------------------------------------------------------------
The frontend-maven-plugin successfully installs node and npm through the
install-node-and-npm execution AND it supports the installation of specific
versions of each. It also caches node/npm in the local .m2 cache for offline
builds. However the frontend-maven-plugin install-bower execution is broken
(https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin/issues/461) and does not
support requesting a specific version.
This issues:
* a. Broken build due to bower install failing
* b. Nifi must support offline builds
* c. **If possible** we would like to install node/npm/bower from a maven
repository
Below are the options and a description of how each option solves the issues:
* 1. Remove the broken frontend-maven-plugin install-bower execution and
instead create a package.json (with bower as the only dependency) and then
allow npm to install bower.
** a. Fixes the build AND supports specific versioning of bower in
package.json
** b. Bower supports an --offline flag and we already have a bower.options
maven property setup to support any/all bower cli options…also the
frontend-maven-plugin caches node/npm in the local .m2 cache for installation
in offline mode. Npm also supports a –cache-min flag so we can install bower
from the npm cache….
*** This solution fixes the build, installs specific node/npm versions online
or offline via the local .m2 cache, installs a specific version of bower to be
installed online or offline via the local .npm cache, and also allows bower to
install nifi deps online or offline via the local .bower cache in a custom
location.
** c. If we have control over a nexus repository we could throw the
compressed node/npm/bower files in there…
* 2. Remove bower and let npm handle deps. Most packages available through
bower are also available through npm and it could be argued that npm is a
*better* package manager (although for Nifi needs bower is fine)
(https://gofore.com/stop-using-bower/)
** a. Fixes the build
** b. Npm supports a –cache-min that looks like it will work for Nifi’s
offline needs but it has some short comings
(https://addyosmani.com/blog/using-npm-offline/). There are some alternatives
but these options seem to be work arounds to the problem or are unmaintained:
(https://www.npmjs.com/package/offline-npm
https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-offline
https://github.com/nolanlawson/local-npm
*** This solution fixes the build by removing bower altogether, installs
specific node/npm versions online or offline via the local .m2 cache, and
installs nifi deps online or offline view the local .npm cache. However npm is
not so nice about allowing us to define a custom location for the installed
deps.
** c. If we have control over a nexus repository we could throw the
compressed node/npm files in there…
* 3. Remove node/npm/bower/frontend-maven-plugin and bundle client deps with
Nifi like we do with jQuery and d3.
** a. Fixes the build
** b. Builds online or offline No need for node/npm/bower
** c. No need for node/npm/bower so all good

> Components: Tools and Build
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0

> Assignee: Scott Aslan
>
> Often times when building the NiFi source, the installation of bower fails
> and thus the whole build fails.
