what is your version of nodejs please ?
Maybe we should add a test on appveyor about this hook.

ooflorent · 2015-04-16T12:26:02Z

Please also provide your npm version!

ki7 · 2015-04-16T13:59:42Z

node -v
v0.10.26

npm -v
1.4.3

ooflorent · 2015-04-16T18:05:10Z

Can you try the following commands?

npm i -g npm@latest
rd /s /q node_modules
npm -v
npm i

It should update npm and try to reinstall the dependencies.

ki7 · 2015-04-17T08:11:14Z

Can't play the rd command, (command not found).

ooflorent · 2015-04-17T08:12:07Z

Anything else that delete the directory is ok.

MoOx · 2015-04-17T10:51:33Z

So does this fix anyting ?

ki7 · 2015-04-17T12:33:51Z

Absolutely not /o.
I'll fallback to postcss instead of cssnext for now.

I'm still looking for the why a postinstall scripts is not executed in the meantime.
If you have any leads (test cases), or anything i can do, i'll be happy to help

MoOx · 2015-04-17T12:37:17Z

Can you clone this repo and run the tests ?

ki7 · 2015-04-17T12:43:13Z

:$ Should have been my first move.
Didn't run the test but the install goes smoothly...

and the test passes...

ki7 · 2015-04-17T13:18:21Z

Well, this more a gulp-cssnext issue?
(cloning gulp-cssnext repo give me the same error)

MoOx · 2015-04-17T13:40:55Z

the thing is, there is a test to know if we are in dev or in non dev if(test('-d', 'dist'))

caniuse-api/package.json

Line 30 in f7f552d

    
           "postinstall": "node -e \"require('shelljs/global');if(test('-d', 'dist'))exec('node dist/generate-features.js')\""

maybe that's the problem

MoOx · 2015-04-28T06:01:04Z

I got a similar issue https://travis-ci.org/putaindecode/putaindecode.fr/builds/60327539

ref Nyalab/caniuse-api#29

MoOx · 2015-04-28T06:59:59Z

I were having issues ("blocked" install - see build lined above) so I tried to make a more node friendly approch (without eval) in the better-postinstall branch. I used it to "fix" the build (not sure what it might change...)
It's a bit verbose but if we got trouble again, we will be able to "dichotomize" the problem :D
https://travis-ci.org/putaindecode/putaindecode.fr/builds/60331275#L122-L127

We will see on this project if the issue happen again and we might eventually merge the changes of the branch (not the branch directly since I got to add dist/ in git to get npm install working from git repo) if no problems came up.

So wait and see.

MoOx · 2015-04-28T07:29:46Z

Well well wel... https://travis-ci.org/putaindecode/putaindecode.fr/builds/60335395

MoOx · 2015-04-28T07:31:51Z

Not sure if this module is responsible.

mark-adams · 2015-04-30T14:11:54Z

We're experiencing the same issue with a build in our CI system (Bamboo). It reaches the post-install and then hangs. It seems to happen sporadically and only happens in CI. I haven't seen it happen locally yet.

I 've activated --loglevel=info for npm install on several place, hopes that helps to find what is happening :/

MoOx · 2015-05-12T07:33:43Z

@mark-adams do you still get the issue recently ?

MoOx · 2016-04-04T12:45:58Z

Closing has nobody complained about this. Maybe track #32.

elliotdickison · 2016-05-10T14:26:38Z

I just started running into this issue... my CI server consistently fails silently when installing this package (as an indirect dep of postcss-cssnext). I'm using [email protected] and [email protected]. Any thoughts?

$ npm install

> [email protected] postinstall /home/gitlab-runner/builds/94361d8d/0/app/node_modules/caniuse-api
> node generator.js

ERROR: Build failed with: exit status 1

MoOx · 2016-05-11T08:49:44Z

No clue. I think it's time to remove the generation step.
