Problem while trying to use ChartJS My project was building perfectly until I tried to add ChartJS into it. Despite it working fully on my local PC, there is a problem with building it on Railway (probably because of nixpacks).

I tried asking Phind and researched other sources like using shell.nix to include proper libraries but seems like my understandning of that mechanism is not enough to handle it. I need help. Anyone knows what difference Nixpacks make that make the problem occure? What should I do?

Solution:

Solved After adding ```json "optionalDependencies": { "node-canvas": "*"...

npm

canvas

Canvas graphics API backed by Cairo. Latest version: 2.11.2, last published: 4 months ago. Start using canvas in your project by running npm i canvas. There are 2394 other projects in the npm registry using canvas.

Ok, found this mention in the nixpacks.docs: (https://nixpacks.com/docs/providers/node)

 
Node Canvas

If node-canvas is found in the package.json file, then the libuuid and libGL libraries are made available in the environment.

Seems like since my project uses node canvas and not canvas it might be the case of why proper libraries are not added. Gonna try this at home.

Node | Nixpacks

App source + Nix packages + Docker = Image

let me know if you needed any additional help with this as I've provided the complete solution for this to multiple people in the past

Solved After adding

"optionalDependencies": {
    "node-canvas": "*"
  }

"optionalDependencies": {
    "node-canvas": "*"
  }

to package.json in main folder of the project despite it doing nothing in particular, Railway recongized the package and made libuuid and libGL available in the environment. Be aware node-canvas is not an actual name of the package. It should be canvas as stated in the docs. https://www.npmjs.com/package/canvas Despite that fact I added manually node-canvas to the optional dependencies and it worked so I left it like that. If you try this solution, be sure to check if npm i canvas won't be enough and feel free to post info about it here. Note that optional dependencies don't need to really be succesfully installed, because npm ignores its instalation errors.

npm

canvas

@strooss you had a problem with that

stroos•16mo ago

Yes i fixed that using docker file I'm not using railway anyway as it's paid now

HipsterSavageOP•16mo ago

still 5$ free tho

Brody•16mo ago

5$ fee with 5$ in usage https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks/blob/main/src/providers/node/mod.rs#L132 it's very off that the canvas package didn't work but node-canvas did
