xo-cli --register produces "invalid parameters" errors in xo logs

julien-f

@mietek Hello, this is due to incompatibility between xo-cli and xo-server due a change introduced 6 months ago, you can resolve it by updating xo-server.

Another solution is to update xo-cli as the recent versions contains a work-around for old versions of xo-server.

@julien-f Hey, thanks for the info. Let me update the client and get back to you.

@julien-f
upgrade or reinstall of xo-cli crashes now with an error:

internal/process/esm_loader.js:74

I am not really a Java guy. What am I missing here?

julien-f

@mietek Does xo-cli crash? Or npm during the install?

mietek

@julien-f xo-cli installation runs fine. Trying to run it fails.
I have rolled it back to 0.14.0 and it works fine.

julien-f

@mietek Ok, which version of Node are you using?

mietek

@julien-f v14.21.3

julien-f

@mietek Please use latest Node LTS as explained in the documentation.

mietek

@julien-f I have installed node LTS ver and the new xo-cli works fine:

nodejs:
->     v16.20.0   (Latest LTS: Gallium)
xo-cli:
└── xo-cli@0.17.1

Thanks for help.

olivierlambert

That's why it's important to read the doc, because it means less interruption and more time for @julien-f to actually work on improving XO

mietek

Hey @julien-f, I have to get back to the issue as I had to move witn node and xo-cli to other machine and even though I have node: v16.20.0 and xo-cli: v0.17.1
I see those errors again.
Is there any way to have it fixed without upgrading xo-server? [ver: 5.87.0]

julien-f

@mietek The No such built-in module: node:assert/strict cannot occur with Node 16.20.0.

What exact issues do you have?

olivierlambert

If you are using xo-server 5.87.0 you are indeed very very outdated. Remember to keep everything up to date on master branch as possible.

mietek

@julien-f Hey, I am back to the original issue now:
"message": "should not contains property ["description"]

If there is anything I can do to not have it in logs then great, but if not
@olivierlambert might be right that it's time to finally upgrade the server version.

julien-f

@mietek I cannot reproduce the problem with xo-cli@0.17.1, either with xo-server@5.87.0 nor with xo-server@5.111.1.

Anyway, old versions are not supported, please upgrade.

If you have a paying subscription and a special need, please open a support ticket.

mietek

@julien-f OK, server upgrade it is.
Thanks for a prompt reply. Appreciate it.
