Homestead: ETXTBSY

Created on 10 Aug 2018  Â·  10Comments  Â·  Source: laravel/homestead

Since I have reinstalled my operating system, I can no longer install a NPM package in my box.

Now I turn to you because I have tried almost everything.
The error is already known. There are many solutions, but none helped me to install at least one package.

Some steps I tried

  • run npm on clean install, everything up to date
  • run npm i -g [email protected] which downgrades the npm to version 5.6.0
  • fresh installation of homestead and laravel
  • try with different boxes (one in project and a box outside of the project)
  • npm install --no-bin-links
  • npm i -g npm
  • config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v| v.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/vagrant", "1"] end
  • npm install -f
  • Github-NPM-20950

Versions

  • Vagrant: 6.3.0
  • Provider: Virtualbox
  • Homestead: branch master

Host operating system

Windows 10

Homestead.yaml

ip: "192.168.10.11"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

keys:
    - ~/.ssh/id_rsa

folders:
    -
        map: C:\project
        to: /home/vagrant/code
sites:
    -
        map: domain.test
        to: /home/vagrant/code/public

databases:
    - homestead

Expected behavior

NPM should be able to install packages.

Actual behavior

npm install

I am having the same problem "ETXTBSY: text file is busy, unlink".

I tried many different things, and these have worked for me ( Although I don't like any of them ):

1 - Downgrade npm version to 5.7.1.
2 - Use Yarn instead of npm.
3 - Install node.js on the host ( windows 10 ) and do npm install from the host.

@dylanbr

I followed your steps. I have open the terminal as administrator also used Process Monitor to check if any process other than Virtualbox is used. Unfortunately npm install still gives me the error!

-------------------------- (edit)-----------------------

Tow more good solutions which I have tested and works perfect.

solution ( 1 ):

1 - vagrant halt.
2- enable SMB inside homestead by adding (type & mount_options): 

folders:
    - map: d:/Homestead_Projects
      to: /home/vagrant/code
      type: "smb"
      mount_options: ["mfsymlinks,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0664"]

3- open your terminal as administrator.
4- vagrant up.. etc... ( It will ask you for your PC username & password to enable SMB).

solution ( 2 ):

1 - vagrant halt.
2- install NFS vagrant's plugin for windows as a shared folders system.
3- enable NFS inside homestead by adding (type): 

folders:
    - map: d:/Homestead_Projects
      to: /home/vagrant/code
      type: "nfs"

4- if you have any anti-virus or firewall softwares.. disable them completely, and also disable your windows's firewall.
5- open your terminal as administrator.
6- vagrant up.. etc.

Not sure how much help we're going to be on this.

Please paste your Vagrantfile

Please paste the full output of running these commands from /home/vagrant/code:

cd /home/vagrant/code
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

Did you remove the node_modules folder before running npm install?

Yes I did. several times. I tried to install with --save flag, without binary links. I run the install comand with sudo. Reinstalled everything.

Here is my Vagrantfile.
I connect to ssh via putty. Run as local admin, or via powershell, as local admin, too.
yarn works fine. it is only npm what cause this errors.

So the good news is I've been able to confirm what you're seeing on my Windows 10 + Virtualbox machine.

The bad news is I don't think it's anything Homestead can fix. It seems to be an issue between NPM & Virtualbox.

One alternative I saw people try was using Yarn, this seemed to work for me:

vagrant@homestead:~/qs$ yarn install --no-bin-links
yarn install v1.7.0
[1/4] Resolving packages...
[2/4] Fetching packages...
info [email protected]: The platform "linux" is incompatible with this module.
info "[email protected]" is an optional dependency and failed compatibility check. Excluding it from installation.
[3/4] Linking dependencies...
[4/4] Building fresh packages...
warning Your current version of Yarn is out of date. The latest version is "1.9.4", while you're on "1.7.0".
info To upgrade, run the following command:
$ curl --compressed -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash
Done in 275.46s.

If you don't want to use yarn, my best workaround suggestion would be to install NPM on your windows machine and run NPM commands from your host OS.

@Eskaaa Same problem. Had to reinstall Windows 10 as well. Do you have a solution in the meantime (other than the workaround posted above)?

jozeflambrecht picture jozeflambrecht on 23 Aug 2018

Hello. No, I did not found a better solution, than installing Node on the host machine. Hope the problem can be fixed in the future.

Eskaaa picture Eskaaa on 24 Aug 2018

The underlying problem is related to how Windows file locking is handled by Virtualbox sharing. It happens whether using standard shared folders (vboxsf) or nfs. If a file is opened or read (locked) by another process while npm is trying to change it the whole install process fails.

How to fix:

  1. Run vagrant up (and other commands) from an administrator terminal. This ensures symlinks work correctly. There are other ways to enable symlinks - if you use one of them be sure to test them out using ln -s a b within the shared folder.
  2. Ensure that no other process opens any of the files in the shared folder by either disabling the process or excluding the vagrant folder. This includes, but is not limited to:

    1. Windows Defender or other anti virus software

    2. Windows search index or other indexing software

    3. Dropbox or other file synchronisation software.

If you are still having issues with point 2 above, you can use Process Monitor, filtered to your vagrant directory, to detect access by any process other than Virtualbox (VBoxHeadless.exe).

With the above in place I am able to successfully run npm install without issue.

dylanbr picture dylanbr on 3 Sep 2018

I am having the same problem "ETXTBSY: text file is busy, unlink".

I tried many different things, and these have worked for me ( Although I don't like any of them ):

1 - Downgrade npm version to 5.7.1.
2 - Use Yarn instead of npm.
3 - Install node.js on the host ( windows 10 ) and do npm install from the host.

@dylanbr

I followed your steps. I have open the terminal as administrator also used Process Monitor to check if any process other than Virtualbox is used. Unfortunately npm install still gives me the error!

-------------------------- (edit)-----------------------

Tow more good solutions which I have tested and works perfect.

solution ( 1 ):

1 - vagrant halt.
2- enable SMB inside homestead by adding (type & mount_options): 

folders:
    - map: d:/Homestead_Projects
      to: /home/vagrant/code
      type: "smb"
      mount_options: ["mfsymlinks,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0664"]

3- open your terminal as administrator.
4- vagrant up.. etc... ( It will ask you for your PC username & password to enable SMB).

solution ( 2 ):

1 - vagrant halt.
2- install NFS vagrant's plugin for windows as a shared folders system.
3- enable NFS inside homestead by adding (type): 

folders:
    - map: d:/Homestead_Projects
      to: /home/vagrant/code
      type: "nfs"

4- if you have any anti-virus or firewall softwares.. disable them completely, and also disable your windows's firewall.
5- open your terminal as administrator.
6- vagrant up.. etc.
