Material-table: Docker build fails on `npm install: Error while executing: undefined ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/eligrey/FileSaver.js.git

[mikeestradathd]

I am trying to build a Docker image but I get the following error:

Error while executing:
npm ERR! enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/eligrey/FileSaver.js.git

Simply running docker build .
When I take out material-table, the build passes.

I have this problem too:

> npm install material-table
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno ENOENT

This seems to be caused by a dependency on Git being installed on the machine, so you can add this to your Dockerfile:

# Git needed by material-table
RUN apk add git

Hopefully this can be fixed in the future, so there's no such dependency required by default.

Here's one additional error message:
npm ERR! missing: file-saver@github:eligrey/FileSaver.js#1.3.8, required by [email protected]

The dependency of material-table on [email protected] can be seen by this dependency graph:
+-- [email protected]
| +-- @date-io/[email protected] deduped
| +-- @material-ui/[email protected] deduped
| +-- [email protected]
| +-- [email protected] deduped
| +-- [email protected]
| +-- [email protected]
| +-- [email protected]
| +-- [email protected]

And this library seems to be used here:
https://github.com/mbrn/material-table/blob/22d8fca70c6d45b6035ca8972f8a0fce6ac350c5/src/components/m-table-toolbar.js#L73

I also believe that the explicit dependency on a GitHub repository may pose a security risk in the long-term.

@scscgit
RUN apk add git works for an Alpine distribution, what would be the equivalent for node:12?

[mikeestradathd]

Managed to get that it working with node:14-alpine

The problem was solved by installing GIT. Thanks!

I have this problem as well and I am not using docker. Is there going to be a dependency on git for this npm package? This is the only npm package with this issue that I've come across

Looks like pull request #1970 added the npm library jspdf. This library then relies on filesaver js. I'm not sure why it requires git.

[kenyung0829]

This is an issue in jspdf: https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF/issues/2208 . jspdf is using git for some reason, which is wrong. The fix is there already but it has never been released. To fix this issue completely in material-table, it should either not use jspdf at all or use a lower version that doesnt have this problem.

For now, if you want to use material-table, you should either use a lower version npm install [email protected] or have git installed in your server as a workaround.

For now and While jsPDF doesn't release a new version I manually updated dependencies on package-lock.json
On file-saver section

You can also change the url in your package.json to not depend on git executable:

"dependencies": [
    "file-saver": "https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js/tarball/5bb701bd6ea05a02836daf8ef88ec350a1dd4d83",
]

instead of

"dependencies": [
    "file-saver": "ssh://[email protected]/eligrey/FileSaver.js.git#5bb701bd6ea05a02836daf8ef88ec350a1dd4d83",
]

(where 5bb701bd6ea05a02836daf8ef88ec350a1dd4d83 is the commit number)

I've fixed this by allowing GIT 9418 port and 22 port on the firewall settings, I don't know which fixed the problem though.

[kayuzee]

@scscgit RUN apk add git into the Dockerfile worked for me!

[scscgit]

Maybe someone could re-open a new issue because of the stale bot?

[ririvas]

Seeing recent comments, latest version of material-table includes new jspdf version that does not have the git dependency
