execute docker npm install not working for node example (windows)

[xo-chris]

Hi there

I am trying to follow this tutorial, in node.js. I have the pre-requisites installed and have cloned this git project into a directory that I bash into. I execute:

$ docker run --rm -v "//$PWD":/worker -w //worker iron/node:dev npm install

and get back the below stack trace

(Note: the double forward slashes are deliberate, I am using a windows machine and so am using this as per email correspondence with Alex Litvak. They do work, in the sense that if I use: echo "//$PWD" I get back the current directory that I am in)

@kiwichris1 Seems like you're running the "docker run ..." command from wrong directory, share the contents please

Hi Alex

I am in the right directory I think?

Here is a screenshot that shows my directory structure and what I am doing and the response

Thanks

Chris

Solved: the worker should be placed in the home directory (C:\Users\USER_NAME....) to be shared with docker host
