Cannot run any nteract application locally #5704

@xinyi-joffre

Description

@xinyi-joffre

Application or Package Used
I tried to set nteract up locally, so that I could contribute fixes for existing issues. It looks like none of the current options for running nteract locally seem to be working.

I tried:

  • nteract desktop
  • nteract web
  • nteract on jupyter

Describe the bug
For nteract desktop, I faced a similar error as issue #5697.

For nteract web, initially I ran into import css errors for jupyter-widgets/controls. After upgrading jupyter-widgets/controls to 5.0.0, there was a different set of errors. When running "npm run dev" for nteract web after that, I ran into issues such as:

  • 404 GET /static/components/MathJax/jax/output/HTML-CSS/fonts/TeX/fontdata.js?V=2.7.9 (127.0.0.1) 4.080000ms referer=http://127.0.0.1:8888/nteract/edit

  • WARNING in ./node_modules/@nteract/actions/src/index.ts 16:0-66
    [1] "export 'Action' was not found in './utils'
    [1] @ ./node_modules/@nteract/core/src/index.ts
    [1] @ ./app/bootstrap.tsx
    [1] @ ./app/index.tsx

  • Website console errors:

    • Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component.
      • The above error occurred in the <Connect(PureNewNotebookNavigation)> component:
        in Connect(PureNewNotebookNavigation) (created by DirectoryApp)
    • reportUnhandledError.js?e244:10 Uncaught Error: A cross-origin error was thrown. React doesn't have access to the actual error object in development.

For the web application, I got during "npm run build":
ValidationError: Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialized using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.

  • configuration.node has an unknown property 'fs'. These properties are valid:
    object { __dirname?, __filename?, global? }
    -> Options object for node compatibility features.

To Reproduce
Try to run any of the applications from a fresh clone of the nteract repository.

Expected behavior
Applications run to enable local development of nteract.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 11 Enterprise: 22000.856
  • Browser: Chrome: 104.0.5112.82

Additional context
node version: v16.17.0
npm version: 8.1.2
yarn version: 1.22.19
