Installing discourse for development is failing

[Crius]

Hello,

I was assisting a friend of mine in setting up their environment to start working on a plugin and we got stuck on an error. He was trying on a freshly made VM with Ubuntu 22.04.

I tried this morning on a freshly created VM with Ubuntu 20.04.

We followed this topic:

Install Discourse for development using Docker

Developing using Docker Since Discourse runs in Docker, you should be able to run Discourse directly from your source directory using a Discourse development container. Pros: No need to install any system dependencies, no configuration needed at all for setting up a development environment quickly. Cons: Will be slightly slower than the native dev environment on Ubuntu, and much slower than a native install on MacOS. See also Developing Discourse using a Dev Container …

This is the error (the same for both of us) we encountered:

I think this is the same error reported over at

Install Discourse for development using Docker

Same, it errors when trying to bake the admin user profile. It works after adding a step to yarn install before creating the admin as suggested by @zergov. I went ahead and created a PR to add it: DEV: Yarn install to avoid error during initial migration seed by dsims · Pull Request #20866 · discourse/discourse · GitHub

I just merged @dsims’s PR into Discourse core, so if you pull the latest main, things should work much better
