npm install hanging on loadDep:xmldoc

[GeneralDoddi]

I am trying to install the package on Ubuntu 16.04

The install hangs on loadDep:xmldoc after 33% of the install

Silly log:

the log doesn't show me explicitly what it is stopping on, i'm trying to install manually some packages to see if they are causing it, but to no help.

I have already installed it on a OS X and it works fine, but it seems like the package is stalling on Linux for some reason

Is there any way around this ?

I tried to install on CentOS7 with the same problem

[amtrack]

That's strange! Which node/npm version are you running?

[GeneralDoddi]

The latest version from the ubuntu package manager (Sorry for not having details I'm out of town) :)

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 cloud edition, my colleague told me He could install on LTE edition on his VM. This is a very odd problem indeed

[amtrack]

OK, I will try to bump some package versions (it is time to do this anyway) next week and hope that this will solve this problem. Thanks for reporting!

[GeneralDoddi]

I have been trying to fool around on installing, now i spawned a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS myself and didn't get the package installed, i then decided to install all dependencies first and then try the package,

All dependencies installed fine but the force-dev-tool package still hangs at same place, i hope you can recreate this

[amtrack]

@GeneralDoddi Can you try installing using the following command:

$ npm install --global amtrack/force-dev-tool#bump-xmldoc

it stalls there.

[GeneralDoddi]

new development, i noticed it stopped at git://github.com this time and it's common for firewalls to screw with it after switching out the git repo in npm this rolled finally through

git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/

thanks alot for your help :)

[amtrack]

aha, ok. so this is a firewall issue?

[GeneralDoddi]

It looks like it, i must have messed up when i tried the global config change back when i wrote the issue. I've had this problem before at my workplace but the errors were more clear (IE just a plain 500 error for the git page to be unreachable), this one doesn't throw an error at all and just hangs instead

I spawned a fresh instance and fixed the global config and it installed, i'm sorry for taking time from you when this is looking increasingly like a user related problem :(

[amtrack]

no worries, i'm glad it works now ;-)
