#607, but we can continue the conversation there.

Could you please mark this thread as answered?
