Gracefully handle v8flags failure? #51

Closed brycefisher closed 9 years ago

brycefisher commented 9 years ago

Related to https://github.com/shipitjs/shipit/issues/70 and https://github.com/tkellen/js-v8flags/issues/13 , if HOME is not accessible, this can cause upstream modules that require liftoff to fail (even if they don't explicitly need any specific v8flags).

Is it possible to issue a warning and keep going if v8flags fails for some reason? The specific case I ran into today is where the uid executing the node process doesn't have access to the $HOME directory.

Would you mind opening this issue on v8flags? This definitely needs to be addressed there. I have a few ideas for how we can resolve this!

Yeah! Thanks for positivity.
