nativescript-cli 🚀 - npm install infinite build

Hi @Kyozatch ,

This is really strange. I assume you are working on Windows, am I right? Could you try executing
$npm install nativescript --verbose and send the output? Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit node?

rosen-vladimirov on 11 Mar 2015

Yes you are right, windows. Node 64-bit.

This is a part of last ouputs :

Kyozatch on 11 Mar 2015

Hi @Kyozatch
I've checked this script and tried installing nativescript-cli on my Windows 8 machine and everything worked fine. The only idea I have is to try executing fiber's build script manually and see what's going on. Just go to C:\Users\KNSD1821\myApp\node_modules\nativescript\node_mo
dules\fibers and execute on your console node ./build.js
If it stays this way for a long time, you can try opening build.js and place some console.log("smth") on several places in it and execute it again. This way we'll get more information on which step the execution is taking a lot of time (or failing silently).

rosen-vladimirov on 11 Mar 2015

Bingo.

...and the script freeze.

Kyozatch on 11 Mar 2015

Hm, this is really strange. We've prebuilt node-fibers and the binary win32-x64-v8-3.14 is fine on our side. I have some ideas, that could help.
First of all, can you try removing your npm-cache (it should be under: C:\Users\KNSD1821\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache) and try installing nativescript again.
If this doesn't help, can you try installing only fibers in any folder, just execute:
npm i https://github.com/icenium/node-fibers/tarball/v1.0.5.1
After that, you should see node_modules directory on the place where you've installed the fibers, navigate to it and try executing node build.js from this directory. nativescript-cli installs fibers in the same way.

If this fails again, could you try installing 32-bit version of nodejs and see if it will work for you.

Also it will be great if you can send the output of node --version and npm --version

Thank you very much for your cooperation. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

rosen-vladimirov on 11 Mar 2015

Cache cleaned doesn't change
but i installed only fibers, and the build.js works :
"
C:\Users\KNSD1821\node_modules\fibers>node build.js
win32-x64-v8-3.14 exists; testing
Binary is fine; exiting "

Should I replace the folder, then ?

Thanks you (!) for your assistance.

Kyozatch on 11 Mar 2015

I'm not sure how you would replace it and use it in nativescript-cli installation. You can try the following:

npm cache clean
npm uninstall -g nativescript
npm install -g nativescript

If the installation fails, you can try replacing fibers folder inside nativescript's node_modules directory. After that, in nativescript's root folder execute npm install. This will take all dependencies from package.json and install them in node_modules. If they are already there, I assume they will not be replaced.

Hope this will make it. As we would like to find out the cause of the issue, could you share your npm version: the output of npm --version should be enough.

rosen-vladimirov on 11 Mar 2015

It doesn't work. My npm version : 1.4.28

Kyozatch on 11 Mar 2015

Hi @Kyozatch , I've just found some links related to similar problem with 1.x version of npm. I've also discussed the issue with some of my colleagues and they've mentioned that they've seen such issue (not exactly with fibers installation, but with other node modules). The solution in most of the cases is to update npm. The easiest way here is to try another node version. Could you install nodejs 0.12.0 and try installing nativescript again. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

rosen-vladimirov on 11 Mar 2015

👍1

Hi @rosen-vladimirov, Sorry i had to go yesterday.

If i downgraded my nodejs version to 0.10.X it's because i thought it was recommanded. The second reason : i have a failure after tns create tnstest :

C:\Users\KNSD1821>tns create tnstest
Failed to retrieve data from npm. Please try again a little bit later.. Error: E
rror: connect ECONNREFUSED

Is it a proxy problem ? I don't think so, i already set proxy variable which works with everything.

BTW, my outputs after a npm i -g nativescript with nodejs v.0.12.0 :

EDIT : I tried last night to create a project on an other windows 8.1 with nodejs 0.12.0 and it works.. so the problem is probably this computer.

Kyozatch on 12 Mar 2015

Hi @Kyozatch
Thanks for sending the log. It indicates that the installation is correct this time. The problem with create command is different, but I believe it is caused by the same reason - it looks like there are some limitations on your machine when connecting to npm and sometimes you are unable to install the packages or they are not fully downloaded. When you create new project, we execute npm install tns-template-hello-world and this is the operation that's failing. As you've seen, the error is ECONNREFUSED, which is nodejs's error for unable to connect. Also npmjs is not the most stable one, so sometimes you'll see this error and the solution is really to try again in 2-3 minutes. Have you tried? If this doesn't help, can you try npm install tns-template-hello-world? If it passes, you can try
tns create test1 --copy-from <path to installation dir of tns-template-hello-world>

rosen-vladimirov on 12 Mar 2015

That's ok. But then, I tried tns platform add android and got :

Copying template files... Failed to retrieve data from npm. Please try again a little bit later.. Error: E rror: connect ECONNREFUSED

It seems that, this problem will always block me somewhere, whatever if i downoald directly the android platform.

