Rim raf / jenkins- syntaxError : Unexepected token . in ignore-enonent.js - node.js

Hi on Monday all of our jenkins builds started failing on npm install on the rim raf ignore.enonent.js file
I can see that rim raf did publish a new version 7days ago but the ignore-enonent.js file has always been like this.
Anyone else seeing this issue?
`Server\DPAWebUI\Verint.DPA.FrontEnd\node_modules\rimraf\dist\cjs\src\ignore-enoent.js:15
if (er?.code !== 'ENOENT') {
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token .'`
Note this issue only started after the weekend. I tried running npm install without jenkins and no issues. The issue only seems to occur when run from jenkins

I got this too - only in jenkins as well :D
Found in the end that it was related to the recent rimraf release 4.1.2 https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf?activeTab=versions.
I have grunt (v3) defined in my package json so local build works fine. But in Jenkins i have a pipeline script which was explicitly installing the latest version of grunt, which then brought in this incompatible dependency and broke stuff...
So in your Jenkins pipeline make sure you are not installing grunt (or whatever is using rimraf - check using npm ls rimraf) and make sure the version of rimraf/parent of rimraf is the same on Jenkins. Can add npm ls rimraf in your Jenkins pipeline script as a debug line to figure out if its using a different version.

wedriverio jenkins - npm command not found error

I am trying to run webdriverio test from jenkins and following this . I installed nodeJS plugin for jenkins and under global tool config, for NodeJS , added a name and installation directory as /usr/local/bin (node executable is in this folder)
In Jenkins, in project config , under build environment, I have checked
Provide Node & npm bin/ folder to PATH and chosen the node installation name from previous step
But when I am trying to run npm install
npm test ,by adding these commands under execute shell under Build and building it, I receive this error
Building in workspace /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/workspace/wdio-project
[wdio-project] $ /bin/sh -xe /Users/Shared/Jenkins/tmp/hudson1478028169114509075.sh
+ npm install
/Users/Shared/Jenkins/tmp/hudson1478028169114509075.sh: line 2: npm: command not found
Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE
In case someone is looking for same issue, I resolved the above error by adding export PATH=/usr/local/bin to the execute shell under build. This post helped me
There is currently a bug opened about this (JENKINS-26583 and JENKINS-27170)
I could workaround this bug by adding explicitly node on the PATH by adding this line :
export PATH=$PATH:/home/jenkins/.jenkins/tools/jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation/node_js/bin/
I had just fixed the same issue as you did.
I wonder if my fix would also help you. When I was using the alpine-based docker image, the Jenkins can never find the npm, but when I use the debian-based docker image, problem solved immediately.
Try this export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
After installation of NodeJS restart pc
In my case this worked -
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

Installing node modules in Openshift Python gear

I have a Python application in Openshift, with Python 3.3 and PostgreSQL cartridges. The Python cartridge is running Django 1.8, based off the template on the Website.
Recently, I started using Gulp to automate my build, and while it's worked great on my local machine, I can't figure out what to do to use it in Openshift. I have django-gulp installed so it just runs whenever I use runserver, but the Openshift server obviously doesn't have gulp or any plugins installed, so that won't do anything. I don't know how to install them on the server, though.
Including a package.json does nothing. I've tested it and it works fine if I go with a node cartridge, but I've got a Python one.
Since npm is on the server, I tried SSHing and running npm install manually, but it threw up a permission denied error.
So, after trying to work this out for a while, I've finally figured out a solution. This is a bit convoluted, but it does work:
Install your own Node and npm. The version included in Openshift is hopelessly outdated and doesn't really work. SSH into your server and install a local version in your dependencies folder. cd $OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR/app_root/dependencies; wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.3.0/node-v6.3.0-linux-x64.tar.xz; tar xf node-v6.3.0-linux-x64.tar.xz; rm node-v6.3.0-linux-x64.tar.xz Install the dev version. DO NOT install the stable version as that'll burn through your inodes like nothing else.
Change your PATH to include the the new node version export PATH="$OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR/app_root/dependencies/node_modules/.bin/:$OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR/app_root/dependencies/node/bin/:$PATH" Environment variables get reset whenever you disconnect from the server. You can change them permanently with rhc env set, but as this is only used before deployment, I recommend sticking this in the /.openshift/action_hooks/pre_build.
You also need to change the NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG variable. export NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG=$OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR/app-root/build-dependencies/.npmrc. Once again, I recommend doing this in the pre_build hook.
At this point, you can change the cache without getting a permission denied error. npm config set cache "$OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR/app_root/dependencies/.npm
You can now finally use npm install! Install the packages you need. Use the --prefix flag to install to the node_modules folder.
However, to use gulp, you need to have a gulp module installed in the place you're calling from, so npm install gulp WITHOUT the prefix flag.
You can now call gulp! However, your gulpfile will not not find the modules unless you edit your gulpfile to link to the dependencies folder you have set up. So instead of require('gulp-cssnano'), you'd have require([OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR]/app_root/dependencies/node_modules/gulp-cssnano). I keep a separate gulpfile for Openshift to maintain my sanity.
Call gulp with your new gulpfile in pre_build.

