I'm having a similar issue on win 10. node version 6.9.4. Several warnings before I hit this SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY:

It does appear to install, but when I attempt to build an app, I get the following errors:

rally-app-builder build Compiling the App. fs.js:101 throw err; // Forgot a callback but don't know where? Use NODE_DEBUG=fs ^

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'C:\P4SCC\QAAutomation\Projects\Main\Rally\RallyTestCoverageByIteration\config.json' at Error (native)

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I'm investigating. I think most of those super outdated dependencies are only used for the clone command anyway, which I've been considering getting rid of for some time. Thanks for reporting these issues!

[leowins]

I figured out a way to fix my own installation issue for rally-app-builder. I ran into 3 issues.

1. 42069 warn optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@^1.0.0 (node_modules\chokidar\node_modules\fsevents): 42070 warn notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.0.17: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

to resolve it, I used: npm install --no-optional rally-app-builder

[leowins]

2. npm ERR! Refusing to install package with name "rally-app-builder" under a package npm ERR! also called "rally-app-builder". Did you name your project the same npm ERR! as the dependency you're installing?

to resolve it, I changed the name in package.json file from "rally-app-builder" to " "rally-app-builder-test"

[leowins]

3. Phantom installation failed { Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'C:\Users\leo\AppData\Local\Temp\phantomjs\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows.zip-extract-1485397694143\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows\phantomjs.exe' errno: -4048, code: 'EPERM', syscall: 'unlink', path: 'C:\Users\leo\AppData\Local\Temp\phantomjs\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows.zip-extract-1485397694143\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows\phantomjs.exe' } Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'C:\Users\leo\AppData\Local\Temp\phantomjs\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows.zip-extract-1485397694143\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows\phantomjs.exe' rally-app-builder@1.4.1 c:\github `-- (empty)

to resolve it, I disabled anti-virus software protection, then run npm cache clean

now rally-app-builder seemed to installed successfully.

NOT SURE WHETHER rally-app-builder actually will work after installation... will test it out...

[leowins]

Not very sure why the above 3 steps fix the issues. could anyone @krmorse explain?

[leowins]

Just tested it out -> does NOT seem to work... will look into it.

c:\github\rally-app-builder>rally-app-builder init BasicRallyGrid module.js:472 throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\leo\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\rally-app-builder\bin\rally-app-builder' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:470:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:418:25) at Module.runMain (module.js:605:10) at run (bootstrap_node.js:420:7) at startup (bootstrap_node.js:139:9) at bootstrap_node.js:535:3

[leowins]

Reason is there is no rally-app-builder folder under path: C:\Users\leo\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\

I had to cd into rally-app-builder folder first, otherwise "rally-app-builder" command is not found.

So, the whole thing still does NOT work. Could @krmorse or anyone help?

[krmorse]

@leowins, the most common usage is to install rally-app-builder globally (using the -g flag when running npm install). that way you can execute it from anywhere as long as node is correctly on your path. If executing it from a local npm install you probably need to do ./bin/rally-app-builder init BasicRallyGrid

[krmorse]

@leowins, @dsaner, I just published version 1.5.1 which updated a bunch of dependencies and I think that should resolve the issues on Windows 10 and newer node versions. Would you try it out and see if it works for you now?

[dsaner]

Not seeing a version 1.5.1 in npm. Latest it's showing is 1.4.1...

[krmorse]

shoot, try again @dsaner ?

[dsaner]

got it that time. Install looked cleaner too. Was able to successfully build my app. Thanks!
