Redoc: ERROR "cache folder contains root-owned files"

[adamdecaf]

I'm running into an error when installing redoc (v2.0.0-rc.19 and v2.0.0-rc.27). It seems to have started today after a successful build yesterday.

npm ERR! Your cache folder contains root-owned files, due to a bug in
npm ERR! previous versions of npm which has since been addressed.

Here's the most simple Dockerfile which reproduces this. I'm trying to redoc-cli bundle a spec to serve with nginx as part of a larger static website. I have also tried with images between node:10-buster through node:14-buster along with node:13-alpine.

I have also tried to chmod and chown the npm directory, but npm installs anyway.

FROM node:14-buster
RUN npm --version
RUN npm install -g --save redoc-cli

Here's the output I'm getting.

I'm available to test alternative configs or further debug, but I'm not sure how to get around this.

I'm experiencing a similar problem, however I'm using pnpm and the errors I get are slightly different, I'll share my findings however.

Today, [email protected] got released, which has node@13 as a dependency. Everything works fine if I add [email protected] to my dependencies. Could you check if that fixes it for you?

[adamdecaf]

Sweet, that seems to work for me!

FROM node:14-buster
RUN npm --version
RUN npm install -g --save [email protected] redoc-cli

[adamdecaf]

[email protected] has been released which fixes this

@adamaltman thanks for the info. Closing this.
