Install error with alfred-npms
alexreg opened this issue · comments
What's going on here?
I kind of suspect this is similar to #7, but rather than running as root, it's running as the special _homebrew user (I use brewdo). It needs to be run by brewdo because node modules are in /usr/local/lib/node_modules
, which is owned by _homebrew rather than any particular user. This module should probably have a manual post-install step to be run for each user on their Alfred settings.

(Sorry deleted my previous comment because I thought I found a fix, but I was wrong)
Also having this issue now, since I don't have my Alfred preferences synced in the default location: #20 (comment)
I have mine in the default location (the cause seems to be the above), but useful to know there are multiple causes.
Which alfred version do you use?
This surely occurred using Alfred 3, since v4 wasn't out back when I reported it. That said, I just tested on v4, and the identical issue occurs.
It's weird that it tries to look for the Alfred.preferences file in this folder /var/folders/sh/xb5grs3d247c0cxy_7s57_2r0000gk/T/brewdo.2VFTfF5U/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences-3.plist
. Or is that the location you picked in the Alfred settings?
Nope, it's not. Presumably this is an issue caused by interaction with brew
and its temporary HOME
env var.
Hello, I have the same issue with Travis builds using Node.js v10.16.3. I have same version of node installed locally on macOS and it works fine.
Failing build Node.js v10.16.3
https://travis-ci.org/skibitsky/alfred-timing/jobs/593542787
Successful build Node.js v8.16.1
https://travis-ci.org/skibitsky/alfred-timing/jobs/593542788
Same issue over here
Not sure if it's related to the Alfred Preferences being in a shared folder on Dropbox.
