Error 'spawn git ENOENT' while installing types/mysql2 about mysql2 HOT 16 OPEN

This package doesn't have a published package on npm so it installs directly from github.

Can you check that you have git installed and that it has access to your SSH key for access to github? Just doing git clone [email protected]:types/mysql2.git should verify this.

If you didn't intend to use SSH as an access mechanism you could update package.json to "@types/mysql2": "types/mysql2".

This solved it for me. Was building inside a docker container that did not have git 🤦

from mysql2.

Fails on my companys CI server:

error	19-Nov-2019 21:48:29	npm ERR! code 128
error	19-Nov-2019 21:48:29	npm ERR! Command failed: git clone --mirror -q git://github.com/types/mysql2.git

Would be easier for us if we just could npm install @types/mysql2.

Thanks for @chpaulin suggestion!
I've tried an alternative method to run apk add --no-cache git in front of npm install when using alpine image in the Dockerfile, which also works!

Just as a heads up, I've tried this on two different setups by now, one was an Amazon EC2 instance running Windows Server and the other was a desktop running Windows 10, both with their own distinct internet connections.

Also, for the ones interested, this is the tutorial I've been following and didn't manage to complete: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4clEduk6OQM

Ok, this is more substancial now. I've instead tried to just add the dependency to the package.json of my project and run the command `npm install' instead. Here's my devDependencies:

"devDependencies": {
    [redacted, other devDependencies],
    "types/mysql2": "1.0.0"
  },

And then I get the following error for running npm install:

npm ERR! code EINVALIDPACKAGENAME
npm ERR! Invalid package name "types/mysql2": name can only contain URL-friendly characters

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2019-07-25T15_50_39_439Z-debug.log

Did I make any errors trying to install the package this way? Is there any means to have it manually installed?

from mysql2.

Would it be you have a firewall blocking the connection? I have tried it and it is ok.

from mysql2.

npm i types/mysql2

I've shut down the firewall (at least for the Amazon instance I'm working at atm), but no luck, same error.

from mysql2.

I've been also attempting to use alternatives to the mysql2 while I'm facing this issue, but I'm also getting the same error while trying to install npm install mysqljs/mysql:

I'm also having trouble installing this module inside of my office. We have firewall rules explicitly preventing direct access to Github. Is there any way to install this through the npm registry instead?

from mysql2.

Hi,

Good day!

I'm having the same error:
Here is what I did:
-disable firewall
-update nodejs
-clear cache of npm
-deleting node_modules folder

BUT still problem exist upon running 'npm install' command.

C:\xampp\htdocs\my-project>npm install
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! enoent Error while executing:

Please help.

Thank you.

typings showing version 1.1.1 is available but github authentication is stopping to download this version. version 1.0.0 is downloadable but showing many internal import errors inside index.d.ts.

Also some event emitting errors are present for windows.

Very difficult for a typescript project to import 'mysql2/promise' due to type definitions

from mysql2.

typings is deprecated. You should install using npm

from mysql2.

I also encountered the same error

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent Error while executing:
npm ERR! enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/types/mysql2.git

from mysql2.

Having to add git to the container just to install this one dependency is a pain. Me and probably many others will just uninstall the types. It'd be really useful being able to install it from npm.
