[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#987967: jade replaced by pug for ages, doesn't work anymore

[Stefan Bühler]

Package: node-jade
Version: 1.11.0+~cs4.1.0-1
Severity: grave

Hi,

https://www.npmjs.com/package/jade says last release was 6 years ago and
it got replaced by pug.

Also it doesn't work anymore in bullseye for two reasons:

1. CLI tool broken due to "--name" conflicting with existing property:

---
Error: option 'name' clashes with existing property 'name' on Command
- call storeOptionsAsProperties(false) to store option values safely,
- or call storeOptionsAsProperties(true) to suppress this check,
- or change option name
---

2. It fails: parseMax got removed in character-parser:

https://github.com/ForbesLindesay/character-parser#parsemax

With this as test.jade:
---
div(class='test')
---

And renaming --name to --nameX in /usr/share/nodejs/jade/bin/jade.js it
fails like this:
---
$ jadejs test.jade

/usr/share/nodejs/jade/lib/runtime.js:240
  throw err;
  ^

TypeError: test.jade:1
  > 1| div(class='test')
    2|

characterParser.parseMax is not a function

}

This is also the reason why isso doesn't build anymore: see

TypeError: Jade:1"
