Issue Installing @blockly/plugin-strict-connection-checker with NPM

[Seth Swango]

Hello all,

 

I am attempting to install the strict connection checker. Repro steps:

node version: v16.1.0

npm version: 7.11.2

blockly version: blo...@3.20200924.3

Here is the output when I try to install blockly via various methods: 

Can anyone point me in the right direct to begin troubleshooting this? Your help is much appreciated. 

Best, 

Seth

Hello, 

What does the rest of your package.json look like. I'm unable to reproduce your issue with the following package.json: 

{

  "name": "test-blockly-strict",

  "dependencies": {

    "@blockly/plugin-strict-connection-checker": "^1.0.21",

    "blockly": "github:google/blockly#master"

  }

}

Note: you could try acquiring Blockly from npm instead of Github. ie, use "blockly": "3.20200924.3" instead of "blockly": "github:google/blockly#master" in your package.json.

Could you try the above package.json in a new project, and let me know if you have trouble installing the plugin in that project?

Cheers,

Sam

Sam! Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

My package.json is extensive but I am able to recreate this error in a simpler project with the following package.json:

{

  "name": "my-first-app",

  "version": "0.0.0",

  "scripts": {

    "ng": "ng",

    "start": "ng serve",

    "build": "ng build",

    "test": "ng test",

    "lint": "ng lint",

    "e2e": "ng e2e"

  },

  "private": true,

  "dependencies": {

    "@angular/animations": "~11.0.0",

    "@angular/common": "~11.0.0",

    "@angular/compiler": "~11.0.0",

    "@angular/core": "~11.0.0",

    "@angular/forms": "~11.0.0",

    "@angular/platform-browser": "~11.0.0",

    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~11.0.0",

    "@angular/router": "~11.0.0",

    "blockly": "^3.20200924.3",

    "bootstrap": "^3.4.1",

    "rxjs": "~6.6.0",

    "tslib": "^2.0.0",

    "zone.js": "~0.10.2"

  },

  "devDependencies": {

    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "^0.1100.7",

    "@angular/cli": "~11.0.0",

    "@angular/compiler-cli": "~11.0.0",

    "@types/jasmine": "~3.6.0",

    "@types/node": "^12.11.1",

    "codelyzer": "^6.0.0",

    "jasmine-core": "~3.6.0",

    "jasmine-spec-reporter": "~5.0.0",

    "karma": "~5.1.0",

    "karma-chrome-launcher": "~3.1.0",

    "karma-coverage": "~2.0.3",

    "karma-jasmine": "~4.0.0",

    "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "^1.5.0",

    "protractor": "~7.0.0",

    "ts-node": "~8.3.0",

    "tslint": "~6.1.0",

    "typescript": "~4.0.2"

  }

}

Looks like in both cases I am getting the package from npm and still getting the error: 'blockly-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Is there something I need to add to my path? Do I need to be installing via WSL rather than just through windows?

Once again any help is appreciated.

Thank you!,

Seth

It appears that the path of the script the package install tries to call does not exist:

\node_modules\@blockly\plugin-strict-connection-checker
