So i'm testing a plugin and i want to create a docker instance of wordpress in the root directory of the plugin with

wp-env start

I'm on ubuntu 20.04 LTS, i've installed npm and nodejs.

dara@hp-laptop-ubuntu-20-04-lts:~$ npm -v
6.14.4

dara@hp-laptop-ubuntu-20-04-lts:~$ nodejs -v
v10.19.0

however when i try to start the instance I get

dara@hp-laptop-ubuntu-20-04-lts:~$ wp-env start
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
    throw err;
    ^

There's a nodegit.node in Build/Release but not in Debug folder with nodegit in it ...

Somehow the directory tree for nodejs build/Debug folder got removed with an old wordpress plugin

Found it again with a

find -iname 'nodegit.node' -type f

Then just copied it back into the

usr/local/lib/node_modules/@wordpress/env/node_modules/

path and everything was OK again ...
