Dependencies?

[srl295]

(Disclaimer is that I understand dependency challenges, I can show you my own list.)

When following https://theia-ide.org/docs/composing_applications in evaluating the platform, installing dependencies gives this with npm i:

npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.

OK, i'll try yarn instead, which gives:

I know for example rimraf 4.0 was published 2 years ago (despite that node builtin now has a recursive delete).

Anyway, when then trying to build I get:

$ theia clean && theia build
Failed to resolve module: @theia/electron

I'm on Node 18.20.4.

It does start (yay!), but the dependency warnings are a little concerning, and some of them seem like low hanging fruit (such as rimraf).

Yes, I searched your issues and discussions for similar. I found a couple of discussions of specific dependencies and one about yarn v1 but did not find something about the unsupported dependencies.

I'm evaluating theia as the foundation for a new project, so trying to see if this situation is something I should be concerned about or not.

How did you compose your application, did you use the Yeoman generator?

[JonasHelming]

And to directly answer your question: Yes, we are actively working on keeping the dependencies up-to-date. This is crucial for the adopting projects.

[srl295]

• No, i used the package.json in https://theia-ide.org/docs/composing_applications#setup - I've since been pointed at the generator in Build Your own vs. Extending IDE #14244

[JonasHelming]

Reason I am asking is that we recently decided to get rid of the path with the manual package.json.
It is constantly confusing new adopters and also harder to maintain.
About the dependency warnings, I added an item to our next dev call: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/wiki/Dev-Meetings

[JonasHelming]

For additional information, besides the regular yarn upgrades we do every release, we decided to do an explicit dependency review for every community release to identify deprecated dependencies, next will be beginning of Nov. Rimraf is upgraded in the meantime

[JonasHelming]

Where did you get the information to use theia clean && theia build?
