NPM not installing dependencies?
Having trouble getting NPM to install dependencies with npm install -d in my project directory with a defined package.json file.
Here's my package.json: https://gist.github.com/3068312
And after wiping my project root's node modules folder (rm -rf node_modules), I run npm install -d in my project root and am greeted with this:
(ssh) /vagrant git:master ❯ npm install -d
npm info it worked if it ends with ok

npm not ok
If I rerun npm install -d, the error changes to whatever the next package is... if I keep running it it over and over again, it eventually doesn't complain anymore and outputs:
(ssh) /vagrant git:master ❯ npm install -d
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using [email protected]
npm info using [email protected]
npm info preinstall [email protected]
npm info build /vagrant
npm info linkStuff [email protected]
npm info install [email protected]
npm info postinstall [email protected]
npm info ok
However, none of the dependencies for any of these packages get installed. For instance, cheerio has a few dependencies, so when I try running my test suite, I'm greeted with:
(ssh) /vagrant git:master ❯ mocha --compilers coffee:coffee-script --watch spec/*
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Cannot find module 'cheerio-select'
at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:332:11)
at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
at Module.require (module.js:354:17)
What gives? I'm on Ubuntu Precise64 in a Vagrant virtual box.
maybe Something wrong related to symlink on vagrant and this issue : https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/2380
try
npm install --no-bin-link
