npm error EISGIT on npm install #221

Closed aabuhijleh closed 5 years ago

aabuhijleh commented 5 years ago

I use this module in my project and up until very recently it was working fine.

Now it causes this error on npm install in my project...

npm ERR! path /builds/aabuhijleh/electron_desktop/rb-services/node_modules/mdbootstrap
npm ERR! code EISGIT
npm ERR! git /builds/aabuhijleh/electron_desktop/rb-services/node_modules/mdbootstrap: Appears to be a git repo or submodule.
npm ERR! git     /builds/aabuhijleh/electron_desktop/rb-services/node_modules/mdbootstrap
npm ERR! git Refusing to remove it. Update manually,
npm ERR! git or move it out of the way first.

the issue is solved by

rm -rf node_modules/mdbootstrap/.git/

the git repository should be removed from the package.

mdbootstrap v4.7.4 used in electron OS: both Windows 7 and Ubuntu

how can we recreate this issue?

aabuhijleh commented 5 years ago

For me, this is very simple to reproduce...

I created a clean empty project with npm init then

npm i mdbootstrap@latest

then firing npm install produces that EISGIT error because the .git/ folder in included in the package.

if you installed mdbootstrap@4.7.3 you won't get this error because the .git/ folder is not included in that package

It's an awful issue, but with the next update we'll fix it up

isabasan commented 5 years ago

its 4.7.6 now and issue is still open.

This seems to be resolved in @4.8.0.

You need to rm -rf .git from that node modules directory, that solved my issue
