Error missing script: ./cyclic.js when I try to install lineman with npm 2.x

[mariusmateoc]

This is what I get after I run sudo npm install -g lineman

I checked the /usr/local/lib/node_modules/lineman/node_modules/js2coffee folder and it seems that cyclic.js file is there. This is how my npm-debug.log flie looks from the about location:

I second that! Running ArchLinux here

Could you try to see if you can replicate on npm 1.x? Or looking into whether there's an upgrade for js2coffee? I suspect that js2coffee is using a since-changed way of specifying install scripts.

[mariusmateoc]

@searls it worked when I changed to npm 1.x. Maybe in the future you could fix it to work with npm 2.x too. I would like to fix it myself but I do not know how npm works. @xeroc for me it worked to change the npm version with nvm, changing the node version with nvm install 0.10.24 than nvm use 0.10.24.

[mariusmateoc]

@searls should I close the issue or edit the title to specify that it only happens on npm 2.x ?

[searls]

Sure but for what it's worth I don't have any more knowledge of how to fix it for npm 2 than anyone else. I would encourage you to try to check out the project (js2coffee) and debug it.

Can't install js2coffee@0.2.7 with npm 2.x this is the same version you use for dependencies. So js2coffee package is currently on v0.3.3 and can be installed with npm 2.x.

Maybe you just can update the js2coffee dependency to the latest version here you can see the changes. js2coffee@0.3.3 can be installed with npm 1.x.

[searls]

Yup that sounds like it'll do it. I'll try to get this out today.

Fixed by 45ff4f70e4aa443806866f3f9776c7d90939615f

[searls]
