Unable to install gazebo on Openshift

Question

I can not install the gazebo on Openshift. I keep getting errors like

remote: npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, lstat '/var/lib/openshift/537xxxxcd/app-root/runtime/repo/node_modules/bower/node_modules/mout/array/intersection.js'[K remote: npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this log at:[K remote: npm ERR! <http://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues>[K remote: npm ERR! or email it to:[K remote: npm ERR! < [e-mail] >[K 

You can view the full deployment logs https://s3.amazonaws.com/archive.travis-ci.org/jobs/26291843/log.txt [From travis here].

I tried several approaches: 1) with and without a .bowerrc file

case: 1

 { "directory": "~/app-root/runtime/repo/public/libs" "storage": { "cache": "~/app-root/runtime/repo/node_modules/bower/cache", "completion": "~/app-root/runtime/repo/node_modules/bower/completion", "git": "~/app-root/runtime/repo/node_modules/bower/git_template" }, "interactive": "false", "tmp":"~/app-root/runtime/repo/node_modules/bower/tmp", "cwd":"~/app-root/runtime/repo" } 

case: 2

 { "directory": "public libs" } 

In addition, I tried the following commands [In $ HOME / app-root / runtime / repo] and tried to install nower install using the SSH shell

  npm cache clear npm cache clean 

Any help to solve this problem would be great.

Answer 1

Here's how I used bower in OpenShift with a node.js cartridge:

Prerequisites:

• You usually installed Bower globally.
• The git repo that you click on OpenShift should be easily configured to use Bower so that bower install from the root of the repo bower install job.

Necessary steps:

• Create a .openshift/action_hooks/deploy file
• Do chmod +x .openshift/action_hooks/deploy to make it executable before you add and commit it in your repo
• Add the following lines to the file:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

 HOME=$HOME/app-root/runtime cd ~/repo npm install bower ./node_modules/.bin/bower install 

4. Add and commit file in git repo
5. Configure git repository on OpenShift

Answer 2

This suggests the following approach:

• Add dependency "bower": "latest" - package.json

• Add script for postinstall:

   "scripts": { ... "postinstall": "HOME=$OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR bower install || bower install" }, 

Answer 3

well, for every time you need to use bower install , you can use export HOME=$HOME/app-root/runtime/repo in the RHC tool and then in the './app-root/repo' folder you can use bower install , if the bower command bower not available, go to the ". / nodejs "and run npm install bower .

Then, to the RHC tool (this worked perfectly for me):

• 1 - rhc ssh proyect-name
• 2 - cd nodejs
• 3 - npm install bower
• 4 - cd ..
• 5 - export HOME=$HOME/app-root/runtime/repo
• 6 - cd app-root/repo
• 7 - bower install

made! good luck in your projects
