Example code, silently failing?

[NickCarton]

Hi,

I've been trying out neonplanaria and have been going through the documentation here.

However, when copying the example WeatherSV planaria code, I run node index.js and nothing happens, no console.logs are executed nor does anything else get invoked.

Do you have any idea what might be the issue?

Node Version: v12.9.1
NPM Version: 6.11.2
Package Manager: yarn version 1.13.0

Running on WSL Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.
Also tested on Powershell on Windows 10

@NickCarton can you try cloning this and see if that works?

So I found that the npm install hangs if make isnt installed, so now it works fine.

I ran the example and it runs like a charm, so I guess something is wrong with version 0.0.39 of neonplanaria? as 0.0.15 works fine.

I upgraded neonplanaria to 0.0.39 in the neonlevel example and it hung. I'll try putting all this into a docker container and see if I can replicate again.

Might be an issue with WSL or maybe my node install, but I haven't had any issues like this in other projects, I'll dig around further.

Strange, I have it working fine within a docker container with the following Dockerfile

RUN apk add make automake git python g++
 
WORKDIR /app

COPY ./package.json .
COPY ./package-lock.json .

RUN yarn

COPY . .

RUN node index

However, if you swap out yarn for npm install, I get an issue when it tries to clone

npm ERR! code 128
npm ERR! Command failed: git clone --depth=1 -q -b master git://github.com/bitpay/node-buffers.git /root/.npm/_cacac

Just got back and tried out some other filters, with one working in 0.0.15.
After testing out the filter in 0.0.15 it worked fine, so I upgraded to 0.0.39.

the code works after waiting a few minutes, it looks like the code hangs but continues to log out after a few minutes.

However, I only have it working when using yarn, not npm install
