Pkg: Access Denied when using PKG on MacOS and Linux

[fisch3r]

Hi there,
I installed the latest pkg (4.3.4):
npm install pkg -g
Then I execute pkg:
pkg ./bin/backend.js --target node6-win-x86 -o ./dist/backend.exe

Error Message:
`> [email protected]

Error! Error: EACCES: permission denied, scandir '/.DocumentRevisions-V100'`

My node version: 7.5.0

I tried the following so far:

• reinstalling pkg
• setting PKG_CACHE_PATH to the current working directory like:
  PKG_CACHE_PATH=/Users/someuser/mypkgcache

It also occurs on my build server (Linux), only the folder is different: /.cache
Any ideas here?

Just guessing: Could this be related to #528 ?
Would you mind re-running with pkg ./bin/backend.js --target node6-win-x86 -o ./dist/backend.exe -d (note the -d at the end) and sending the last ~20 lines of the output?

Here is the output with the -d option:

It is indeed the same error. I found a module which contains filepaths to "/.js" etc. I fixed the problem locally by checking for leading slashes and removing them. Also added a pull request for the fix.

Can confirm. Had the same error from a third party dependency to a array-from polyfill. Watch the debug output and check the last package.json for things like https://github.com/studio-b12/array-from/blob/24de20f9f765a3ba18400fda43b2e4e1b70a0541/package.json#L28 as mentioned in #528

@fisch3r Thanks. I can confirm that this bug is no longer apparent when using your version of pkg (npm install --save-dev fisch3r/pkg#bug/524).
