Yarn setup: error while creating tables

Developer help Installation
1

I’m intending on modding Ghost for custom fields, so I’m trying to build from source.

At first yarn setup was failing for me because of a node version conflict with concurrently, so I’m now on Node 14.20.0. Now that I’m on a more updated v14, the setup command seems to be failing in the middle of creating tables. Edit: I also tried: deleting the whole folder, cloning from github, and running yarn setup; and installing Node v16 via nvm and attempting yarn setup.

knex-migrator is version 5.0.3, ember-cli is version 3.24.0. I’m on Mac OS 10.14.

Here’s the relevant error text:

Hey @thely :slightly_smiling_face: I just pushed a commit to fix this: Protected against missing NODE_ENV variable · TryGhost/Ghost@ae336f1 · GitHub. Would you mind doing a git pull?

That fixed it, @daniellockyer! As a note, the admin templates don’t load in node v16, but they do in v14.20. There’s an ember warning to that effect, but it’s worth mentioning. If nothing else, I figured I’d leave this comment in case it helps someone else.
