Cannot install on Windows #56

milesj · 2015-06-11T03:03:54Z

This is my setup:

Windows 7
Python 2.7.2 installed to C:\Python27
Node.js 0.12.4 and NPM 2.10.1 installed via the Windows installer
Atom 0.208.0 and APM 0.171.0 installed via the Windows installer

I keep receiving the following errors when executing the scripts\dev\setup file. I'm also running this as an administration through the command prompt.

My projects are installed to a separate drive, the E: drive, so I'm curious if that's an issue in itself.

I've also tried this patch found in another issue, no go. https://github.com/apuckey/nuclide/commit/f33bdcef41125de52724e36a224f0f2688d03124

Any help would be appreciated.

I believe 5903a22 should fix things for you. My test environment was:

Windows 7
Python 2.7.6
Node 0.12.4
npm 2.10.1
Atom 0.208.0

The root README.md has been updated to call out how the setup script should be run on Windows:

python scripts\dev\setup

In particular, you should not have to run it as an administrator! In particular, I suspect it might cause other problems down the road if you do.

milesj · 2015-06-12T02:13:49Z

Updated master to the latest, still not working.

@milesj What happens when you run the failed npm install command manually from the command line? I'm suspicious that npm was installed such that you have to be an administrator to use it (or perhaps just to write to your ~/.npm directory).

I identified some common problems people were having at #23 (comment).

milesj · 2015-06-12T17:34:00Z

I use NPM/Node constantly, even before attempting to install this. I could try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if it makes a difference.

bolinfest · 2015-06-12T17:45:18Z

For good measure, could you run git clean -xfd first? Maybe there's some bad stuff leftover from previous attempts?

bolinfest · 2015-06-12T18:41:59Z

I'll reopen.

milesj · 2015-06-13T01:00:56Z

Still getting the same error. I have a pretty unusual setup, so I'm wondering if that's the issue. All of my programs are installed to E: instead of C:, so maybe it's a cross drive permissions issue?

Are there any logs being written that I can dig into?

Also running npm install works fine. Just errors out because no package.json.

Late today I updated the scripts to provide a little more info on failure.
Could you update and try again?

There are some spaces in my paths but none of which related to these tools. Here's both my user and system paths.

milesj · 2015-06-13T01:31:48Z

I believe I found the issue. Gimme a few minutes.

milesj · 2015-06-13T01:43:52Z

Yeah, turned out that git wasn't in my path. That error wasn't apparent till I tried running npm install in the nuclide-node-transpiler folder, as I assumed NPM was downloading archives, not using git. I also recently switched to SourceTree for git projects, which has a self contained git, and the old system git was removed.

Sorry about that.

Perhaps if there's a way to grab the error message from npm install, might be useful in the future, instead of simply saying that the call failed.

bolinfest · 2015-06-13T02:15:07Z

Ah ha, thanks! I believe there is one transitive Node dependency that is
specified by Git URI or something like that. This likely explains the
failures that others are seeing, as well. We'll fix the docs and dump the
error messages, as you suggest.

Out of curiosity, how did you choose to clone the Nuclide repo if Git isn't
on your path? Some sort of GUI?

I just re-read your post. I guess SourceTree caused the problem?

SourceTree uses its own Git, so cloning that is no issue. Once I started using the command line outside of SourceTree (Windows cmd prompt), Git was no longer available.

bolinfest · 2015-06-13T14:40:04Z

FYI, it is this transitive dependency in a package.json that causes the issue:

"jasmine-node": "git+https://github.com/kevinsawicki/jasmine-node.git#81af4f953a2b7dfb5bde8331c05362a4b464c5ef",

So npm install doesn't normally need Git, but for this dependency, it does.

I'm updating the System Requirements to reflect this.

milesj · 2015-06-13T20:05:41Z

Nice find.

Is there a way for Nuclide to include that dependency manually and avoid Git while having the package that requires it use the local one? Not sure how much customization NPM allows unlike Composer.

bolinfest · 2015-07-07T23:25:28Z

@milesj Yes! I moved our test runner (that depends on jasmine-focused, which depends on git+https://github.com/kevinsawicki/jasmine-node.git#81af4f953a2b7dfb5bde8331c05362a4b464c5ef) into a new nuclide-jasmine package, which is now listed under devDependencies in all of our package.json files as of 33ffc40.

If you use npm install --production, it will not try to install devDependencies. This is good for end-users because apm install calls npm install --production. However, we assume that developers are trying to develop, so we don't want to exclude devDependencies when npm install is called from ./scripts/dev/setup.

So I'm not sure if this fixes things for you in the developer case, but it will fix things for users who install the prebuilt packages via Atom and do not have Git on their $PATH.
