coffeescript with yocto fido about bitbake-npm HOT 2 CLOSED

This is a file permission issue. The main error is:

npm WARN locking /home/ljoli/.npm/_locks/coffee-script-9ae105e36c3314f5.lock failed 
[Error: EACCES, open '/home/ljoli/.npm/_locks/coffee-script-9ae105e36c3314f5.lock']

Which means that npm fails to get read/write access to files in /home/ljoli/.npm/_locks directory.

I'd do:

sudo chmod -R $(whoami) ${HOME}/.npm

to ensure that the user running bitbake has ownership to files under ~/.npm

followed by:

npm cache clean

to clear npm cache.

A bit more manual (and more destructive) method is to erase the npm cache directory completely:

sudo rm -rf ${HOME}/.npm

I also recommend you to look into meta-nodejs layer for recent Node.js and io.js releases with latest npm. Just make your recipe dependent on node-native package to make sure that npm used is not the one installed on the build host. You can also RDEPEND to node (and optionally node-npm) packages to get the latest node.js or io.js runtime on target system.

Currently Node.js 0.12.7 and io.js 2.5.0 are available.

I'm closing the issue due to lack of conversation
