Trying to run the project on my system about starlight

[delucis]

Thanks for reporting @uyiekpen! Just checked with one of our maintainers who has a Windows computer and they said they remembered seeing something similar, but running pnpm i again fixed it for them, so maybe try that as a first step. If that doesn’t work, let me know — perhaps sharing a bit more of the error log.

Were you looking to contribute something specific or did you want to build a website with Starlight?

Thanks for sharing. It looks like during dependency installation, Puppeteer fails to download Chromium correctly.

Puppeteer is only needed for running our accessibility test, which we do in a GitHub Action, so is not essential for local development (unless you wanted to run the accessibility test locally but let’s skip that for now).

To unblock your work, I’d suggest the following:

cd docs
pnpm un pa11y-ci
pnpm i

This will remove pa11y-ci (the tool that’s pulling in Puppeteer) as a dependency and then hopefully you can successfully install all the other dependencies. Avoid committing the updated package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml files while you work and we should be OK hopefully 🤞

I’ll also take a look if there’s something we can do to help avoid forcing people through that big download just to get started.

Oh, and one other option might be to try using something like Gitpod! Because they’re installing dependencies on their servers and you’re just editing in the browser, sometimes they can help in these situations. We have a short guide to setting up the repo with Gitpod too. @sarah11918 who is the Astro Docs Lead contributes like this very often, so let us know if you feel like trying that and run into anything!

Hi @uyiekpen — just tidying up issues, and I think this one is resolved so I will close it. Don’t hesitate to post further if you have questions though!
