I’m trying to update teleport, which has moved away from distributing pre-built frontend assets - now the frontend source files reside in the same repo, and I need to build them using yarn.
The frontend code is using namespaces, and the structure looks roughly like this:
package.json
web/
├── package.json
├── packages
│ ├── build
│ │ ├── package.json
│ ├── design
│ │ ├── package.json
│ ├── shared
│ │ ├── package.json
│ ├── teleport
│ │ ├── package.json
│ └── teleterm
│ ├── package.json
I am trying to write a derivation which would install the required node_modules, and then allow me to invoke yarn build-ui-oss at the top level (which just invokes yarn build in web/packages/teleport. I have tried several variations of mkYarnPackage, mkYarnModules (which seems to be recommended for such cases?) & mkYarnWorkspace.
But no matter what I try the build scripts fail because they can not find scripts that are defined in @gravitational/build (which @gravitational/teleport depends on).
<...>
$ g-build --config webpack.prod.config.js --progress --bail --output-path=../../../webassets/teleport/app
warning Cannot find a suitable global folder. Tried these: "/usr/local, /homeless-shelter/.yarn"
/bin/sh: g-build: not found
When I peek inside what mkYarnModules produces, it looks something like:
.
├── deps
│ ├── @gravitational
│ │ ├── build
│ │ ├── design
│ │ ├── shared
│ │ └── teleport
│ └── teleport-yarn-deps
│ └── package.json
└── node_modules
├── 7zip-bin
│ ├── 7x.sh
│ ├── <...>
├── abab
│ ├── <...>
├── <...>
I am not sure how to utilize this folder structure. When I use yarn install in a nix-shell, yarn produces “normal”, flat node_modules, and I can build the assets successfully (imperatively).
One of my attempts to write the derivation can be seen here: teleport-webassets.nix · GitHub
Will be massively thankful for any help!
