Watermelondb: npm install in react-native fails

[Deadarius]

Trying to install watermelon in a react-native project:

npm i @nozbe/watermelondb --save

Getting this error

code 128
npm ERR! Command failed: /usr/local/bin/git submodule update -q --init --recursive
npm ERR! fatal: No url found for submodule path 'original/LokiJS' in .gitmodules

yeah not really going to bother considering this if I can't launch the web example and when I try to install it myself, there's issues with the very first step ffs

[radex]

@Deadarius that's rather strange... Have you tried using yarn? Does it work with the previous version of WatermelonDB? Indeed the LokiJS version used changed, but I can't see why it would throw the issue it did

[PaulPaksGitHub]

The same error with the npm, but using yarn everything works fine

[radex]

One thing that comes to mind: see if npm cache clean helps - and does the previous version of WatermelonDB work. No one complained that it didn't, and LokiJS version changed, but I can't see how that's related to a gitmodules error

[fbegue]

npm install
works with

"@nozbe/watermelondb": "0.17.0",
"@nozbe/with-observables": "^1.0.0"

[KarolHarumi]

I had the same issue here. I've just downgraded WatermelonDB from 0.18.0 to 0.17 and worked fine. Thanks @fbegue for the clue

[harji-singh]

Same issue I too Have

[uzaircs]

Same issue. Downgrading to 0.17 works

npm i @nozbe/[email protected] --save   

Error with 0.18.0

[radex]

can anyone verify if 0.19.0-1 works for you?

[uzaircs]

Getting same error with 0.19.0-1

npm i @nozbe/[email protected] --save -verbose

@uzaircs What happens if you rm package-lock.json then re-run npm install?

@uzaircs What happens if you rm package-lock.json then re-run npm install?

Tried it. Getting same error.

npm ERR! code 128
npm ERR! Command failed: git submodule update -q --init --recursive
npm ERR! fatal: No url found for submodule path 'original/LokiJS' in .gitmodules

Also tried removing node_modules and ran npm cache clean --force. still getting same issue on 0.19.0-1

[pedromvgomes]

Just confirmed the same. It does work with version 0.17.0 but none of the other options mentioned above worked for me. Striking with 0.17.0 for now

[radex]

Honestly, it's a bit of a pain in the butt for me, but I changed 🍉 to point to a NPM-published fork of LokiJS instead of a git commit. This should fix your issue.

@pedromvgomes @uzaircs Can you confirm that versin 0.19.0-3 works fine with NPM?

[rytyr]

@radex npm i @nozbe/[email protected] works fine
