ChangeLog: https://github.com/gotify/server/releases/tag/v2.0.22 ChangeLog: https://github.com/gotify/server/releases/tag/v2.0.23 ChangeLog: https://github.com/gotify/server/releases/tag/v2.1.0 While the update only contains a few small features and a few bugfixes, the change was rather messy for us unfortunately: * It seems as if `npmjs.org`-packages can't be transformed into `pkg___pkg-x.y.z` for Yarn's offline cache. The name `https___registry.npmjs.org_caniuse_lite___caniuse_lite_1.0.30001237.tgz` isn't the problem because when changing the URL "parser" of `yarn2nix` to transform this into `org_caniuse_lite___caniuse_lite_1.0.30001237` this doesn't help either. Instead, I derived the fix from `gitlab`[1] where `yarn.lock` gets patched to make sure that it detects the package in the offline-cache properly. * The frontend is now built with `react-scripts`. This is a problem for us because it tries to write into `node_modules/.cache` even though `node_modules` is a store-path in the context of `yarn2nix`[2]. The change isn't pretty, but solves the issue for us.

Looks like there really isn't any great solution for using CRA with nix. I think we should consider just removing this example facebook/create-react-app#11263

Is your proposal related to a problem?
When using
create-react-appwith Nix-based packagers such as https://github.com/tweag/npmlock2nix, usually these packagers will, by default, createnode_modulesas a symlink to the Nix store, which is read-only. Becausenpm run buildtries to writenode_modules/.cache, these tools are incompatible withcreate-react-app(or, more specifically,react-scripts) without some workarounds.Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to override the
create-react-appcache location — for example, to be able to set it to<PROJECT_ROOT>/.cache.Describe alternatives you've considered
At least some of these Nix-based packagers support copying the Nix store
node_modulescontents to the project root directory, rather than symlinking it. This works fine, but is a pain to manage, and it's easy to get something wrong; e.g., to have a stalenode_modulesaround after adding, removing, or updating a dependency. The aforementioned https://github.com/tweag/npmlock2nix project takes pains to recreate thenode_modulessymlink when a dependency is changed, but not a copiednode_modulessubdirectory.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
