Get tag info using tag name

I'm using isomorphic-git for a project and need to read the info of an annotated git tag.
My current code currently looks something like this:
import * as git from 'isomorphic-git';
import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as http from 'http';
const git_options = {
fs,
http,
dir: config.git_dir, //yes this is valid
};
const tags = await git.listTags(git_options);
for (let ref of tags) {
const oid = await git.resolveRef({ ...git_options, ref});
const tag = (await git.readTag({ ...git_options, oid })).tag;
console.log(`${tag.message} <${tag.tag}>`);
}
See the docs for more info on the different git functions.
listTags works fine (giving a list of tag names)
readTag fails with the error Object <oid> was anticipated to be a tag but it is a commit. (where <oid> is a git object ID)
For easy reproduction:
git clone https://github.com/dr-vortex/bsvm
cd bsvm
npm install
npm run test -- --install*
npm run test -- list -> error
*cloning the github repo fails for me. You will need to navigate to $HOME/.bsvm/repo and do git pull followed by git checkout main

Creating a Python Wrapper from a JavaScript code

Problem Statement
I wrote a JavaScript code to pull data from Uniswap V3 SDK (https://www.npmjs.com/package/#uniswap/v3-sdk) and I would like to open-source this code on GitHub because currently this isn't possible (for specific use cases). I am not an amazing system designer/programmer so please bare with me (I can only code in Python and barely understand JavaScript).
Essentially, I have a JavaScript code that pulls data and I wanted to wrap it in a Python code, so I can then take the data and do other things with the data (create alerts, flask app, etc.)
I am using Ubuntu, JS6, npm v8.19.2 and Node v16.18.1.
In my research, I found two packages that could help enable me wrapping this JS code in Python:
py2js - https://github.com/PiotrDabkowski/Js2Py
stpyv8 - https://github.com/cloudflare/stpyv8
Coding Attempt
py2js attempt
This package only works for JS5 and below, not JS6. Here is a quote from the GitHub that helps explain the workaround for this issue (which uses babel) https://github.com/PiotrDabkowski/Js2Py:
JavaScript 6 support was achieved by using Js2Py to translate javascript library called Babel. Babel translates JS 6 to JS 5 and afterwards Js2Py translates JS 5 to Python.
While trying this solution out, I am getting the following error:
/home/bobby/uni_balances/uni_venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/js2py/es6/__init__.py:10: UserWarning:
Importing babel.py for the first time - this can take some time.
Please note that currently Javascript 6 in Js2Py is unstable and slow. Use only for tiny scripts!

Python Code
Here is the python code I wrote using the js2py package. To save space, I removed the JS Code in the js variable below, but you can copy it from above and place it in the triple quotes:
import js2py
js = """
<<< JS CODE COPIED HERE >>>
""".replace("document.write", "return ")
result = js2py.eval_js6(js) # executing JavaScript and converting the result to python string
One other note, you will need to install babel as well to make it work. Babel will help convert the code from JS6 to JS5.
stpyv8 attempt
This package is maintained by Cloudflare, which makes this a much more attractive approach, but I am having difficulty installing the pyv8 package on my machine.
I was able to successfully run:
sudo apt install python3 python3-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-iostreams-dev
The probem is that I now need to run setup.py, which I can't find. I also below, if you look at the pyv8 installation I tried below, it does it automatically, but it throws an error. Seems like I am getting stuck at trying to run setup.py

Conclusion
I am not married to using the two options I mentioned above, but I would like to pull the data into Python from the JS code.
Also this is the output from the JS code that I need to port over into Python:

