Failed at the postinstall script 'mkdir ./histories'. about locus

[nchulani2]

One workaround is to install a previous version of locus.
Use: "npm install -D [email protected]"

Hi,
I'm submitting a PR to fix this at the moment, the error is caused by the use of "mkdir" on Windows.

Same problem. Any help would be appreciated...

Thank you for your suggestion, I just make a private package.
@huangchaowh/locus
it works on Windows.

Ditto with Ubuntu 16.04

> [email protected] postinstall /home/ski/swoop/codebase/system/campaign-builder/server/repo/node_modules/locus
> mkdir ./histories

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘./histories’: File exists

On linux mkdir -p will behave better https://linux.die.net/man/1/mkdir

[glenpike]

@rgrannell1 - are you able to check the PR I made on Windows?

[rgrannell1]

Hi @glenpike, I'll test that code at work tomorrow

[jlbets123]

Same here =(

[glenpike]

For those needing help: the workaround would be to remove the histories directory before installing locus.

[HuangChaoWH]

Change the postinstall, remove ./ , then it work on both Linux and Windows
"postinstall": "mkdir histories"

[glenpike]

Won't this still break if the histories directory exists already? If someone could test the pr #bbaad1b on Windows, maybe that could be merged.

Cool, so the PR is good on Windows? - Can you add a comment on #19 and maybe that can get merged in by @alidavut ?

Hello, i'm also facing this issue on Windows and Linux. After cloning a repository from github and run npm install i get this error message at the end of the process

@HuangChaoWH This works on windows. I am able to install. But I can only use the debugger once. Then if I try to use it again a second time there is an error at eval(require('@huangchaowh/locus')). I can work around this by navigating to the histories directory and deleting the 1 file in there that contains the commands of the last debug. Once this is deleted I can use the debugger again.

I'm guessing this is because the directory is not hidden?

I didn't have a './histories' folder and I was still getting the error. By installing the previous version like @nchulani2 suggested, it worked.

Thanks it worked for me :D

Installing locus 2.0.0 worked for me. Would love to hear when there's a fix for the latest version.

I just run into the same issue. Installing locus 2.0.0 works for me but is there a fix coming soon for this issue?
