  • 1.  Node.js & IBM i

    Posted Tue September 27, 2022 10:13 AM
    After installing and testing succesfully Django framework on IBM i, I tried (on a V7R3 machine) to install and run Vue.js framework.
    I succesfully (in order):
    - installed nodejs v16 from ACS Open source package manager
    - installed vue.js from npm (npm --without-ssl -g install @vue/cli from ssh)
    - created a vue app ( /QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/nodejs16/bin/vue create app_name)

    When I try to run nodejs vue development server (npm run serve) I obtain this error message:
    Watchpack Error (watcher): Error: ENOSYS: function not implemented, watch '/home/SADOCCO/app_name/node_modules/webpack-dev-server/client/modules'

    Searching on google (Error from chokidar (/home/KAPILT/slapp3/src/assets): Error: ENOSYS: function not implemented, watch '/home/KAPILT/slapp3/src/assets/.gitkeep' )
    Bitbucket remove preview
    Error from chokidar (/home/KAPILT/slapp3/src/assets): Error: ENOSYS: function not implemented, watch '/home/KAPILT/slapp3/src/assets/.gitkeep'
    There are multiple error lines coming on the screen when i doing ng serve I am using Putty SSH client . ‌ Error line - ‌ Error from chokidar \(/home/KAPILT/slapp3/src/assets\): Error: ENOSYS: function not implemented, watch '/home/KAPILT/slapp3/src/assets/.gitkeep'
    View this on Bitbucket >
    )

    I realized that the nodejs on IBM i lacks of a low-level implementation of fs.watch() sys functions, needed for hot-reload of vue.js code.

    Does anyone find a way to run vue.js (or another framwork/app that use this low-level api) on IBM i?
