Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

The name of the folder that actual-server is cloned into might cause yarn-install to fail (better-sqlite3 build fail).

I'm running on macOS 13.2.1 (M2), latest version of node installed via brew.

In my home directory I created a folder with a name "Actual Budget". Then in the terminal I navigated to that folder and pasted the git clone command. Following that I ran yarn install, which failed while building better-sqlite3:
➤ YN0009: │ better-sqlite3@npm:8.2.0 couldn't be built successfully (exit code 1, logs can be found here: /private/var/folders/rk/_hmpwzss0gn31q7g7667jmj40000gn/T/xfs-aa2b6d34/build.log)
At the same time a new folder was created in my home directory named "Actual". I guessed the name of the folder in which actual-server resides might be an issue and renamed it from "Actual Budget" to "ab". Then I ran yarn install again and it completed successfully.

What error did you receive?

The log file is attached below

Hi! This looks like an issue in either better-sqlite3 or node-gyp or one of their dependencies. I don’t think there’s anything we can do to fix it here, but please report it to them so they can get it fixed.
