Question: MJML couldn't build the propper version of PhantomJS

[frankis]

Just installed a new machine (macOS - 1.13.4) with vscode (1.23.1) with the mjml extension (1.3.0) which basically results in the following:

MJML couldn't build the propper version of PhantomJS. Restart VSCode in order to try it again.

Followed by:

MJML needs to be rebuilt for your current platform. Please wait for the installation to finish...

As its mentioned that there are no dependencies I wonder whats missing here?

Same problem here...

@frankis Could you please try the following?

npm install phantomjs-prebuilt
npm --strict-ssl false rebuild phantomjs-prebuilt

Let me know if this works for you. Thanks!

npm was not installed. After installing npm the error message is gone and the screenshots are working as expected. Thx!

I'm seeing the same issue here. I don't have a global node install though (using nvm). Normally installing the node modules manually at the VS Code workspace root works, but it doesn't here.

Thank you for reporting – I will fix it in the next update.

The issue is fixed on 1.4.0.

I’m experiencing the same issue.

My current setup is macOS Mojave 10.14.4, VSCode 1.35.1, mjml extension 1.6.0

I am also experiencing this issue on Mac Mojave

I was encountering this issue and it seemed related to:

-MacOS could not identify the developer of phantomJS and was not allowing it to be installed. The computer I'm on does not allow me to override this behavior of MacOS.

-PhantomJS is not allowed to be downloaded via npm on my computer due to the package having (supposed) known vulnerabilities, as identified by third-party security service proxy that we use.

I tried to use phantomjs-prebuilt to get around this restriction, and it worked.

I ran npm install phantomjs-prebuilt -g
It had some hiccups (trying to use version of phantomjs it discovered on my system but that failed)
but eventually it installed.

I restarted vscode and then tried running mjml commands in vscode and it gave me the "building mjml for your system" popup, but this time it worked just fine.
