Problem building extensions: "node_modules could not be found at"

[Nick Edwards]

Hi,

I ran into some problems building a reviewboard extension for reviewboard 4.0. I followed the instuctions on https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/4.0/extending/extensions/distribution/ but when I run

python setup.py bdist_wheel

or 

python setup.py bdist_wheel

or

python setup.py install

I get an exception:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: node_modules could not be found at /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/node_modules

After a bit of experimentation I got things working by downloading the djblets source and running "python setup.py develop" in djblets, which downloads the node modules into the djblets directory, then I copied node_modules to /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/node_modules, and after that building my extension works. But this doesn't seem like the best way of doing thing... was I missing a step? Might be a good idea to clarify this on the web page?

Cheers,

Nick

At the moment, extensions can only be built against a development install of Review Board.

We have a fix for this internally, and will be releasing Djblets 2.2.1 over the weekend to address it.

Hi Nick,

We've pushed out Djblets 2.2.1, which should fix this issue. You can simply `pip install -U Djblets` to get the fix. Give it a try and let me know if you encounter any issues.
