webpack-plugin install

I am having an issue getting the npm install to run when trying to install the arcgis webpack plugin.

When I run npm install --save-dev @arcgiswebpack-plugin

I get the following errors:

73 error code ENOENT
74 error syscall spawn git
75 error path git
76 error errno ENOENT
77 error enoent Error while executing:
77 error enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t ssh://git@github.com/Esri/dgrid.git
77 error enoent
77 error enoent
77 error enoent spawn git ENOENT
78 error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
79 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

I am seeing this both when I attempt to install the plugin on my web server, and when I try to build the demo from the url below

webpack | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14

I called ESRI tech support and they told me that this is out of scope for their support since it is a node.js issue. It is my understanding that this a product that ESRI developed, correct? Should it not fall under their scope of support?

Thanks,

Brian

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I would recommend logging an issue in the GitHub repo:

Issues · Esri/arcgis-webpack-plugin · GitHub

While the plugin was made by Esri, I think this falls under the category of a project as opposed to a product. An example of a product would be the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, or ArcGIS Pro. An example of a project is this webpack plug-in, or the Resource Proxy. Usually projects are hosted on GitHub or other non-Esri pages. The best way to work with Esri projects is via the appropriate GitHub repo, or here on GeoNet, or places like The Spatial Community on Slack.

Lastly, when I tested this command:

npm install --save-dev @arcgis/webpack-plugin@^4.14.0

It seems to load fine.

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks for the response Noah; that's great insight on projects/products.

I was able to get the install work properly. I did not have git installed on my computer or on the web server that I'm working on. Once I installed git, npm was able to successfully install the package.

I also ensured that my PATH variable matched what is outlined in the stackoverflow post below:

javascript - Bower: ENOGIT Git is not installed or not in the PATH - Stack Overflow

Thanks,

Brian

Looks like the dgrid dependency is loading via ssh, you might need https. You can run this command and try to install it again.

git config --global url."https://github.com".insteadOf git://github.com‍‍

Edit - nvm, you got it! Good to hear
