Cannot find module in core-js when running from NPX #551

jasoniangreen · 2019-05-20T10:11:33Z

Before the latest change, all was fine, but now if I try to run npx bolt --version on CircleCI I get this error pointing at your package.

I know you had a recent change around postinstall and I know this isn't a bolt issue because it happens with other packages that have core-js as a dependency too.

As you can see, this module exists on NPM. That looks like a bug with cache.

jakobdoc · 2019-05-20T11:50:11Z

Same here, not aware of that we have configured any caching here, probably CircleCI does internally ...

jasoniangreen · 2019-05-20T12:13:46Z

Yes @jakobdoc, I have a very simple build config with no explicit caching. It's obviously an error between npx, core-js and cirlce ci, but I can't figure out exactly what's causing it.

jakobdoc · 2019-05-20T14:41:24Z

I can confirm it only occurs using npx on the CircleCI machine. Using npm install -g it works...

kopax · 2019-05-20T19:28:05Z

We are using Gitlab-CI and we do not have any cache configured for our node_modules.

I have this error in multiple place, where we use npx:

I am now testing a fix to save the presentation I have on thursday for the 1st error using @jakobdoc solution to use npm install -g, in my script:

  if [[ ${NO_NPX_TRANSITIVE} = true ]]; then
    npm install -g @yeutech/gitlab-to-github
    npx @yeutech/gitlab-to-github github repository gitlab-to-github \
      "${name}" "${GH_TOKEN:-$GITHUB_TOKEN}" "${TRAVIS_CI_TOKEN}" \
      --organization="${org}" \
      --exclude="${SNAPSHOT_BRANCH}" \
      --dev-source="${DEV_SOURCE}" \
      --dev-target="${DEV_TARGET}" \
      --desc="${description}" \
      --homepage="${homepage}"
    npm uninstall -g @yeutech/gitlab-to-github
  else
    npx @yeutech/gitlab-to-github github repository gitlab-to-github \
      "${name}" "${GH_TOKEN:-$GITHUB_TOKEN}" "${TRAVIS_CI_TOKEN}" \
      --organization="${org}" \
      --exclude="${SNAPSHOT_BRANCH}" \
      --dev-source="${DEV_SOURCE}" \
      --dev-target="${DEV_TARGET}" \
      --desc="${description}" \
      --homepage="${homepage}"
  fi

Looking forward for a reason and a workaround/fix that does not imply to update our script.

jasoniangreen · 2019-05-21T08:24:41Z

I have opened a ticket with circleci and I suggest others do the same. In the meantime it would help if this call to post install were removed otherwise many people need to refactor out their use of npx in many different places @zloirock ? Whaddayasay, can ya help us out?!

kopax · 2019-05-21T11:02:57Z

I dont believe circleci would help, considering i am using travis and gitlabci and have the same issue..

jasoniangreen · 2019-05-21T11:04:23Z

Ah thanks for letting me know, I had only heard of CircleCI having the issue up until now. So it is somehow between npx and libs that depend on core-js.

getting this too now on shippable, highly doubt it's both shippable and circleci, prob something wrong with recent release?

@lukehutton I have checked and nothing to blame here.

Perhaps we should blame npx? Please link the issue here if someone does it.

Sorry to ask @zloirock, but because this module is in a middle of many chains of modules, maybe we could release a new version with a quick and ugly fix. By making the postinstall script mandatory for example?

Looking at postinstall.js content, we have:

/* eslint-disable no-console,max-len */
var env = process.env;
var CI = !!env.CI && env.CI !== '0' && env.CI !== 'false';
var SILENT = !!~['silent', 'error', 'warn'].indexOf(env.npm_config_loglevel);

if (!CI && !SILENT) {
  console.log('\u001B[96mThank you for using core-js (\u001B[94m https://github.com/zloirock/core-js \u001B[96m)!\u001B[0m\n');
  console.log('\u001B[96mPlease consider supporting of core-js on Open Collective or Patreon: \u001B[0m');
  console.log('\u001B[96m>\u001B[94m https://opencollective.com/core-js \u001B[0m');
  console.log('\u001B[96m>\u001B[94m https://www.patreon.com/zloirock \u001B[0m\n');
  console.log('\u001B[96mAlso, the author of core-js (\u001B[94m https://github.com/zloirock \u001B[96m) is looking for a good job -)\u001B[0m\n');
}

Nothing is required for the good sack of the software, perhaps someone can give a job to @zloirock :)?

This is a fix that would work, by editing package.json with:

  "scripts": {
-    "postinstall": "node scripts/postinstall"
+    "postinstall": "node scripts/postinstall || true"
  }

Looking at usage here, we would all want a 2.6.x fix.

Also, could we please edit the title and remove the Circle-CI reference?

lukehutton · 2019-05-21T19:18:09Z

Ok I see thanks, just thought perhaps errors were happening coinciding with a release

zloirock · 2019-05-21T19:35:30Z

In the meantime it would help if this call to post install were removed

I thought about it but after some comments from #548 existence of postinstall is a principal position.

This is a fix that would work, by editing package.json with...

I'm not sure that it will work.

zloirock · 2019-05-21T19:37:52Z

I still can't reproduce it with NPX and on my CI servers...

nicolo-ribaudo · 2019-05-21T19:40:52Z

Maybe this would work?

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "node -e \"try { require('./scripts/postinstall') } catch (_) {}\""
}

zloirock · 2019-05-21T19:44:58Z

@nicolo-ribaudo something like that makes sense 👍

kopax · 2019-05-22T02:00:11Z

Thanks for the fix, is it released yet? Will you release a 2.6.x with it?

zloirock · 2019-05-22T09:33:24Z

It's already released in core-js@3.1.2 and core-js@2.6.8.
