Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

[minrk]

node 8 seems to make some symlinks that conda-build doesn't like. Will investigate what's up there.

@minrk I restarted the travis build and it passed. Can you restart Appveyor?

[minrk]

The appveyor failures seem to be real. I haven't had a chance to figure out what's going wrong.

[willingc]

@minrk If you can add me to the feedstock team, I can see if I spot anything on Windows.

Looking at the errors, it looks like a PATH error or a / instead of \.

[minrk]

@willingc great idea! Open a PR adding yourself to the maintainers list and I'll merge it. The change takes a while to propagate (it can be hours).

[willingc]

Thanks @minrk.

@willingc I had a look at this again and I think I might know what's up. The first thing I had to change is that npm install -g <path> creates a symlink instead of doing a normal install with npm 5.x. This appears to be a non-optional change (annoying). So what I ended up doing was running npm pack to repackage a tarball, then do npm install -g <tarball> to do a normal install. I think on Windows, my two-line script doesn't work so it's only doing the pack and skipping the next step. The latest commit separates the build into bld.bat so both lines ought to be executed now.

[willingc]

Cool. Looks great and tests pass 🎉 I'll let you merge when you are done tweaking the Windows install commands.

[minrk]

Latest pass was erroneous because it didn't run on Windows. Had to poke it to try again. Hopefully it will work.

The previous build failed, apparently because it simply wasn't running more than one line of bld.bat, which is strange.

For multiline scripts, one can do this.
