[BUG] Generation failing with Generator Error: Installation failed

[talglobus]

Describe the bug.

Whenever I try to generate anything, I get Generator Error: Installation failed

Here's an example I tried from the website:

asyncapi generate fromTemplate https://bit.ly/asyncapi @asyncapi/html-template -o example
┌  AsyncAPI Generator
│
◇  Generation failed
Generator Error: Installation failed

Expected behavior

Generations work correctly

Screenshots

How to Reproduce

1. Install asyncapi with bun
2. $ asyncapi generate fromTemplate https://bit.ly/asyncapi @asyncapi/html-template -o example
3. Use ^+C (Mac) to quit in the middle of the generate operation
4. Try generating anything and observe error

Note I've uninstalled and reinstalled the CLI multiple times since and found the error to be durable

It is working fine in my machine, can you share a screen recording of it @talglobus

[derberg]

please run generation with --debug flag and share the log

Happens for me too, on multiple projects. Did not happen before, so I suspect this has to do with a new version of a template or something.

Debug log is:

AsyncAPI anonymously tracks command executions to improve the specification and tools, ensuring no sensitive data reaches our servers. It aids in comprehending how AsyncAPI tools are used and adopted, facilitating ongoing improvements to our specifications and tools.

To disable tracking, please run the following command:
  asyncapi config analytics --disable

Once disabled, if you want to enable tracking back again then run:
  asyncapi config analytics --enable

It appears this bug was introduced in 2.3.12 of the html template. I don't have this problem with versions prior to that, going back to 2.3.8. So, pinning the version in the template is a solution, e.g. @asyncapi/[email protected]. FYI @talglobus.

[bjhartin]

I should mention I'm using the docker image 'asyncapi/cli' at tag 'c03a2a76e1e4' to perform the generation via:

# Has the problem using template 2.3.12
docker run --user=root \
   --rm \
   -v "$VOLUME_MAPPING" \
   -v ${PWD}/output:"$OUTPUT_FOLDER_IN_CONTAINER" \
   asyncapi/cli generate fromTemplate \
   -o "$OUTPUT_FOLDER_IN_CONTAINER" \
   "$DOC_IN_CONTAINER" \
   @asyncapi/[email protected] \
   --force-write \
   -p sidebarOrganization=byTagsNoRoot
