postinstall script fails on CI

See original GitHub issue

On my CI server (Jenkins). postinstall script fails trying to execute: opencollective postinstall command.

This is the error

sh: 1: opencollective: not found

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.2.4 (node_modules/fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.2.4: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"x64"})

npm ERR! file sh

npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the commitizen@2.10.1 postinstall script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

I’ve tried to add ‘node_modules/opencollective/dist/bin’ dir to the PATH but with no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks for removing the post-install hook! This was causing a lot of problems during CI… if we can get a release with this fix that would be 👍 🙏

@LinusU looking at the filesystem, under node_modules/.bin I can find a symlink opencollective -> ../opencollective/dist/bin/opencollective.js.

I suspect that in a “standard npm setup” node_modules/.bin is added to the path by default, on my CI box I believe there are some restrictions due to the fact that a docker container is created/destroyed for each build so I need to explicitely add node_modules/.bin to the path. It’s just a guess as I don’t have much control/knowledge over this CI pipeline.
