nodeenv try to download non existing tar.gz prebuilt under Cygwin

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

Strange issue: I suspect a recent change broke this as it used to work last week, on another Windows computer with Cygwin.

Bug reproduction: pre-commit run using e.g. https://github.com/Lucas-C/pre-commit-hooks-html v1.1.0

pre-commit execute the following command under the hood, a command that also fails if I execute it manually:

nodeenv --prebuilt /cygdrive/c/Users/admin/.pre-commit/repoYHJ85q/node_env-default

The error is the following:

urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

The tar.gz it tries to install is https://nodejs.org/dist/v7.2.1/node-v7.2.1-cygwin_nt-6.1-x64.tar.gz, which does not exist. My guess is that nodeenv should use the Windows prebuilts instead: https://nodejs.org/dist/v7.2.1/node-v7.2.1-win-x64.zip This is because platform.system() is used: https://github.com/ekalinin/nodeenv/blob/master/nodeenv.py#L503

I’m going to ask for help on the https://github.com/ekalinin/nodeenv project, but do you have any hint at what the root cause could be here ?

You’re right, I must have mixed up things, it probably never worked.

I think there’s no need to keep this ticket open, I’m tracking this in https://github.com/ekalinin/nodeenv/issues/178

There is still an issue with this. I think I took a shortcut when I tested the previous PR (I must have skipped testing a full repo reinstall), and it definitively still does not work. Sorry about that 😦

This time it is because the NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX/npm_config_prefix env variables must be Windows-like paths for the npm install -g to pick the right path with Cygwin.

I just sent a PR to fix it: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit/pull/612
