[Arkotek]

I manage to install Strider CD via pm2 but it does not starts:

$ npm install pm2@next -g
$ pm2 install strider
$ pm2 logs

It looks like the module is well installed in ~/.pm2/node_modules/strider/

Do you know any quick fix?

[knownasilya]

Have a look at this issue #979
Also which version of Node are you using?

[Arkotek]

Node.js 4.4.5

In the logs below above it's displayed

Sounds like a bad install, because strider-simple-runner is the default runner and included in the dependencies.

[oliversalzburg]

What does pm2 install do?

[Arkotek]

pm2 install does the following things:

• npm install strider --prefix ~/.pm2
• it then check in the package.json if there is the official "apps" attribute or it get the "bin" attribute in package.json
• then it does a pm2 start of the previously retrieved main file. With Strider it will be bin/strider

[Arkotek]

strider-simple-runner is present in ~/.pm2/node_modules/

Ok I tried with more classical steps and I cannot run Strider like that:

$ cd /tmp
$ npm install strider
$ node node_modules/strider/bin/strider

And I get the same error:

What happens when you try this:

cd /tmp
npm install strider
cd node_modules/strider
./bin/strider

[Arkotek]

Okay, so it's not working directory related. Is the plugin actually there? Can you please give us the output of this:

ls /tmp/node_modules/strider/node_modules | grep strider
ls /tmp/node_modules/strider/node_modules/strider-simple-runner
npm -v

-> Flatened node modules tree

[oliversalzburg]

WTF O__o There's no node_modules at all?

[oliversalzburg]

When I npm i strider, the result looks like this:

[Arkotek]

Doing npm install strider or any other packet will generate a node_module directory for sure so you will end up having a /tmp/node_modules/strider (I dont understand why you have /tmp/strider if you did npm install strider insiude the /tmp/ folder).

You may need to upgrade to more recent NPM version to see that now the npm install flatten up all module tree

Install has been finished at 2:20

[knownasilya]

npm install was done inside of the strider directory after cloning, otherwise you need to install strider with npm install -g strider which would give you a strider command in the shell.

Sounds like we need a wiki entry on how to setup Strider with PM2, since it seems to keep coming up.

[oliversalzburg]

Ah, I see it now. Confusingly, there was a git checkout of strider in my /tmp :P Yeah, npm i strider will not produce a valid application as it seems. Part of the problem here is how Strider tries to load plugins and where it expects them to exist. This could possibly be fixed.

[Arkotek]

How to fix this directory problem?

[oliversalzburg]

git clone https://github.com/Strider-CD/strider.git
cd strider
npm install

Using npm to install strider doesn't work at all apparently :\
