Apache superset failing docker compose up install method


I am trying to build a fork of apache superset for development and keep running into the error:

failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c npm run ${BUILD_CMD}" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

I've tried doing npm install && npm run dev before, updating npm and node. I run into this error on windows, linux with intel and linux with amd all x86

I also get a failures with missing modules when trying to install with a python venv but that's a separate question. Maybe the docs are out of date? https://superset.apache.org/docs/installation/docker-compose

Here's the full Dockerfile:

Solution

  • To run the build with docker compose up you need Node.js version is v18.20.1.

    The needed node version is specified in the .nvmrc file of the superset-frontend directory.

    To install:

    Install NVM:
    
      curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
        source ~/.bashrc
    
    cd path/to/superset/superset-frontend
    
    nvm install
    nvm use
    
    node -v
    

    Then double check that the BUILD_CMD environment variable is correctly set to "build" as specified in the Dockerfile. The relevant section of the Dockerfile is:

    ARG NPM_BUILD_CMD="build"
    ...
    ENV BUILD_CMD=${NPM_BUILD_CMD}
    ...
    RUN npm run ${BUILD_CMD}
    

    Then docker compose up should work
