We Keep Coding

Can't open VS Code on Ubuntu

Since today, I can't open vs code on both App shortcut and Terminal.
When I try to run any command related to VS Code like code, code --version and etc. I get this error:

Try to install the minimist npm package globally with

Accidentally removed some packages. Solved via reinstalling VS Code.

Deplopyment Error on Vercel: Cannot find module '/vercel/workpath0/.next/server/scripts/build-rss.js'

I have a package.json script like:
{
"export": "next export",
"build": "next build && npm run export && npm run build:rss",
"build:rss": "node ./.next/server/scripts/build-rss.js",
"start": "next start",
}
It has build:rss which points to ./.next/server/scripts/build-rss.js but it cannot find it on Vercel. How do I point it correctly on Vercel? I get the following error & cannot deploy my site:

I tried asking Vercel support but they said:
I recommend doing something like this → https://github.com/pacocoursey/paco/blob/master/package.json. I'm afraid we do not provide complete code-level support for users on the Hobby plan.
Not sure the link is relevant :(

I had to change server to serverless to make it work on Vercel :)

Unable to deploy Solidity contract to Rinkeby network (Invalid asm.js: Invalid member of stdlib)

I've been learning Solidity using this course by Stephen Grider and it's been going well until now, where I am trying to deploy my code to the Rinkeby test network.
For reference, I am using Node version 11.15.0 with npm version 6.7.0 with these dependencies:
"dependencies": {
"ganache-cli": "^6.4.3",
"mocha": "^6.1.4",
"nan": "^2.14.0",
"scrypt": "^6.0.3",
"solc": "^0.4.25",
"truffle": "^4.1.15",
"truffle-hdwallet-provider": "0.0.4",
"web3": "^1.0.0-beta.35" }
I have spent hours switching between versions of Node.js, npm, and all sorts of combinations of the dependencies, from the most current versions to the versions specified in the course. While I am getting a multitude of issues, the most prominent two seem to be
(node:32436) V8: C:\Desktop\solidity\inbox\node_modules\solc\soljson.js:3 Invalid asm.js: Invalid member of stdlib
and

My question would be are there any fixes for either of these issues based on my code, or is there a simpler way to deploy to the blockchain? Thank you in advance.

You probably meant https://rinkeby.infura.io/... (You're missing the https://.)

I am following the same tutorial as the OP. If you are using node v14.15.4 and npm v6.14.10, I would like to confirm that the following package.json solved the issue:
{
"name": "inbox",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"ganache-cli": "^6.4.3",
"mocha": "^6.1.4",
"solc": "^0.4.25",
"truffle-hdwallet-provider": "0.0.4",
"web3": "^1.0.0-beta.35"
}
}
Then rebuild your dependencies by deleting your node_modules of your project, then run
npm install

There may be a problem with the version of the relevant library file, please run the following command.
npm install solc
My npm version is 7.20.3

In my case, the problem was that in the https://infura.io site dropdown what I selected was MAINNET instead of RINKEBY which is an ethereum test network.

Loading React Native: UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Cannot find module 'View'

I'm trying to contribute to a testing library. The library should provide a wrapper for react-test-renderer like react-native-testing-library does.
In order to see if my code worked I wrote a simple unit test using the code I wrote for the library. Since this was the first test for React Native I added react-native as a dev dependency together with metro-react-native-babel-preset. Furthermore, I added the preset to babel.
{
"presets": [
[
"env",
{
"targets": {
"browsers": ["last 2 versions", "safari >= 7"]
}
}
],
"react",
"module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"
]
}
The library does its assertions using tape.
Now, every test (npm test) throws the error:
> node -r babel-register -r babel-polyfill source/test
/path/to/node_modules/babel-core/lib/transformation/file/options/option-manager.js:328
throw e;
^
Error: Couldn't find preset "module:metro-react-native-babel-preset" relative to directory
When I remove the preset from the babel config, I get the error:

How can I get React Native components to run in my test in a library (and outside of an expo init or react-native init project?
EDIT: I found out that the repo is using Babel 6, which is why the metro preset doesn't seem to work. So I exchanged it for babel-preset-react-native and now I'm back to the initial error that View can't be found.
EDIT 2: package.json

"tape": "4.10.1"
}
EDIT 3:
Sorry, apparently I didn't include my code, even though it is a helpful for solving this problem. It's pretty basic. I'm just trying to render a <View /> using ReactTestRenderer.
import TestRenderer from 'react-test-renderer';
import { Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { describe } from 'riteway';
describe('renderReactNativeComponent', async assert => {
const text = 'Foo';
const component = TestRenderer.create(
<View>
<Text>{text}</Text>
</View>
);
console.log(Text);
assert({
given: 'A React Native component',
should: 'return a working react test renderer instance',
actual: component.findByType('text'),
expected: text
});
});

According to the docs, "Starting from react-native version 0.38, a Jest setup is included by default when running react-native init.".
And
"react-native ships with a Jest preset, so the jest.preset field of your package.json should point to react-native. The preset is a node environment that mimics the environment of a React Native app. Because it doesn't load any DOM or browser APIs, it greatly improves Jest's startup time."
The point is that Jest is supposed to work with React-Native, and riteway isn't. When you run react-native init the following dependency is added: "jest-react-native". And a jest preset is added to package.json:
"jest": {
"preset": "react-native"
}
Apparently there isn't any preset for riteway yet.

Remove node modules and install again
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

You are not returning anything, You need to return a "View"

You might want to just use the suggested example in https://reactjs.org/docs/test-renderer.html just to make sure nothing wrong with code you have written, then add up your own logic to improve it (Just an idea to debug it). May be add it up in https://snack.expo.io? or github, I will help you debug.

Node js express.compiler error

I am currently working on an express.js Webapp, Im working off the boilerplate app that comes with MS Webmatrix. I am able to run the app on my computer but when i push to nodejitsu or use another computer from which i got the app from git i get an error preventing server start.
app.use(express.compiler({ src: __dirname + '/public', enable: ['less'] })
^

"connect": ">=1.8.5",
"recaptcha": ">=1.1.0"
And i am using node version 0.8.7. Any suggestions to what might be causing this error is greatly appreciated

The compiler middleware for Express comes from the Connect framework and as of Jul 2011 Connect no longer includes compiler. So doing express.compiler(...) doesn't work anymore.
A LESS-specific middleware has been created and Express now uses that if you include it in your startup config. express -c less will add this line to the config:
app.use(require('less-middleware')({ src: __dirname + '/public' }));
If you have an older version of Express and Connect, you can add less-middleware to your package.json and add the line above to get it working.
It works pretty much the same as the original compiler, but includes some more bells and whistles.

Thanks to Hector i resolved the issue. I had the wrong version of express installed and changing express to = 2.5.0 from >=2.5.0 and reinstalling dependencies has fixed the issue and i am now able to run the app. Thanks
