Node-gyp: Change NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR to NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR to solve npm install error

[superclarkk]

gyp WARN download NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR is deprecated and will be removed in node-gyp v4, please use NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR

[bnoordhuis]

What exactly are you reporting? Does something not work?

[superclarkk]

npm reports that NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR is deprecated. Occurrences of this variable need to be changed to NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR

[bnoordhuis]

You've got it the wrong way around, it's node-gyp that prints the warning. You have NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR set in your environment and that will stop working in the next major release.

Closing, not a bug.

I see - thanks for the clarification. I don't use node-gyp directly, but node-gyp rebuild is run automatically when node.bcrypt.js is installed, which is when this warning is generated.

It transpires that nvm sets the NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR variable in the latest version of nvm.sh and, indeed, NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR is not set.

So, it seems like bcrypt isn't going to install correctly when NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR is removed, and end-users will have to explicitly configure NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR. It seems like a potentially unnecessary configuration step for a lot of people.

If this is the case, is there anything that can be done to make it easier for those people? Do you think 'nvm' should set up the new variable in its script, or is there something bcrypt can do?

[bnoordhuis]

Do you think 'nvm' should set up the new variable in its script

It should, and - in newer releases - it will. We discussed it with the maintainer of nvm before putting in that change.

[superclarkk]

OK, that's good to hear. nvm doesn't set up the variable yet, but hopefully it will come shortly.
Thanks for explaining all this.

I'm still seeing this under node 7.2.1. Which configuration files are likely to be out of date on my setup?

[lfreneda]

same here @w@

[YesThatAllen]

In my case, I solved this when reverting to 6.9.1 LTS. I haven't tried upgrading to v7 again.

If you don't need to override the mirror, you can add this to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc after you source nvm.sh to remove the warning:

unset NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR

I just opened https://github.com/creationix/nvm/issues/1429 to fix this in nvm proper.

@bnoordhuis I think you may have misunderstood https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/787#issuecomment-152363993 - nvm is not planning on adding support for $NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR any time soon (although I don't object to doing so in the future; it's just not worth the extra complexity at this time).

Upgrading to the last NVM version solved the issue for me. 0.33.2
