fails to install module when executed in cli using a postinstall script for a globally installed module #27

I’m trying to install and require major versions of lodash using a postinstall script for n_. However npm-install-version fails to install lodash. Here is how to reproduce the issue:

$ npm install n_@1.4.1 -g ; n_3

Here is the result:

$  ~/Workspace/n_ (master)$ ls -alh /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n_/node_modules/lodash\@\^3.10.1/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 boris  admin   102B Dec 22 17:14 .

drwxr-xr-x  2 boris  admin    68B Dec 22 17:14 node_modules
$ ls -alh /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n_/node_modules/lodash\@\^3.10.1/node_modules/

Thanks @borisdiakur, I'll look into this

I believe I've hit the same issue. Invoking 'nvi' from a postinstall script works on the first invocation of npm install, but all subsequent invocations of npm install fail with:

$ npm i                                                                                                                                                                 (perf✱)

To recover, I deleted my package-lock.json and /node_modules/.

Full repro:

$ git clone https://github.com/DLehenbauer/clarinet.git
$ cd clarinet
$ git checkout nvi-repro
$ npm i
$ npm i

The first npm i works as expected. The second fails as described above.
