6.3.1 src tarball: missing files and directories #7872

jelmd · 2016-07-25T18:16:15Z

https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.3.1/node-v6.3.1.tar.[gx]z source tar balls seems to be screwed up: e.g.
tools/{osx-pkg.pmdoc,pkgsrc,eslint,eslint-rules}/ are missing, whereby at least the latter 2 in turn break doc building:

Input file = doc/api/os.md
module.js:442
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '/export/scratch/build/node-v6.3.1/tools/eslint/node_modules/js-yaml'

I think this was done intentionally awhile back in an effort to reduce the distributed tarball size. You will need to checkout the git repo to build docs and the like.

jelmd · 2016-07-25T19:19:34Z

:( - wondering who cares about 1-2 MB these days ...

Anyway, shouldn't it be documented somewhere?

mscdex · 2016-07-25T19:53:36Z

I guess something like #7218 is missing for make doc. /cc @addaleax

lungbubble · 2016-08-07T06:45:48Z

So...how does one do this "git repo" thing to "build docs and the like" to resolve this issue?

addaleax · 2016-08-07T13:24:42Z

Running git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git should give you a node directory containing everything in this repository.

It’s probably easier and works just as well to just run npm install in the tools/doc/ directory of the tarball, though.

lungbubble · 2016-08-07T15:35:15Z

had to go to folder with git.py in it and typed "c:\python27\python.exe git.py clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git" and something happened without any output in the console. npm install didn't begin to work at that point. how do I "run npm install in the tools/doc/ directory of the tartball"? I can't any such folder. Is there a way to just download this thing without those missing files by chance?

MylesBorins · 2016-08-07T17:36:43Z

@lungbubble you should not have to use python to clone the repo

do you have git installed?

you can get git here.

Once you have git installed you can use the command that was mentioned above git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git to clone the repo

If you want to learn more about git you can read this intro

Ty, I installed the git clone, typed that in program files\nodejs and it did a bunch of stuff. Then I typed npm install npm -g (also just npm install). This was the result I got:

npm ERR! enoent and this is related to npm not being able to find a file

I have no idea why its checking for files in my app data/local stuff as npm is in my program files\nodejs.

@lungbubble let's step back for a moment.

what is your ultimate goal? what are you trying to do? get a local copy of
the docs?

We did a distinction between a developer and user. If you want to e.g. generate documentation instead of using the one that is generate for you, or for instance invoke lint you will need a git checkout. Compiling and verifying the generated binary (make test) works just fine as a user.

lungbubble · 2016-08-08T01:35:46Z

I'm trying to run a python script which states I need to run "grunt build" before running the script. From what I've read (i've gone through so much stuff now, I might be missing a piece or two) I need to install nodejs to do the grunt build. So I'm just trying to install nodejs so that I can use "grunt build" so I can run the script I have.

@lungbubble it would appear you are heading down the wrong path. If you would like to install node please follow the instructions found at --> http://nodejs.org/download/

Run `npm install` before building the documentation from release tarballs. The doctool currently depends on `js-yaml`, which is imported from the `tools/eslint` subtree; however, release tarballs don’t contain that directory. Running `npm install` is clearly not a beautiful solution, but it works. Fixes: nodejs#7872
