npm install failing: unable to resolve dependency tree about graphql-98 HOT 4 OPEN

I bypassed it with --legacy-peer-deps. Then it failed because apparently it requires node-pre-gyp and rimraf to be available globally. Once this was done, I tried to run the start script but it seems I need electron-forge. Once I installed it, it complained that electron-prebuilt-compile must be in devDependencies, and it must be an exact version and not a range. I installed it (latest 8.2.0). Then it failed with Failed to locate startable Electron application. I figured I had to build it somehow first (but there was no build script other than package which also seemed to fail with Failed to locate startable Electron application). Given that I saw Webpack config, I tried webpack which gave me an error ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve './src' in 'C:\Users\david\proj\graphql-98' - even though src exists. Maybe it has to do with TypeScript or something? I have no idea.

I have given up. It would be amazing if you could provide a full set of instructions how to build the software! Thanks

Have you tried using yarn instead of npm? There's probably bitrot on the dependencies because I haven't touched the code in a while. Does the prepackaged version work?

Unfortunately it doesn't, for other reasons, see #21 and #22. That's why I tried building it myself to see if I can identify and fix the problems myself, but I failed miserably as you can see^^

OK I see now what you mean, there is a yarn.lock so possibly using yarn could have made a difference. I did see that you wrote yarn start but I thought it wouldn't make much of a difference whether yarn or npm was used because the meaning of package.json is the same in both cases - I did forget about yarn.lock though, yes.

Anyway, my primary goal was to use the software, building it was only in an attempt to make it useable... so if maybe you could figure out why the prepackaged version is also broken for me, that would be even better...!

In general this looks like an awesome piece of software... and I'd love to use it!

Gotcha. Yarn lock pins all the dependencies in a deep manner, so it might solve your peer dep problem. Most of my testing has been on mac so not sure about those other bugs you saw offhand. You might try an older build to see if it's any better.
