Xandor Schiefer commented on CB-9687:
-------------------------------------
Scratch that, the dependencies are installing normally, but with Npm v3.x.x the
node_modules folder has a flat structure instead of a nested structure, only
going deeper when there are conflicts. That explains why the cli cannot find
the module--it's in a different place.
Npm 3.3.3 is since shortly the latest version of Npm (i.e. it's not pre-release
anymore). Anyone that runs a `npm update -g` will have this same issue when
they try to create a new project.
The docs currently don't mention a requirement for a specific version of Npm.
What's strange is that I have the same version of Npm installed on OS X 10.10.5
and the directory structure on that machine is still nested.
> Cannot create new Cordova project
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-9687
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9687
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI
> Environment: Debian 8 "Jessie" Stable
> Node v4.1.0 (installed from this repo: https://deb.nodesource.com/node_4.x)
> Npm v3.3.3
> Cordova 5.1.1, 5.3.1 & 5.3.2-dev (I tried different versions)
> Reporter: Xandor Schiefer
> Priority: Blocker
>
> I cannot create a Cordova project using `cordova create hello`. I get the
> following error:
> {quote}
> Could not find directory:
> /usr/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/cordova-lib/node_modules/cordova-app-hello-world
> {quote}
> `cordova-app-hello-world` is actually located at
> `/usr/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/cordova-app-hello-world`.
> It's worth noting that the whole
> `/usr/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/cordova-lib/node_modules` folder
> doesn't exist.
> I ran `sudo npm install -g --reinstall cordova` with no change in behaviour.
> If I uninstall cordova and reinstall using `sudo npm install -g
> cordova@5.1.1` I get the same error
> It's also affecting other users, see here one user that's trying to add
> Android as a platform to Meteor: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/5006.
> Installing `cordova-cli` and `cordova-plugman` from Git instead of Npm (as
> per https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova#installing-from-master) also
> doesn't work.
