error: build of ‘/nix/store/bz1xsmywi6g2i2j41zadmxrn1j672zby-nodejs-4.2.3-plaidchat-2.15.0.drv’ failed

The problem area as I see it is this:

> plaidchat@2.15.0 postinstall /tmp/nix-build-nodejs-4.2.3-plaidchat-2.15.0.drv-0/package
> ./postinstall.sh

+ cp node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/libffmpegsumo.so node_modules/nw/nwjs/libffmpegsumo.so
cp: cannot create regular file 'node_modules/nw/nwjs/libffmpegsumo.so': Permission denied

It looks like it's trying to modify its nw dependency, adding in the so file that electron-prebuilt had built. Who the hell knows why; maybe this line could simply be removed from postinstall.sh but I'm not sure.

[dmjio]

Seems like a permissions error, would it matter if we called nix-build with sudo ?

[adnelson]

No, it's trying to copy something into node_modules/nw/nwjs which is a read-only folder in the nix store. Also, there should never be a need to sudo any nix commands (other than initial nix installation and nixos commands)

In this particular case the solution might be to do a copy of that nw folder rather than symlink it. This could be done as a preConfigure step, since the configurePhase does all of the symlinking. Something along the lines of adding the following argument to the call to buildNodePackage:

preConfigure = ''
  mkdir -p node_modules
  cp -r ${nw_0-12-3}/lib/node_modules/nw node_modules/nw
  chmod -R +w node_modules/nw
''

But of course, I'm not sure if this will solve the issue

[dmjio]

@adnelson, can we point the derivation to build from this branch?
plaidchat/plaidchat@plaidchat:047acf3...plaidchat:92f6b17

@twolfson made a patch here
plaidchat/plaidchat#147

[adnelson]

So I tried building against that branch, and the same thing is happening because it still tries to do a cp 😞

[dmjio]

@adnelson is cp the problem though? Or the lack of folder existence? I see this error at times,

cp: cannot stat 'node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/libffmpegsumo.so': No such file or directory

@adnelson can you paste the latest error?

[adnelson]

So I got it to build by putting in a preConfigure step like the one I had described. However, the executable plaidchat fails to run, because it's assuming the existence of a node_modules/.bin/nw executable. And even if I link this to node_modules/nw/bin/nw, that thing throws an error itself. This will probably take a bit of debugging to get to work. One of the problems is that in my experience, node packages tend to do a lot of heinous, ugly shit at runtime. For example this gem, in the aforementioned nw package:

#!/nix/store/vk13mnlwwsywj4ay0a0p04qalhl26ays-nodejs-4.2.3/bin/node 

function run() {
  // Rename nw.js's own package.json as workaround for https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/1503
  var packagejson = path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'package.json');
  var packagejsonBackup = path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'package_backup.json');
  if (!fs.existsSync(packagejsonBackup)) {
    try {
      fs.renameSync(packagejson, packagejsonBackup);
    } catch (err) {}
  }

  // copy over any asset files (icons, etc) specified via CLI args:
  require('../lib/app_assets').copyAssets(process.platform, bin);
 ....

Gotta love it when calling an executable causes a package to attempt to rename one of its own files...

[dmjio]

yea, I'm confused now. This means that plaidchat won't install at all then. Correct?

[adnelson]

Not without some modification. It should be possible to patch it to stop the bad behavior.
