Node 16 problems?

[mixmix]

I was trying to use ssb-db2 in my updated ssb-ahoy launcher, and got this error:

App threw an error during load
Error: No native build was found for platform=linux arch=x64 runtime=electron abi=103 uv=1 libc=glibc node=16.13.2 electron=18.0.1

This is the current latest electron which internally runs Node 16.

This change fixed it:

const validate2 = require('ssb-validate2')
// const validate2 =
//   typeof localStorage === 'undefined' || localStorage === null
//     ? require('ssb-validate2-rsjs-node')
//     : require('ssb-validate2')

@mycognosist might now :)

Challenging my memory over here ':)

The code shown in @mixmix's fix is used to determine the runtime environment and pull in the appropriate package (are we running in the browser or in node?).

Now I see that Electron is not currently supported by ssb-validate2-rsjs-node (ssbc/ssb-validate2-rsjs-node#13).

I know I had trouble with this part in the past

require('ssb-validate2-rsjs-node')

Something about a rust-based dependency being used on an m1 architecture mac.

Likewise I think I fixed it by changing to the pure node version -- const validate2 = require('ssb-validate2')
