Cannot install node package

Hi Stefan.

First of all every cool that you've created a nodejs image using windows!

I've created a container using:

docker run -it --rm --name my-yarn-app -v "${pwd}:C:\App" -w "C:\App" -p 3000:3000 -p 9000:9000 stefanscherer/node-windows powershell

I tried to install node-sass but ran into a problem

npm install node-sass --save-dev

and I got

PS C:\App> npm install node-sass --save-dev
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using npm@3.10.8
npm info using node@v6.8.0
npm info ok

Any ideas?

@nojaf Hi Florian!

Thanks for trying! Yes, this is a known problem running node or npm in a volume mount point. I've opened nodejs/node#8897 to discuss the problem with the Node.js maintainers.

At the moment you have to COPY the sources into the container or use the onbuild docker image.

I'll close this issue as it is handled in the nodejs/node upstream repo.

@nojaf I just forgot about the other solution: Use Node.js 4.6.0, the problem only occurs in Node.js 6.x

docker run -it --rm --name my-yarn-app -v "${pwd}:C:\App" -w "C:\App" -p 3000:3000 -p 9000:9000 stefanscherer/node-windows:4.6.0 powershell

Thanks @StefanScherer, works indeed!

Arf, I have the same issue with stefanscherer/node-windows:4.6.0 image.
Following error appears when I execute this PS script.

PS Script

$BaseDir = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
cd $BaseDir
r.js.cmd -o build.js

Raised Error

webapp.cdn.build_1  | Error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\ContainerMappedDirectories'
webapp.cdn.build_1  |     at Error (native)

Same issue with :

• stefanscherer/node-windows:latest
• isolation: hyperv in compose file

Thanks,
Fred
