au new --here fails to scaffold project #1188

davidsk · 2020-11-15T20:00:37Z

I'm submitting a bug report

Library Version:
2.0.2

Please tell us about your environment:

Operating System:
Windows 10
Node Version:
15.0.1
NPM Version:
7.0.3
Browser:
n/a
Language:
n/a
Loader/bundler:
n/a

Current behavior:
calling au new ( or npx makes aurelia/v1) returns an error:

Global aurelia-cli v2.0.2
makes v2.0.1 https://makes.js.org
Cannot find git repo aurelia\v1
npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path C:\Dev\Scratch\aurelia-routing-with-backend
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /d /s /c ""makes" "aurelia\v1" "--here""

What is the expected behavior?
Command completes without error

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

3cp · 2020-11-15T22:12:24Z

It looks like win32 rewrote aurelia/v1 to aurelia\v1 because it thinks it's a local path.

cli/lib/commands/new/command.js

Line 7 in 02365f8

    
           spawn('npx', ['makes', 'aurelia/v1', ...args], {stdio: 'inherit', shell: true});

It's probably the behaviour of spawn in child_process. I will run some tests.

3cp · 2020-11-15T22:19:42Z

In the meanwhile, you can directly do npx makes aurelia/v1 --here.

davidsk · 2020-11-16T14:16:11Z

I'm afraid that doesn't work either, the forward-slash is swapped for out for a backslash

npx makes aurelia/v1 --here

You can see it recognises the forward-slash up until and including line 30 but line 36 shows it's flipped it.

Tried this with Powershell, VSCode Terminal (also Powershell but why not?) and cmd.exe, all the same

Pretty sure I tried this before logging the issue but I wanted to confirm.

Thanks very much for the investigation! I have not got a windows machine to try yet.

Probably node/npm/npx rewrote the arguments?
I can try to bypass this issue in "makes" implementation. Will let you know when it's ready.

3cp · 2020-11-17T00:42:30Z

Pls try au new again.

davidsk · 2020-11-18T10:32:55Z

au new worked after I installed the upgraded makes package. Thanks.

3cp · 2020-11-18T10:45:36Z

You don't need to install makes. Npx makes (which au new simply wraps) works with zero installation. This is a feature of npx, it fetches from latest npm package if you didn't install it.

3cp · 2020-11-18T10:47:35Z

With zero install, npx makes always uses latest makes version. It doesn't keep makes in your npm global installed packages.

davidsk · 2020-11-18T15:32:17Z

TL;DR;
I'm up and running and your assistance is very much appreciated.

I must have been doing something wrong then as simply running au new didn't do the job. I still have the console output:

Sounds like you have a trapped local makes v2.0.1 somewhere.
First make sure it's not installed globally, npm uninstall -g makes.

Then in the folder where it didn't work, use node command to go into REPL mode of nodejs. In console, try

require.resolve("makes");

That will tell you where the "makes" is installed. I am guessing somewhere in a parent_folder/node_modules. You can remove that parent_folder/node_modules if it's created by an accidental npm i xxx (accidentally missed out -g) in that folder.

davidsk · 2020-11-19T20:55:15Z

I've removed the makes package and tried to identify the 'trapped' makes package but it's doesn't appear to be there...

🤷‍♂️

3cp · 2020-11-20T04:01:17Z

I have no idea why and where it kept the old v2.0.1, my au new doesn't have the problem.

Maybe try resetting all npm caches npm cache clear --force.

Do you use or your company use an internal npm server like https://verdaccio.org?

3cp · 2020-11-20T04:03:43Z

It looks like your makes is not fetched from remote

C:\Dev\Scratch\aurelia-routing-with-backend> npx au new --here

My log shows extra line npx: installed 1 in 1.xxxs.

davidsk · 2020-11-20T14:06:10Z

Nope, this is personal dev stuff, no company shenanigans.

I ran npx makes@2.1.1 aurelia/v1 and it worked as expected but it did prompt me to confirm "download(ing) 1 package". Works again if I run it a second time but this time without the prompt. require.resolve("makes") shows nothing either but it does look like there's a secret local cache somewhere.

Cleared my npm cache as you suggested but au new still fails though 😢

3cp · 2020-11-21T02:39:06Z

Just noticed you are on npm 7 with node 15. That might be the cause. I will try that version.

Yes, npx in npm 7 definitely changed behaviour, it now install the package somewhere. The somewhere must be the hidden cache in your case.

⋊> ~/playground npx makes aurelia/v1                                                                                                                                                                21:18:07

From the linked npm issue, the cached location for your local npx commands is your local .npm/_npx folder.
For windows, it's C:\Users\_username_\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx.

You can clean up the folder to force npx to download the latest version.

npm v7.5.2 is released with fix of the npx ignoring latest version.
