Lukas Plachy commented on CB-13536:
-----------------------------------
Well, well, well ... so we have the intermediate cause of this problem: When
installed in default paths, the whole thing works like a charm. Siee attached
screenshots ([^cordova_create_over_nvm_std_dirs.png] and
[^cordova_create_direct_MSI_install_std_dirs.png]), however the do not bring
any addtitional information.
So let me make an 'expert guess', just only as a small hint from my (bad)
experience: The error message string construction in the source code uses a
different 'base_path' variable (I do not know the exact name of the variable,
Im just guessing there must be such a one) than the real command trying to copy
the file(s), which definitely uses some other construction or a different
'base_path' variable.
That is for me currently the final state of this ticket, Im afraid I cant help
you anymore. Of course I'll try to find some workaround and if succesfull, then
I'll append it here (and report to our sysadmins so that they are aware of the
risk of Roaming profile bloating out of controll), but the solution itself
remains most probably in the code, unless Im missing something else.
Thanks for cooperation and help so far and many thanks for the tip with the
default directories. Should I be able to help you with anything else or if any
detailed information shall be needed, do not hesitate to contact me through
this ticket or directly through my profile.
>>> Knowledge base addendum when trying to work with direct install from MSI
>>> and not the using nvm:
FOR ANYONE to whom it may concern when facing the issue (on Windows) that after
'npm install -g anything' the module being installed (if a CLI present) does
not work in CLI, please note following:
- the '-g' means, that the new packages of nodejs will be installed not into
the nodejs directory (default C:\Program Files\nodejs) but into the
'C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\npm' directory.
- the problem above is overriden (probably during 'npm install -g npm', but
also only my guess) in such a way, that the C:\Users\.....\npm is appended into
the %PATH% variable, however one has to restart also the cmd.exe (commandline
console in windows) in order to load and use the newly altered %PATH variable%
- if you need to install some module "globally" but into a custom directory,
then it might be done by 'cd my_nodejs_directory' and do a non-global 'npm
install something', however this may result into unexpected behaviour, if the
module in question does not expect this (such as the case of this ticket)
