Installing dependencies fails on GitHub Actions and Vercel

[alizahid]

What happened?

My Expo app is part of a monorepo. There's a GitHub action that runs on every PR that installs dependencies and checks for lint errors and runs a test suite.

I'm installing uniwind-pro by adding "uniwind": "npm:uniwind-pro@beta", to my package.json and I've also added uniwind as a trusted dependencies in my root package.json.

I've followed the CI/CD guide but I'm still running into the libsecret issue.

Both GitHub action and Vercel run on Linux. I also saw the note about EAS building Android on Linux, so will likely run into this issue there once I queue a build.

My Node version is 22, if that makes a difference.

PS: since the first time I setup uniwind-pro locally, bunx uniwind-pro fails with: Missing script: "postinstall"; is that expected? I tried logging out and back in but still the error shows up.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Follow the CI/CD guide https://docs.uniwind.dev/pro/cicd-license
2. Push a commit
3. Watch my world crumble

Hey man!

Let me walkthrough the entire process, so it's less black-boxed.

since the first time I setup uniwind-pro locally, bunx uniwind-pro fails with: Missing script: "postinstall"; is that expected? I tried logging out and back in but still the error shows up.

So, as you mentioned you need to add this dep manually:

"uniwind": "npm:uniwind-pro@beta"

Then, if you type bun install it's gonna fetch CLI package from here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/uniwind-pro

If you type bunx uniwind-pro it will call the CLI so you will get options to either sign in or purchase the license.

If you add uniwind-pro to whitelisted scripts then it's gonna call CLI after each install and it will install uniwind-pro without asking.

Depending on the bun version and how your monorepo is structured uniwind-pro CLI script may not be available after postinstall.

TLDR: Check what do you have inside node_modules/uniwind: CLI code or native code fetched from CDN?

Now regarding libsecret - this dependency is required to authorize the CLI. Unfortunately we use same package for both CI and for local development, so developer is required to install it.

It must be provided before you install uniwind-pro in CI, so something like this is more than enough:

- name: Install libsecret
   run: |
       sudo apt-get update
       sudo apt-get install -y libsecret-1-dev

# Call bun install below

Hi @alizahid we've released new experimental version of uniwind-pro cli that dynamically imports package that was using libsecret under the hood. Which means that your CI should now work without installing libsecret, please try uniwind-pro@1.0.0-beta.8-26012026

[alizahid]

Thanks for getting back @jpudysz.
I do have it setup and my node_modules have the native code. It's okay for the CLI to throw that error if pro is already installed?

Here's what I was thinking;

• Remove unwind from trusted dependencies so it doesn't auto install pro
• That way, Vercel and GitHub actions can run without installing unwind-pro (they don't need it anyway)
• EAS will have its own install script that will update
• and I'll ask people working on mobile to make sure they install uniwind-pro before developing

But I'm assuming from what @Brentlok said, I don't need to do that anymore? I can keep uniwind in trusted and it'll still go through with the new CLI? I'll give it a shot!

It shouldn't really throw the error, we will take a look at it.

But I'm assuming from what @Brentlok said, I don't need to do that anymore? I can keep uniwind in trusted and it'll still go through with the new CLI? I'll give it a shot!

Yes, you can just keep uniwind in trusted and it should work, I've tried it in my github action and it worked like a charm 👌
Waiting for your feedback 🙏

[alizahid]

Okay, I'm happy to report it's all sorted in the experimental version on NPM.

GitHub actions and Vercel build succeed. EAS builds also succeed!
