npm install -g openzwave-shared not works on windows 10 / 7

[francescozambon4]

Hi, the command npm install -g openzwave-shared fails due to resource busy or locked error. I've tried with Windows 10 / 7 and with Node.js 6.10.2 and Node.js 7.8.0. I've also deleted my temp folder, execute npm clean cache and run node as Administrator. Please can you help me?

This is my last log:

I'm sorry, I have no Windows development environment. @ldhertert any ideas?

[ekarak]

The only thing I can think of right now is to clone this repo, and comment out the rmDirSyncRecursive call within lib/install-ozw.js.

function init() {
  console.log('Temp Path:', tempPath);
  console.log('Install Path:', installPath);

//  wrench.rmdirSyncRecursive(installPath, true);
  wrench.mkdirSyncRecursive(installPath);
}

Then try installing by pointing npm to your local repo (instead of a package name): npm install -g .

[ldhertert]

Sorry I've moved to osx pretty much full time, can't really help anymore.

[Isaksson]

Any news on this issue? I tried with the suggestion but still error, including log. npm-debug.zip

[Isaksson]

Okey, i have now spent some time with this issue and it seems that the issue is this command ChildProcess.execSync('npm install request unzip node-gyp wrench');

This is how made a workaround just when testing. First make the tempPath permanent (also create that folder) var tempPath = path.resolve(require('os').tmpdir() + '/ozwinstall-test');

Manually install the dependencies in the tempPath folder with the command npm install request unzip node-gyp wrench --save

Comment out this fs.mkdirSync(tempPath); and ChildProcess.execSync('npm install request unzip node-gyp wrench');

Now the script will continue as it should, in my case it failed on Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable. But that is another story.

From what I could see it seems that ChildProcess.execSync('npm install request unzip node-gyp wrench'); does not install the dependencies in the correct folder.

Maybe this information could help?

Hi, to avoid any problem, you must install this:

npm install --global windows-build-tools

It will install prerequisites generally used by node packages.

There is also an error in the test2.js script. At the begining, on the device list, replace "windows" by win32 since os.platform() return win32 and not windows.

[Isaksson]

npm install --global windows-build-tools will solve the Python issue but you mean that it also solves the other issue?

[arasium]

Yes, it has solved all my issues (Python, MSBuild etc...) Before running this command, I've removed the Python version I had on my computer to avoid conflicts. And these build tools will install a quite large set of tools: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools

Perhaps you can install them one by one manually if you prefer to know what you are installing on your computer.

[Isaksson]

Thanks for the information, I will also test and hope it will solve the issues :)

[Isaksson]

I have now tested and still same problem even after installation of windows-build-tools. I will continue to make a temporary fix for this.

[Isaksson]

The fix is now available, download and install from that folder. https://github.com/Isaksson/node-openzwave-shared

Instructions:

Install windows-build-tools npm install --global windows-build-tools

Install this module from the folder where you unzipped it npm install -g

[AmigaZoid]

Does not install

[HellandB]

I tried installing the official version from OpenZWave, but it failed, see my other forum post for details.

I tried with isaksson's build which is giving me this error. Anyone know how I can proceed?

@Isaksson Your fixed worked for me - nothing else did. The instructions in the ReadMe here were of no help at all.

[HellandB]

@JonSilver Would be great if you could provide a step by step guide on how you did the install. I am still struggeling...

[JonSilver]

@HellandB to use the fix from @Isaksson I included it in my package.json as a dependency.

Where you might normally do something like this:

    "dependencies": {
        "openzwave-shared": "^1.4.0"
    },

instead do this:

    "dependencies": {
        "openzwave-shared": "git+https://github.com/Isaksson/node-openzwave-shared"
    },

and then execute a npm install which should work. It probably helps having the windows build tools installed too.

Note this is unnecessary when targeting a Debian/Raspbian environment, but doesn't seem to hurt if you're aiming for cross-platform installs like I am (dev on Windows, deploy on Raspbian).

Let me know if this works for you or if you're still having problems, and I'll try to pull out more detail.

[ekarak]

Version 1.4.3 just released. This includes the fix in #222 and adds Appveyor CI support for Windows builds.
