Cannot run example through docker Quickstart

[znaeem]

I was not able to get the Mephisto project running on my machine. Particularly I cannot get the static_test_script.py to run, in the "Running your first task" guide , however the command mephisto check returns Mephisto seems to be set up correctly. I then tried to run it with docker, as did my colleague, and came across the same error, which is the following:

Thanks for reporting @znaeem, looking into this.

[pringshia]

@znaeem - I'm having a hard time reproducing this.

• Did you install via cloning down the repo and then running the Docker command?
• Are you on the latest version of the repo? What do you get after running the following: git rev-parse --short HEAD

[pringshia]

Ah I think I see the issue, it seems that we accidentally dropped a few dependencies in a recent vulnerability clean up. I'm working on putting up a PR for this now, apologies for any inconvenience.

In the meanwhile, you can also resolve with the following:

cd mephisto/abstractions/blueprints/static_html_task/source/package.json
npm install --save mephisto-task

[spxneo]

still getting this error, not sure why its such a struggle even after using docker (that is supposed to take care of all these dependency issue).
