[email protected] Failed to exec postinstall script

[kadishmal]

It fails with both aglio 2.2.0 and 2.2.1. This happened after the aglio-theme-olio has been upgraded to 1.6.3.

@kadishmal if you manually install the 1.6.2 version does that work? Does 1.6.3 consistently fail for you? Any other info you can give me? It is installing okay for me. Anybody else having this issue?

I am also encountering this but only on my docker container. It works fine on osx.

[justinmchase]

I think that the postinstall should actually be:

"postinstall": "bash ./scripts/setup-cache.js"

Relative path to scripts and bash instead of node, since your script file has a shebang it should work fine.

#!/usr/bin/env node

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 16.10.

This happens to me when Gitlab wants to run our CI.

Since it's inside Gitlab I don't have access to the machine so I can hardly debug it.

However, it would be very helpful if you log the error in here: https://github.com/danielgtaylor/aglio/blob/olio-theme/scripts/setup-cache.js#L9

In the released version, the ../lib/main is supposed to be always there. I think there is another exception happening there that we cannot see because the error is ignored.

Not sure how I can debug this any other way as I don't have shell access to the machine that has this problem (Gitlab.com runners)
