Unable to install 0.46 with npm on Windows about hfs HOT 12 CLOSED

Works without problems. 👌

from hfs.

this should be fixed by 0.46.1

After deleting the node_modules folder i can't seem to replicate the EPERM error with npm.
But regarding fs-extended-attributes, would fs-ads work as a replacement on windows?

npx fails without showing gyp error, sometimes showing:

npm WARN cleanup Failed to remove some directories [

The folder it tries to delete will randomly change each time

this is a warning, so nothing critical.
you said you could remove the folder with same user, so the eperm must be caused by something else, like the folder is not empty or the folder is being used.
Could it be that you had hfs running while also installing new version?

so, this seems to be your error.
I didn't have same problem because I have it already installed.
For the time being, npm/npx version on requires some c++ compiler installed (one that is recognized).
I would really want to get rid of this requirement, caused by a new library i'm using in 0.46 .
I'm using its funcitonality for the "uploader" information, but I planned to use it for other things as well.

it’s very convenient, because if you store information (like "uploader") differently, it gets lost when you move/rename the file, and also the information it’s not deleted if you delete the file. This library solves all these problems.

At the moment I'm not sure how this can be solved, but I will try. Suggestions are welcome, possibly good ones 🫠

Would fs-ads work as a replacement on windows?

from hfs.

not exactly: that works only on Windows.
It could solve the problem on Windows but only if I find a way to avoid installing the other library on Windows.
A have an idea to test when I'll have time: to fork the lib in a way that disables compiling and bundles a few precompiled platforms.

from hfs.

do you get errors if you try to npm install --no-save fs-xattr ?

from hfs.

ok, this shouldn't raise any error instead
npm i --no-save fs-x-attributes

from hfs.

or better, npx hfs@exp
exp is for experimental