Continuous integration and deployment of Node.js application on Bamboo

The application I want to implement continuous deployment on Bamboo has node modules and bower component dependencies. On the bamboo server nodejs, npm have been installed.
There are only three tasks on default job:
Source Code Checkout
Build dependencies:
npm install
bower install
Deploy to the staging server
The problem is on the second task, bamboo fails with the message "No failed tests found, a possible compilation error occurred." I don't even run any tests.
The log file is not explanatory at all:
Starting task 'Build dependencies' of type 'com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.scripttask:task.builder.script'
Failing task since return code of [/bin/sh /home/ubuntu/bamboo-installation/temp/WEB-WEB-JOB1-8-ScriptBuildTask-4430338079602360707.sh] was 1 while expected 0
Ok, I solved the problem. The issue was the wrong node (which obviously messed things up) was installed on the bamboo server. Uninstalled the wrong one and everything worked as expected.
Good to see you solved it.
There is a setup I use and which could prevent further problems with CI:
export npm_config_prefix=.npm/
export PATH=.npm/bin:$PATH
export CI=true
npm install -g bower
bower install
npm install
This installs bower (and others like grunt-cli if you want) in your project folder so you can e.g. have a specific version, sets CI=true as advised in bower docs, and then installs all dependencies.
Bamboo AMI originally have npm version 1.4.28 installed and you are probably using a more recent version on you development environment. I had the same issue and resolved it by creating a script task to update npm version on the very beginning of my build process. Here is the script:
# update npm
curl -O -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
sudo PATH=$PATH:/opt/node-0.10/bin ./install.sh

Jenkins script quitting prematurely when using npm install on Windows

In my Jenkins job I want to build a JavaScript app using Grunt. The Jenkins build scripts creates a build directory (if it doesn't already exist), changes to that directory and runs:
npm install grunt
npm install grunt-zip
grunt --gruntfile=[something]
(Of course grunt-cli is installed globally.) When I build the job, the first statement causes Grunt and dependencies to be pulled down as expected. However, the job then terminates successfully:
Archiving artifacts
No emails were triggered.
Finished: SUCCESS
The second npm install is not run. Any idea why the script is terminating after running npm install instead of continuing to the subsequent statements?
So it turns out that npm is a batch file, not an executable, so it needs to be invoked using call from the Jenkins script:
call npm install grunt
i would recommend not using the local grunt / nodejs install, but instead getting jenkins to do this for you!
it's much easier and means there's less coupling to system specific installs and variables.
steps:
a) use nodejs jenkins plugin + get it to install nodejs on machine/grunt-cli -> Jenkins integration with Grunt
b) populate your package.json with any nodejs dependances required, eg grunt/grunt-zip etc
c) when running grunt just do a "npm update" before "grunt" command
that way your not doing explicit npm install, it's all configured from your package.json, and your build scripts will be less brittle, and your developers can use the same steps as the build server, eg "npm update;grunt" locally same as build server
For future googlers:
use command chaining for this.
This works:
npm install && npm install install grunt-zip
This wont work:
npm install
npm install grunt-zip

NodeJS/Testacular on Jenkins CI

I'm using Testacular which is a Node.js test runner for Angular/Jasmine. I can run it fine from the command line, but every time I try to run it from Jenkins build steps, it bombs out with all sorts of errors regarding environment variables. I tried the Nodejs plugin for Jenkins, but that's just to run node code snippets. Anyone know of a way to have node apps (eg. Testacular) running test under Jenkins?
You will need to:
have "testacular" as a dependency in your package.json file.
install your dependencies with npm install (do this as a build step)
call it as ./node_modules/.bin/testacular start --single-run
Assuming you have configured testacular to use PhantomJs browsers = ['PhantomJS'];, you just need to have the phantomjs binary in your path or tell testacular where it is located with an environment variable set in your shell:
export PHANTOMJS_BIN=$HOME/local/bin/phantomjs
good news!
" I tried the Nodejs plugin for Jenkins, but that's just to run node code snippets. "
nope!
install the nodejs plugin see instructions here -> NodeJS jenkins plugin broken?
then tick "Provide Node/npm bin folder to PATH" and when running a "execute shell" build task, you can use nodejs, here's a example using grui
npm update
grunt
grunt --force reporting
