Error during building from source thingsboard

Question

I am trying to build thingsboard using the source code by following the guide at the following link

I have the following configuration

• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• java version "1.8.0_151"
• Apache Maven 3.3.9

---

Firstly, when I try to clone the code using the git clone git@github.com:thingsboard/thingsboard.git command, I got the following error.

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I managed to clone the code using the web URL. However, when I try to build the code using the command mvn clean install, I get an error while running the DAO tests.

So, I tried to build the code without running the tests using the command mvn clean install -DskipTests. The previous error was avoided, however, I get the following error.

How do I resolve this error? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

here is the how i solve this problem:

1. Change package.json line "ngx-flowchart": "git://github.com/thingsboard/ngx-flowchart.git#master" to "ngx-flowchart": "git://github.com/thingsboard/ngx-flowchart.git#9caae13da1b95fa8aaa7938f57537b229b207e4a" according to this post from github

2. Update your nodejs, yarn and npm version to: node V15.5.0 yarn V1.22.5 npm V7.3.0

3. change package.json inside js-executor and web-ui folder to

   "scripts": { "install": "pkg -t node14-linux-x64,node14-win-x64 --out-path ./target . && node install.js", "test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1", "start": "WEB_FOLDER=./target/web nodemon server.js", "start-prod": "NODE_ENV=production nodemon server.js" } ,

Thats all, hope it helps :)