Kyozatch on 12 Mar 2015

I've checked our code and before installing the required package from npm, we make http call to http://registry.npmjs.org/ to check the latest version of the package. I assume these calls are failing on your side (as npm install outside of nativescript-cli is working for you). Can you try opening http://registry.npmjs.org/tns-android from your browser and see if you receive result (it should be JSON). Maybe there's a problem with your ironport or machine configuration for accessing registry.npmjs.org

rosen-vladimirov on 12 Mar 2015

No problems. Page full of json.

Kyozatch on 12 Mar 2015

Is it possible that nativescript or npm would have some difficulties when using a corporate's proxy ?
It's weird...

Kyozatch on 12 Mar 2015

Hi @Kyozatch, well npm should be configured in order to work correctly when a corporate proxy is in use. Please take a look at this blog post Can you try the commands mentioned there and see if it will work for you?

rosen-vladimirov on 12 Mar 2015

That's exactly the website i consulted to param npm.. Actually I've no more ideas to solve the problem.

Kyozatch on 12 Mar 2015

Hi @Kyozatch
May I ask you one last thing (once again, thank you very much for your cooperation). Can you try installing this custom package of nativescript-cli. Just download the file and execute:
$ npm i nativescript-0.9.1.tgz -g
After the installation finishes, find the place where nativescript is installed and open <nativescript-cli-dir>\lib\config.js and modify FIDDLER_HOSTNAME to match your proxy.
After that can you try creating new project and adding platforms, so we'll see if this works. We are working on adding support for proxy, but we'll be really greatful if you can test this approach on your side and inform us if it works.
One more thing, the package I've shared is created from this branch, so you can compare it with our latest release branch to see my changes - they are only in the config file.

rosen-vladimirov on 13 Mar 2015

Ok I understand now. When i just try do download this custom package, i have a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
If you use dropbox as cloud, i can't make any download because my corporate block this website. So the problem comes from here ! :)

Kyozatch on 13 Mar 2015

Hi @Kyozatch
No, we do not use dropbox for backend. I've used it just to upload this package in my own dropbox. I'll try to upload it on another place, so you can take the package and try it on your side.

rosen-vladimirov on 13 Mar 2015

Can you try this link - it is from github repo, so it should work this time.

rosen-vladimirov on 13 Mar 2015

Something like that ? :

PROXY_TO_FIDDLER: true,
FIDDLER_HOSTNAME: 'my_proxy', (or 'http://my_proxy' ?)
PROXY_PORT: 80

It didn't work for me.

Kyozatch on 13 Mar 2015

@Kyozatch, the project I've sent you doesn't respect PROXY_PORT option. I've prepared another package, you can download it from here
After you install it, go to installation folder and find config file. In it you will find config.json file - fill in your details (PROXY_PORT, PROXY_HOSTNAME and set USE_PROXY to true) and try again.

Thank you very much!

rosen-vladimirov on 13 Mar 2015

Very great job, it works !!
I can create my project without any problem.

But now I meet a new kind of error when i want to add an android platform to my new project.

C:\Users\KNSD1821\projects\nstest>tns platform add android
Copying template files...
spawn cmd ENOENT

I'm still with nodejs 0.12.0. Should i downgrade to a 0.10.X ?

Kyozatch on 13 Mar 2015

Can you run your command once again by using --log trace:
$ tns platform add android --log trace
and send the output?

rosen-vladimirov on 13 Mar 2015

And nativescript-cli should work fine with nodejs 0.12, so there's no need to downgrade your version :)

rosen-vladimirov on 13 Mar 2015

Seems like "xcopy" is an unknow function. (french logs sorry :P )

Can you try executing android command on your console, just write $ android
I suspect you do not have platform-tools and tools directories from Android SDK added to your PATH. Please note that this is one of our system requirement - check step 5. Installing Android SDK for correct setup.

You're right, $ android doesn't work, but my path looks correct.

PATH :
C:\Users\KNSD1821\AppData\Roamingnpm;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;%ANDROID_HOME%platform-tools;%ANDROID_HOME%tools;%ANT_HOME%\bin;C:\Program Files\nodejs\

ANDROID_HOME :
C:\Users\KNSD1821\AppData\Local\Android\sdk

Hi @Kyozatch

We've checked this error - in android.bat file inside ANDROID_HOMEtools, there's a call to xcopy. It looks like for some reason you do not have xcopy. As this tool is part of Windows installation, I'm not sure how we can help you in this case. On my machine the xcopy is under C:\Windows\System32 directory. Also you can try executing $ echo %PATH% on your console and you'll see the correct resolved paths. See if C:\Windows\System32 is part of your path and if there's xcopy in the specified dir.

I don't know why, but my path to System32 has been delete. So now everything works good !
Thanks you so much for your assistance @rosen-vladimirov !!! You're a prince.
I look forward to start to code :)

Hi @Kyozatch,
I'm glad we've finally succeeded. We wouldn't make it without your help. Hope you'll like NativeScript :)
