Problems installing 20.35.0

[stianjensen]

What happened?

I tried upgrading my Detox setup today, after 20.35.0 released. When installing with yarn, it simply crashes. This only happens with 20.35.0, I tried several earlier versions and they install fine.
I assume this is related to the new wix pilot plugin. Inspecting its dependencies, I see there are quite a few so I would really propose a solution where installing pilot together with Detox is completely optional. It seems like an unnecessary addon feature that many Detox users will not use, so why should everyone get it installed by default, when it requires lots of extra dependencies that can be complicated to install, like canvas.

It should be easy enough to include install instructions where you add an extra dependency on wix-pilot if you want that feature.

Anyway, here's a stacktrace from my install issues:

What was the expected behaviour?

Install should complete as normal

Was it tested on latest Detox?

Hey @stianjensen, I get the issue, thanks for raising it. We weren't familiar with any canvas installation problems (nor can I reproduce it) and not any other dependencies that are complicated to install.

It should be easy enough to include install instructions where you add an extra dependency on wix-pilot if you want that feature.

That's a great idea, we will make it an optional dependency.

Latest Pilot version is a lightweight pure JS package. Should solve this issue #4746
