Npm install error

[jacobnoah]

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to install stencil-cli no problem.

Actual behavior

Using correct versions of npm and node I keep getting this error in npm: npm ERR! code ENOENT npm ERR! syscall rename npm ERR! path ../node/v10.24.1/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-styles/node_modules/lodash npm ERR! dest ../.nvm/versions/node/v10.24.1/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-styles/node_modules/.lodash.DELETE npm ERR! errno -2 npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename '../.nvm/versions/node/v10.24.1/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-styles/node_modules/lodash' -> '../.nvm/versions/node/v10.24.1/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-styles/node_modules/.lodash.DELETE' npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file. npm ERR! enoent

I have done everything from uninstalling npm and node as well as removing package-lock.json and node_modules folder. I have tried installing it locally and globally and get the same error. I have tried all solutions online including quitting all instances of nodes running. I have even restarted my computer and have 0 applications running and I still get the same error. I am unsure of why this keeps happening on my system. I should specify I have a Mac.

Steps to reproduce behavior

doing npm i -g @bigcommerce/stencil-cli or npm i @bigcommerce/stencil-cli

Hi @jacobnoah,

Could you please provide node version by typing node -v?

[corygottschalk]

@jacobnoah I encountered a similar issue when using npm version 7. In my case, npm was unable to resolve the 'mkdir' module. If I downgrade to npm version 6, it installs no problem.

Perhaps you could try downgrading to version 6 and see if that resolves your issue.

@jairo-bc any idea what may be causing this issue? My gut feeling is it has to do with on or more outdated dependencies but I'm not entirely sure that's what it is.

Here's the output from running npm install -g @bigcommerce/stencil-cli with npm v7.23.0 on node v12.22.6:

Fixed by downgrading npm back to v6 - errors on v7 as above post showed.

[Nihir10dec]

Check NPM version using npm -v If it's not version 6 downgrade or upgrade it by doing npm i -g npm@6 They should put this in their prerequisites as there's no way to find about this.

[steve-ross]

@jairo-bc not a fix, but at least there might be some advanced warning that you need npm@6 would be to add an engines declaration to package.json

"engines" : { 
    "node": "^10.17 || ^12",
    "npm": ">=v6.14.6 <7.0.0"
  }
``

@steve-ross Thanks for suggestion! https://github.com/bigcommerce/stencil-cli/pull/846
