gatsby info not working

[ukch]

Description

When I run gatsby info or gatsby info --clipboard, I see an error.

Steps to reproduce

My gatsby config:

require("dotenv").config({
    path: `.env.${process.env.NODE_ENV}`,
});
module.exports = {
    siteMetadata: {
        title: "MY SITE TITLE",
        api: {
            url: process.env.API_URL,
        },
    },
    plugins: [
        "gatsby-plugin-postcss",
        "gatsby-plugin-react-helmet",
    ]
}

Expected result

Gatsby info should be displayed

Actual result

$ gatsby info

@ukch is this your local machine or server?

[ukch]

@kakadiadarpan local machine. I use Debian Linux as my development environment.

[nakedible]

I have this bug as well, and I use Debian Linux

[stefanprobst]

This works fine for me in a Debian stretch VM. What version of Debian are you using?

Edit: I can reproduce on Debian testing.

[stefanprobst]

Tracked this down: This is a bug in the envinfo package which throws when there is no VERSION field in /etc/os-release.

[nakedible]

The bug has already been fixed in envinfo: tabrindle/envinfo#51

[nakedible]

But apparently there is no release yet which includes the fix, as latest 5.10.0 does not.

[thorn0]

A new version of envinfo has been released. Currently, the latest one is 5.12.1. gatsby-cli has ^5.8.1 in its dependencies. So it should be enough to update the dependencies (e.g. run npm update) for the issue to go away.

@ukch @nakedible @stefanprobst Can you confirm that it's been fixed?
