Rush Rebuild Problem

[DeepakMalkan]

'Rush Rebuild' in iModelJS top-level folder seems to run into a problem at the following stage:

=====================

_==[ ninezone-test-app ]==========================================[ 70 of 89 ]==
"ninezone-test-app" had an empty script.

One CLI for webpack must be installed. These are recommended choices, delivered as separate packages:

• webpack-cli (https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli)
  The original webpack full-featured CLI.
  We will use "npm" to install the CLI via "npm install -D".
  Do you want to install 'webpack-cli' (yes/no): ^CTerminate batch job (Y/N)? y_

=========================

At the point when it asks to install 'webpack-cli (yes/no):' --- it doesn't take any input characters. Only thing I can do is to terminate the batch job.

Questions:

1. Is 'Rush Rebuild' a valid command to invoke? The package.json file does not mention the rebuild command, though Rush documentation recommends it to completely rebuild all packages from scratch.
2. If 'Rush Clean' followed by 'Rush Build' the equivalent of 'Rush Rebuild'?

I guess I could just install webpack independently.

1. Yes, the rush rebuild command is valid to run and it basically force re-runs all npm run build scripts within the repository. The difference between that and rush build is that Rush will only build things that haven't previously been run without a change to it. Whereas rush rebuild is the
2. It's similar but not quite the same. rush rebuild only reruns the actual npm run build script in each package and a combintation of rush clean && rush build runs both the npm run clean and npm run build on each package.

That all being said, I'm a bit lost on the webpack-cli issue that they're running into. What Node version are you using?

Node version: 14.17.0.

I decided not to install webpack separately, since I now think it should be a local install rather than a global one.

Could you try Node 12.17 and higher in 12.x? I don't believe we officially support 14 yet

[kabentley]

I use Node 14.16.1 with no problems. Are you sure you did a rush install after pulling changes?

@DeepakMalkan does that mean you're no longer seeing the issue or does it still happen?

[DeepakMalkan]

I've been off-development this week. Get back to it next & revert to this issue then.

Hi, I encountered the same problem in the previous version of rush build, but rush build succeeded in the latest imodel.js version. So, you can update the latest code.

For anyone still hitting this, rush purge && rush install should fix the issue.
