Lukas Plachy commented on CB-13536:
-----------------------------------
Im very sorry, but I know fairly well how the -g is supposed to work in this
matter, in this case the culprit is the incorrect handling of npmrc file
containing the string 'prefix=${APPDATA}\npm'. Nevertheless, if this is
deleted, than the npm is able to work with paths as expected. But this problem
itslef is no concern of yours, Ive allready started an issue in npm
here:https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/19188
So back to cordova:
If the npm is run without the wrong content in npmrc, then as you may see,
cordova create fails again in the very same way, even when the npm is allready
able to work as expected. [^correct__g_install_fail_npmrc.png]
If you are not comfort with the "local install" override, or the npmrc content
deletition, then you might find the command '*npm install -g cordova --prefix
D:\mynodejsdirectory\*' more compliant with correct usage. And as you may see
([^correct__g_install_fail_using_prefix.png]), the error which this ticket is
about, remains in place in all three soltuions I have presented you here,
despite the '-g' install. So I still have to insist on the fact, that there is
someting wrong in Cordova code.
Maybe, but Im not very happy do be forced to dig that deep, since these are
just guesses without deeper understanding, some issue in the cordova file
https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/blob/e2e42fd10bbcda65db27be4d3e5e8c998d1beaa3/src/cli.js#L522
when resolving the ~ or much deeper, in the 'cordova-create' library
https://github.com/apache/cordova-create/blob/53d5894c849193073e65727033e27c8d2e428ac8/index.js#L35
?
And please let me make one more note: While one may deeply appreciate the
effort of yours in the work on these packages or solving the issues, Im not
convinced that such abrupt closing of an issue as you did in your previous post
is serving you and the cordova right. Instead of analysing the problem and
perhaps making at least one primitive look into the code which you should know
way better then I, you are trying 'to learn an eagel fly' by trying to convince
me that I just misunderstood the '-g' argument. And I certainly cant stand to
that.
