Bug Summary

Describe the bug:

When trying to run the build scripts for devfile-web to create a container image the build is failing because of an issue related to the dependencies and the Dockerfile.

To Reproduce:

Running bash ./scripts/build_viewer.sh from the root project directory produces the following error:

Expected behavior

The build script should be producing a container image at its completion.

Suggestion on how to fix the bug

Most likely just missing dependencies or they need to be updated.

@Jdubrick I did a bit more investigation into this problem and it appears to be a dependency incompatibility with the apple silicon arm64 platform parcel-bundler/parcel#9262, there's another open issue for this with recent activity parcel-bundler/watcher#156.

For this issue, we will need to investigate if there is a workaround to this and if not wait for a patch to come out.

Moving this issue out of sprint as the issues linked above are still open. Tried a bunch of workarounds and nothing seemed to remedy the solution so we may have to just monitor and wait for a patch.

I've been looking for a workaround on this and found this fix nrwl/nx#19751

Added a draft PR here: devfile/devfile-web#110

After trying to run the proposed changes it exits out during the yarn --frozen-lockfile stage with exit code 139. The container doesn't build by this point so I can't access it to check any logs for why so I am currently looking at other options. There is a possibility that the issues are related to this (under Apple Silicon) where it states arm64 can segfault when trying to connect to some TLS servers.
