App stuck on "Downloading packages..."

[vfonic]

I downloaded the app on my macOS and opened it. But now it's stuck on "Downloading packages..." screen. I tried restarting the app several times, but I always get the same error message.

I managed to right-click and inspect element, but I don't see any errors in the console.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
• Node version: 14.15.4
• Are you using nvm? No

Where did you downloaded the app?

[vfonic]

I'm pretty sure I downloaded it from the releases page: https://github.com/Akryum/guijs/releases

[danielo515]

can you tell me which one?

I usually look for dmg 's for mac

[danielo515]

Ok, it was guijs.app.tgz
I think naming could be a bit better

haha, could have been way better. Tried building the app from the source in MacOS but the docs are not clear, also tried Tauiri's install guides, no luck yet. LMK, if you find something

I'm facing the same issue on ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I'm using the DEB

[krushndayshmookh]

i tried running the program using terminal and found that guijs-server is missing. so it automatically tries to install it but fails due to permission problems while writing to /usr/lib/node_modules.

trying again with sudo.

[krushndayshmookh]

again, prebuild-install fails.

[krushndayshmookh]

alright. so. running npm i -g @guijs/server-core --unsafe as root solved the problem.

[Muphet]

exact same problem on windows except im using .msi build just to check out the app..

[KaKi87]

Same on Linux, installed from deb.

[patbonecrusher]

same on Mac...
I tried:
running the guijs from the cli, I get the error below

Same when I do this
npm i -g @guijs/server-core --unsafe

Looks like the graphql-tools won't build with latest nodejs version. It is also deprecated.....

npm WARN deprecated graphql-tools@4.0.8: This package has been deprecated and now it only exports makeExecutableSchema.\nAnd it will no longer receive updates.\nWe recommend you to migrate to scoped packages such as @graphql-tools/schema, @graphql-tools/utils and etc.\nCheck out https://www.graphql-tools.com to learn what package you should use instead

Found out it don't work with nodejs 16. It works if you have 14.17.5 installed.

[KaKi87]

I have this very same Node version running on Linux, yet I'm experiencing this issue. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
