Vagrant provision fails with error: "npm: command not found"

[zaksoup]

Trying to set up the vagrant dev environment but provisioning is failing with error:

==> Vaprobash: >>> Starting to config Node.js
==> Vaprobash: /tmp/vagrant-shell: line 62: npm: command not found
==> Vaprobash: >>> Start installing Global Node Packages
==> Vaprobash: /tmp/vagrant-shell: line 78: npm: command not found```

This might be an issue only with Vaprobash: https://github.com/fideloper/Vaprobash/blob/master/scripts/nodejs.sh#L59 seems to be the relevant output.

There also seem to be some relevant issues over at Vaprobash:
fideloper/Vaprobash#172
fideloper/Vaprobash#136

Hmm what was the output below ">>> Installing Node Version Manager" and ">>> Installing Node.js version $NODEJS_VERSION"?

[zaksoup]

@tobscure I missed something: the output is slightly different when running vagrant up from a clean slate as opposed to running vagrant provision on a running (but previously failed) vm.

The first time I see this:

==> Vaprobash: Running provisioner: shell...
    Vaprobash: Running: /var/folders/6k/qlkg2mzd5c972bpfm81t1glh0000gp/T/vagrant-shell20150925-45786-hu1f8p.sh

[this is where curl barfs all over vagrant's output]

After installing ZSH and Phantomjs it finally fails:

The second run fails much quicker:
It does some apt getting from ubuntu's repos and then

==> Vaprobash: >>> Installing Node Version Manager
==> Vaprobash: >>> NVM is already installed in /home/vagrant/.nvm, trying to update
=>  Vaprobash: -ne
==> Vaprobash: Already up-to-date.
==> Vaprobash: >>> Source string already in /home/vagrant/.profile
==> Vaprobash: nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to "/home/vagrant/npm"
==> Vaprobash: Run `nvm use --delete-prefix v4.1.1 --silent` to unset it.
==> Vaprobash: >>> Installing Node.js version latest
==> Vaprobash:     This will also be set as the default node version

[more curl barf]

==> Vaprobash: v4.1.1 is already installed.
==> Vaprobash: Now using node v4.1.1 (npm v2.14.4)
==> Vaprobash: nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to "/home/vagrant/npm"

I'm not sure if the nvm issue with prefix is a red herring, but the git errors definitely seem to indicate that one of those issues I linked above isn't entirely fixed.

I encountered and fixed this yesterday, but forgot to push it. :(

I will do that on Monday.

[zaksoup]

hey @franzliedke, any chance you could let me know what the fix was so I can apply it locally this weekend? I wanted to play around a bit for fun. If not, no worries 😄

[franzliedke]

The last line in your error log output. - - delete-prefix or something. But
use "stable" rather than the version number.
