Add support for node version manager #1049

Open pricejn2 opened 8 years ago

pricejn2 commented 8 years ago

This is a feature request to enhance the npm and node component of the CSS feature added with BOA 3.1.2. Some incompatibilities between npm packages and certain versions of node, deem it necessary to provide node version switching capabilities.

NVM https://github.com/creationix/nvm/blob/master/README.md probably makes the most sense to accomplish this, as is parallels the current RVM approach used for Ruby.

What are the incompatibilities are you referring to?

Are they serious enough to not introduce official NPM support, yet?

pricejn2 commented 8 years ago

I ran into one when testing out zurb_foundation's npm package dependencies where I could only getting it working properly with an older version of node 0.10. This doesn't seem like anything that should prevent the introduction of NPM support with BOA, however.

Same issue here.

After following the instructions from here...

https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/master/docs/RVM.txt

and installing Gulp and Bower in my foundation subtheme-folder...

  1. Install Gulp: 'npm install -g gulp'
  2. Install Bower: 'npm install -g bower'

... i try "npm start" and become this output:

npm ERR! Linux 3.18.11-vs2.3.7.4-beng npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "start" npm ERR! node v4.5.0 npm ERR! npm v2.15.9 npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR!

After some googeling it seems to be a problem with an to old version of node or npm?

If anyone is willing to work on this, patches are welcome!

pricejn2 commented 7 years ago

This has been on my radar for a while. I'll try and give it attention and submit an initial patch.

pricejn2 commented 7 years ago

@stero your problem seems more like #1130

unknownterritory commented 5 years ago

This is essential, in order to use modern front end tooling. Hate to be nagging but how soon can we count on this?

pricejn2 commented 5 years ago

@unknownterritory Any interest in funding it? I could make time to put a pull request together this weekend.

unknownterritory commented 5 years ago

Thank you @pricejn2, for the offer, and my apologies for having not answered sooner. We will keep it in mind but for now, taking in consideration that there's workarounds, we won't be sponsoring it.
