Error on installation

[casprwang]

I executed sudo npm install -g git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git#beta-v-1.13.3 on my home dir and got the following errors. (OSX 10.12.4)

Can you try uninstalling reason-cli and reinstalling it again?

[casprwang]

@jordwalke Yes I executed the following commands in order:

1. sudo npm uninstall -g git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git#beta-v-1.13.3

2. sudo npm install -g git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git#beta-v-1.13.3

3. sudo yarn add global git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git#beta-v-1.13.3

which got no error but got following lines when executing refmt

ERROR The following dependencies of package "reason-cli-actual" could not be resolved correctly:

  "@opam-alpha/reason", "ocaml", "ocamlBetterErrors" (and 2 more) packages


Did you forget to run "esy install" command?

4. sudo yarn remove global git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git#beta-v-1.13.3
   it returns

[jordwalke]

the instructions for reason-cli say to uninstall like npm uninstall -g reason-cli. Can you try that way just to rule out the possibility that it's not really uninstalling it?

[casprwang]

Sorry,
npm uninstall -g reason-cli gave me nothing, and I got the same error after npm install -g git://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli.git#beta-v-1.13.3

[jordwalke]

Just to rule it out. Can you mv ~/.esy to somewhere else and try again?

[casprwang]

ok, I moved ~/.esy to another folder, then tried reinstall it and got this error

I see permission denied, but I'm sure I put sudo before everything.

[jordwalke]

@andreypop and @bsansouci might have found the cause of this today. Did you recently upgrade to a new Mac OS?

[jordwalke]

(just to unblock you, you can use the OPAM versions of reason until we figure this out).

[casprwang]

Yes, about a week ago. now on version 10.12.4
Also, to make it clear, by using OPAM you mean opam install reason right? Does it cover the same thing in NPM version?

[Korbin73]

Installing from opam worked for me after it failed trying from npm with the same error as the OP.

[jordwalke]

@wangsongiam Yes, opam installing reason covers most of the same things, but you also want to opam install merlin as well.

[gilbert]

I tried installing today, and am getting the same error. I think this is the cause:

error An unexpected error occurred: "http://gallium.inria.fr/~fpottier/menhir/menhir-20161115.tar.gz: Request failed \"404 Not Found\"".

[jordwalke]

Thanks for the heads up @gilbert. Looks like menhir's page is down. I'm finding out what's going on, thanks.

[kristojorg]

Is there a workaround for now that you know of? I installed via opam, and then ran which ocamlmerlin refmt ocamlmerlin-reason and it says none are found. Should I opan install each of these individually as well?

Thanks!

[gilbert]

@kristojorg Installing this worked for me: https://github.com/yunxing/reason-bin

[jordwalke]

reason-bin works if you just need to install the refmt binary for parsing/printing. Waiting on menhir to put their servers back up to make reason-cli work again. (Reason-cli is a best effort supported tool, but opam is better supported).

@kristojorg If you want to use opam, it should work - you probably don't have your shell setup correctly with the opam command you need to run etc. Is that true?

[jordwalke]

This should be fixed now! Thanks for your patience. We'll try to get something that makes the open source reason-cli workflow more similar to the internal one.

I bumped on the same installation problem on Archlinux and yarn 1.11. Not sure why but the problem solved itself by running the same command twice:
yarn global add https://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli/archive/beta-v-1.13.7-bin-linux.tar.gz