Connecting to MongoDB database

I am trying to connect to a MongoDB database.I have followed all the steps here https://youtu.be/EcJERV3IiLM but am getting an error.
The index.js file looks like this,
const dotenv = require('dotenv')
dotenv.config()
const mongodb = require('mongodb')
mongodb.connect(process.env.CONNECTIONSTRING, async function(err,client){
const db = client.db()
const results = await db.collection("student").find().toArray()
console.log(results)
The error I get is,
mongodb.connect is not a function
So it seems to be reading as far line 5:9 which is mongodb.connect in index.js and just stops.
I put this file index.js beside the .env file and beside that .gitignore which contains the the .env file. The .env file has the code which I copied from the Mongodb AtlSAS Cloud Service.
I also created a user and and autogenerated and saved a password. Both of which I placed in the string. And I put in the string the name of the database name "blah" The table/document is called "student". That's in the index.js code above. So the database name and the document name are blah.student.
I documented what I tried here, http://www.shanegibney.com/shanegibney/mongodb-setup/
The tutorial video is here, https://youtu.be/EcJERV3IiLM
I am on Ubuntu Linux.
I am currently running index.js in the terminal in a directory called mongostack, with
node index.js
but should I use,
nodemon index.js
And for this should I install nodemon and how do I do that?
Do I need to download it first and if so where do I get it?

I think you need to get MongoClient. Try changing:
const mongodb = require('mongodb')
to:
const mongodb = require('mongodb').MongoClient;

You have to create a MongoClient see https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/node/current/quick-start/
const { MongoClient } = require("mongodb");
const uri = process.env.CONNECTIONSTRING;
const client = new MongoClient(uri);
async function run() {
await client.connect();
const db = client.db("yourdb")
const results = await db.collection("student").find().toArray()
console.log(results)
}
run();

Electron doesn't add json file to application

This is my first electron/node application, I m trying to use a json file as a datastore. so I created a simple one index.json under the app folder next to index.js|css|html
I installed a npm package jsonfile that is loading just fine
When I try to load my json file the EOF is rised claiming that there is no json file, and I can see that using the DevTools source tab that my json file is not there ( not loaded )
I tried force reload from electron app menu.
Here is my files code that is reading my json
const jsonfile = require('jsonfile')
const file = '/index.json';
var json;
jsonfile.readFile(file)
.then(obj => json = obj)
.catch(error => console.error(error))
------------ Edit
correcting the path name to index.json or ./index.json rises the same issue

You can use the native fs (filesystem) module.
let path = "index.json"
const fs = require('fs');
const json = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path));

Thanks for your support
For me the issue was more about file system handling than electron.
All I did is to chmod my project folder to assure that I will be able to read and write into the index.json datastore
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/workspaces/electron/myElectronPrpjectFolder
Then for a better path resolution I used the basic idea used in electron archtype, It more error safe
const path = require('path')
const file = path.join(__dirname,'index.json');
var json;
var html = "";// The returned object.
$(document).ready(function () {
jsonfile.readFile(file)
.then(obj => {
json = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj));
console.log(JSON.stringify(json))
parseIssues(json.children);
document.getElementById('a').innerHTML = html;
})
.catch(error => console.error(error))
});
You can see that I m using JQuery in this snippet but it also works without JQuery.
in resume, better path resolve policy with granted priveleges on folder.
Thanks

Executing mongoimport inside code with Javascript/Node.js

Is there any library available in node.js/javascript that allows an individual to use mongoimport in code?
To my understanding, mongoimport is kinda like an .exe, which you have to execute it first before being able to use its text input environment.
Is it possible to execute mongoimport in my code and then parse whatever commands I need directly in my code?
My current algorithm involves:
fs.appendFile('log.txt',JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2));
obj is an object which specifies what functions to parse into JSON.stringify with the res method of node.js (which requests HTTP responses)
var obj = {};
obj.url = hostNames[i];
obj.statusCode = res.statusCode;
obj.headers = res.headers;
Then I use mongoimport to import this JSON doc into my MongoDB.
mongoimport --host localhost -db scrapeapp -collection scrape --file log.txt --jsonArray
This method is obviously inefficient. I would like to do all these steps in one going.
Help appreciated

This is how I do it in my code
let exec = require('child_process').exec
let command = 'mongoimport -d database -c collection --file import.json'
exec(command, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
// check for errors or if it was succesfuly
cb()
})
I exec the mongoimport command and then I do pass the cb next the code to be accesible, or if you do not use an asynchronous style you can do it synchronously with child_process.execSync(command[,options])

I'm in no way a node expert - but if you have existing JSON files, you could execute mongoimport in Node as shell command as described here or in various answers.
