Can you please provide the output of:

% ls -l /usr/lib/node_modules/glob/node_modules

and

% cat /usr/lib/node_modules/glob/package.json

so we can troubleshoot this further.  Thanks!

This file should definitely exist if the folder /usr/lib/node_modules/glob exists.  You seem to have an existing installation of nodejs-glob that is corrupted for some reason.

Does rpm report it to be installed?

% rpm -q nodejs-glob

If so, try removing it and clean up the mess and retry installing it:

# yum remove nodejs-glob
# rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules/glob
# yum install nodejs-glob

If not, skip the first command:

# rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules/glob
# yum install nodejs-glob

This should return everything to a working state.

Ah - OK - go ahead and close this! Somehow the devassistant dependency installer is hosing up the Node.js package structure - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1142766#c4 for how it's happening.

Created attachment 941772 [details]
screenshot of DevAssistant requesting install of 'glob' while it's already there

Current state of the system:

node.js and npm and nodejs-glob are all installed, as are the RPM dependencies devassistant wants to make an Express project:

1. Open devassistant
2. Create an Express.js project using the 'deps-only' checkbox
3. DevAssistant tries to install 'glob' via NPM - see screenshot

glob is there:

$ yum list installed|grep nodejs-glob
nodejs-glob.noarch            3.2.6-2.fc21          @fedora                     

If I allow it to install 'glob' from NPM it says it has done so, but re-running the project creation doesn't recognize that it's there and asks me to install it again!

It appears to have installed a local version of glob-4.0.6 in my home directory; there are files in ~/node_modules and ~/.npm. But I don't think DevAssistant is looking there. Perhaps there's an environment variable I need to set before starting DevAssistant.

I suspect this will go away when glob-4.0.6 makes it into the repositories -  1030898

This has gone away, although I can't determine which new package fixed it. DevAssistant installs 'glob' from an RPM, discovers it needs a newer version and summons npm to install it. npm then goes and gets glob 4.2.0

You can close this - it now works as of devassistant-0.9.3-2.fc21

I'm getting this problem:
Any idea's???
