I had the same error some days ago. Not sure how I fixed this, but I believe it was about the location from where I ran ā€œnpm run buildā€. Are you in the ā€œTools/Gulpā€ directory ? or at the root directory when executing it ?

Or maybe what Iā€™m telling about has nothing to do with your issue ā€¦

Iā€™d try upgrading typescript. Here it says ~3.6.3:

and you are using 3.5.3.

That changed occurred on Oct 2nd:

Definitely have TS 3.6.3 installed but log file still gives a ref to 3.5.3

make sure to run npm install in tools/gulp (and do that after deleting your node_modules folder at the root)

When I do this I get

woot! pinging @sebavan

I have never tried in MINGW64 could you try directly on windows ?

Also are you running with node 10+ ?

As you can see node version is 10.15.0

EDIT Just realised it says to install gulp

So using Windows power shell rather than git bash seems to have solved it.

Windows informed me to install gulp which git bash didnā€™t and even when I installed gulp git bash gave the same errors as before.

EDIT no I was wrong eventually these errors appeared

Enough for tonight!!! Try again tomorrow.

S2343: This syntax requires an imported helper named ā€˜__spreadArraysā€™

Seems you are not on the right ts version could you install ts 3.6.3 globally then also try deleting the .temp folder in your babylon.js directory.

Let s see if that works before investigating further.

I had the same error on my computer and:

  • Deleting node_modules did not help
  • Removing .temp did not help

I have no idea why yetā€¦

Ok thanks to @bghgary, I tried ā€œgit clean -dxfā€ at the root of the repo and it workedā€¦No idea what was wrong though

git dark forces fighting against npm hell armiesā€¦ no one wants to be a part of that :smiley:

Edit: Old fork gone. forked again. Cloning in progress

Ok, doing my first build in years from a repo forked last in '15. I have been doing regular pulls from upstream master to have up to date local source, and did it today as well.

I followed Start Contributing to Babylon.js | Babylon.js Documentation, and did the global installs, then switched to Tools/Gulp and did an npm install.

When I npm run build, I just get reams of errors. My console buffer does not even hold them all. They seem to be either about white space, or something being expected.

Switching to npm run start, which does not do lint, now the errors still go for ever like this:

scene.ts(778,49): error TS1109: Expression expected.  
scene.ts(778,107): error TS1005: ':' expected.        
scene.ts(3793,37): error TS1109: Expression expected. 
scene.ts(3793,62): error TS1005: ':' expected.        

Btw, did the git clean -dxf & another npm install, but still the errors. Is this an obvious issue? Would just nuking the fork & starting over be just the easiest way out? I have only changed file so far.

@JCPalmer, it should just work :frowning: sorry to hear that, let us know if the new fork is ok ?

Yes it worked fine. I did my little PR to simplify using Transform nodes to control IK & bone look controllers with any issue.
