Broken airnode-validator package version 0.7.0

[dcroote]

Description

Attempting to use version 0.7.0 of the airnode-validator package with npx fails due to a missing file. This is not the case for 0.6.5, see below.

Version

• node: v14.19.3

Present Behaviour

Error due to missing file

Expected Behaviour

Command should return package help contents

Steps to reproduce

Works for 0.6.5:

> npx @api3/[email protected] --help
npx: installed 68 in 24.543s
Options:
      --help                    Show help                              [boolean]
      --version                 Show version number                    [boolean]
      --from                    Name of the source airnode specification format
                                                                        [string]
      --to                      Name of the target airnode specification format
                                                                        [string]
  -t, --template                Path to validator template file         [string]
  -s, --specification, --specs  Path to specification file that will be
                                validated                    [string] [required]
  -i, --secrets                 Path to .env file that will be interpolated with
                                specification                           [string]
      --specs-only              Instead of standard validator output, only the
                                result of conversion will be returned
                                                      [boolean] [default: false]

I can confirm this issue. It is being investigated. Thanks for reporting :)

@aquarat If you're working on it please assign the task to yourself and move it to In progress 😉

There was an unknown issue in local installation of npm and reinstalling npm solved the issue. See: https://api3workspace.slack.com/archives/C02AYRX8D89/p1655719143552109?thread_ts=1655471779.990269&cid=C02AYRX8D89

Hi @Siegrift, it seems that the issue persists even with v0.7.1. See screenshot:

[Siegrift]

Just to clarify, this is a different issue (the previous was just some broken npm version on @aquarat machine), this one is my fault when I changed the TS configurations.

[Siegrift]

The fix for master has been merged in #1268.

This can be tested by:

1. Publishing the validator package to verdacio
2. Unforunately, it seems it's not possible to run npx with local registry, but this can be tested by using the validator in another project as dependency (I believe we have that somewhere in docs)
3. Trying to call yarn airnode-validator --help (from the new project) to see if the help popup shows up

LMK if you have troubles testing this.

Hi, @Siegrift, Aaron has published the package in the meantime and it does work.

[Siegrift]

@kolenic-martin but this should have been tested from master since the issue was patched to both branches (master and v0.7).

[martinkolenic]

Ah, I see now, that I didn't know. I'll try it the way you advised.

[martinkolenic]

To everyone concerned: this has been tested from master in the morning the following way:

• git pull
• npm install verdaccio
• [ran verdaccio in a separate console and pointed the npm registry to the local instance of verdaccio]
• cd packages/airnode-validator
• yarn publish
• [switched to a dummy nodejs project and installed airnode-validator]
• npx @api3/airnode-validator --help

This produced a standard message that the validator usually displays, confirming it runs without any issues now. :)
