1.16.0+dfsg-1 FTBFS Error: File not found with singular glob: /usr/share/nodejs/knockout-sortable/build/knockout-sortable.js

[Athos Ribeiro]

As discussed in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1006060,
rainloop FTBFS with

Error: File not found with singular glob: /usr/share/nodejs/knockout-sortable/build/knockout-sortable.js (if this was purposeful, use `allowEmpty` option)

There is a fix available in

https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/rainloop/-/commit/5ce91f436d0390e0f6102b60aba54681618b4500 or

Since the latest gulp-util update (in -proposed), build are also failing with:

Error: Cannot find module 'gulp-util'.

The following salsa MR fixes the issue by moving away from gulp-util (deprecated):

After applying the patches above, we are left with the following error:

As per https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/14532, using the new openssl-legacy-provider node option is a valid workaround. Unfortunately, the new option is only available from node 17 and on (we currently ship node 16 in -proposed).

If node >= 17 was available, adding the following line before the gulp call in d/rules should solve the issue:
echo '{ "flags": { "nodeFlags": ["--openssl-legacy-provider"] } }' > .gulp.json

A definitive fix lies in https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/14584, which was released in webpack 5.61.0: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.61.0

sergiodj has proposed backporting the nodejs option to nodejs 16 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nodejs/+bug/1974226
