Jan Piotrowski (Sujan) commented on CB-13588:
---------------------------------------------
Anything concerning "wrong content" in npm internal files is in the wrong place
here - please report this at the npm repository.
Could you elaborate on the "fail to copy template" statement in the title? How
does this manifest itself? How can I see that?
[^correct__g_install_fail_using_prefix.png] might be a proper problem for
Cordova. Unfortunately, I can't find the documentation on how `--prefix` is
supposed to work at https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install - Can you help here?

> 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 (CB-13587), 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
> is manifested in all three (**) soltuions presented here, in tow of them
> despite the required '-g' install.
> (*) incorrect handling of npmrc file containing the string
> 'prefix=${APPDATA}\npm' in contrast to the expected behvaior as described in
> https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/npm#directories
> (**) The third one is to install the module into the global node_modules in
> the nodejs installation directory in the same manner as a local install (eg.
> cd into my_nodejs_install_dir and doing an 'npm install cordova') which
> however due to a higher reason has been agreed as an unsupported method, for
> details see CB-13587)
