Can't install node-sass during deployment

[cibulka]

Hello everyone!

I am using gulp-sass 2.0.4 (that uses node-sass 3.3.2). Installing it locally to my development works without any problem. The problem is my remote production environment, installation to server through ssh (with Capistrano deployment) fails.

Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/www/cibulka.me/wwwroot/www/releases/20150910223016/node_modules/cibulka-gulp-tasks/node_modules/gulp-sass/node_modules/node-sass/node'

My hosting provider uses node 0.12.6. All other NPM modules seem to be installing fine.

Can you tell me what am I doing wrong? Thank you!

Hi @cibulka, please follow our troubleshooting doc and post all the output into a gist.

Sorry I have not do that from the start!

web713@webhosting-a ~ $ npm -v              
2.11.2
web713@webhosting-a ~ $ node -v

  node: '0.12.6',

  uv: '1.4.2',

  modules: '14',
  openssl: '1.0.2d' }
web713@webhosting-a ~ $ node -p process.platform
linux
web713@webhosting-a ~ $ node -p process.arch
x64

Node-sass versions (copied from my local environment, as the installation did not finish remotely):

{
  "name": "node-sass",
  "version": "3.3.2",
  "libsass": "3.2.5",
}

For some reason, I can't find any npm_debug.log on my server. Maybe it is because the file is gitgnored from my repository?

Also, I do not run the npm installation as sudo. I can't really do that, as I am on shared hosting.

Is there anything else I can post?

[cibulka]

Also, I can confirm that I get same error if I hit npm install gulp-sass --save through plain SSH, so Capistrano and my deployment process is likely not the issue ...

[xzyfer]

Do have the /www/cibulka.me/wwwroot/www/releases/20150909203122/node_modules/cibulka-gulp-tasks/npm-debug.log?

Otherwise can you please paste output of npm install gulp-sass --verbose into a https://gist.github.com/.

Please do not post it here because it will be too much to read.

[cibulka]

Here you go!

Hmm nothing jumps out at me and the log is surprisingly unhelpful

I've contacted my surprisingly friendly hosting provider about this - maybe he will be able to help us somehow. Thanks for quick replies so far!

[rushcat]

I have the same problem after upgraded the npm from v1.4.12 (https://nodejs.org/download/release/npm/npm-1.4.12.zip) to v2.11.3 (https://nodejs.org/download/release/v0.12.7/node-v0.12.7-linux-x64.tar.gz node v0.12.7 built-in). Thanks.

@cibulka is node on your $PATH ? It seems to me it isn't. npm install executes a normal shell and tells it to run node scripts/install.js. If it can't find node (or this is some kind of funky restricted shell), things won't work.

[saper]

@rushcat Please follow our TROUBLESHOOTING.md guide, check other already open issues and open a new one, if still having issues.

[cibulka]

@saper It seems to be, although I admit, that due to the fact that I use shared hosting, my paths are little funky.

web713@webhosting-a ~ $ which node
/usr/bin/node
web713@webhosting-a ~ $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.8.4

As I wrote above, every other npm dependency (A LOT of gulp plugins) installs without a problem. So if I had problems with $PATH, wouldn't they be affected as well?

Also, node scripts/install.js seems to search at the right place, I think?

web713@webhosting-a ~ $ node scripts/install.js
module.js:338
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module '/home/web713/scripts/install.js'

[saper]

Not really. It can be the only module that executes its own scripts outside of node environment.

What kind of shell are you running?
