3.12 Global Node Packages No longer installing

[aweingarten]

After upgrading to the latest version of Drupal VM. The node global packages no longer seem to install properly. The provision doesn't throw errors but grunt is not part of the global path.

# Node.js configuration (if enabled above).
# Valid examples: "0.10", "0.12", "4.x", "5.x".
nodejs_version: "0.12"
nodejs_npm_global_packages:
  - name: grunt
  - name: grunt-cli
  - name: bower
nodejs_install_npm_user: "root"
npm_config_prefix: "~/.npm-global"

The user should be set to vagrant and not root now (i think using root was a temporary fix that I suggested in another issue).

The value set in default.config.yml is evaluted to vagrant:

nodejs_install_npm_user: "{{ drupalvm_user }}"

@oxyc I tried it both ways. No luck.

I just tested it and can confirm it doesn't work. It seems the npm_config_prefix directory is created under the root users home catalog.

It should work if you set:

npm_config_prefix: "/home/{{ drupalvm_user }}/.npm-global"

I'll try it and post back as well.

I can confirm it fixed the issue.

Thanks @oxyc - this is fixed in master.
