Nativescript-cli: "spawn EACCES" when trying to build app, or install plugins via tns

Created on 20 Mar 2017 · 2Comments · Source: NativeScript/nativescript-cli

My inputs/outputs:

$ tns run android
Skipping prepare.
Searching for devices...
Building project...
spawn EACCES

and

$ tns plugin remove nativescript-mapbox
spawn EACCES

It appears there is something wrong with permissions somewhere in my stack, but I am not sure where.

I reinstalled nativescript after this error started to occur, using npm install -g --unsafe-perm nativescript, as per this issue, and the problem persisted.

Happens on node v6.9.1 and v6.10.0, using tns version 2.5.3.
I am on OS X 10.12.3 (Sierra).

Update

I tried using the more verbose tns plugin remove nativescript-mapbox --log trace, and the output is here.

Fix

I just did tns platform remove android; tns platform add android and the problem seems to have fixed itself.
Logging my fix here for anyone else that encounters a similar issue, but I can't explain why this worked.

Cheers!

This error appears really often, at least on my mac.
Cleaning the folders and re-building is time-consuming is there no quicker way to solve this issue?
