ESBUILD build fails in gramex 1.91.1 in alpine container

Question

So A container is running in Gramex IDE with following details

$ cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Alpine Linux"
ID=alpine
VERSION_ID=3.17.1
PRETTY_NAME="Alpine Linux v3.17"
HOME_URL="https://alpinelinux.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues"
$
$ gramex --version
Gramex version: 1.91.1
Gramex path: /home/gramex/conda/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gramex
Python version: 3.9.16
Python path: /home/gramex/conda/bin/python
$
$ node --version
v16.19.1
$ npm --version
8.10.0

and I have this TS file with exports as /app/ts/index.ts

It failed in gramex server hence I tried running the underlying command in the terminal as:

cd /app/ts
node /home/gramex/conda/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gramex/apps/ui/node_modules/esbuild/bin/esbuild --format=esm --bundle =true --minify=false --target=esnext --charset=utf8 --global-name= --keep-names=false --allow-overwrite --sourcemap --outdir=/home/gramex/.config/gramexdata/apps/ui/.ts-51554 index.ts

And this command fails as well with error:

/home/gramex/conda/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gramex/apps/ui/node_modules/esbuild/bin/esbuild:1

Already tried reinstalling esbuild in UI directory.

Answer 1

Use npx instead of node in the command.
