file already exists, mkdir '.../elm-format/unpacked_bin

avh4 commented 5 years ago

peacememories [6:11 AM] hmm, for some reason i'm getting EEXIST errors when trying to install elm-format

"file already exists, mkdir '.../elm-format/unpacked_bin'" not sure why the unpacked_bin dir would exist already, though

av [9:59 AM] Maybe try removing it (with rm -Rf "$(npm root)"/elm-format or rm -Rf "$(npm root -g)"/elm-format) and then try installing again? (edited)

peacememories [2:05 AM] i already removed the whole node_modules folder, but it comes back every install the unpacked_bin, that is, it's pretty obvious that the node_modules folder would come back^^ i think it has something to do with npm caches when i do npm install elm-format it works, but when i do npm install it breaks

peacememories [2:15 AM] i've removed elm-format from my dependencies for now, which makes the install work again

I have the same error with yarn. I'm using it with lerna, the bootstrap fails because it re-runs some of the yarn install stuff.

I'm able to reproduce this problem consistently, but only when using yarn (if I use npm instead of yarn in the commands below it works fine).

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
yarn add elm-format
yarn add axios
yarn remove axios

This fails with:

error /private/tmp/node_modules/elm-format: Command failed.
