==== Using <code>npx</code> with binaries ==== | |||
Some binaries obtained via npm will not work out of the box with NixOS, as they're dynamically linked to things that don't exist in NixOS (for good reason!) | |||
They'll typically give some kind of `ENOENT` error. | |||
For example, `npx cypress open` might give an error like: | |||
<pre> | |||
$ npx cypress open | |||
Cypress failed to start. | |||
This is usually caused by a missing library or dependency. | |||
The error below should indicate which dependency is missing. | |||
https://on.cypress.io/required-dependencies | |||
If you are using Docker, we provide containers with all required dependencies installed. | |||
---------- | |||
spawn /home/rkb/.cache/Cypress/4.10.0/Cypress/Cypress ENOENT | |||
</pre> | |||
One quick workaround for this is to use `steam-run` to provide a placeholder FHS environment that *should* work; e.g. for the Cypress example above: | |||
<pre> | |||
$ nix-env -iA nixos.steam-run | |||
$ steam-run npx cypress open | |||
-- Cypress opens successfully! | |||
</pre> | </pre> | ||
