Total crash on Windows 7.

[tswaters]

Hi there. I had some trouble installing sinopia under windows, a few build errors relating to fs-ext and crypt3, EOENT stuff, etc. but after a few tries it seems to go and I can start it.

However, it fails when attempting to publish.... following are the commands I ran :

C:\>mkdir test-node-module && cd test-node-module

C:\test-node-module>npm set registry http://localhost:4873/

C:\test-node-module>npm adduser
Username: admin
Password: 
Email: (this IS public) (tyler.waters@gmail.com)
npm http PUT http://localhost:4873/-/user/org.couchdb.user:admin
npm http 409 http://localhost:4873/-/user/org.couchdb.user:admin
npm http GET http://localhost:4873/-/user/org.couchdb.user:admin?write=true
npm http 200 http://localhost:4873/-/user/org.couchdb.user:admin?write=true
npm http PUT http://localhost:4873/-/user/org.couchdb.user:admin/-rev/undefined
npm http 201 http://localhost:4873/-/user/org.couchdb.user:admin/-rev/undefined

C:\test-node-module>npm init   # pressed return a few times for all the defaults

C:\test-node-module>npm publish <-- this crashes sinopia

The node.exe process ends unexpectedly, there is no errors returned. this is what appears in the other cmd prompt:

C:\>mkdir sinopia && cd sinopia

C:\sinopia>sinopia

 run following commands:

 $ npm set always-auth true

The hex code for that error is 0xC0000417 according to msdn docs is STATUS_INVALID_CRUNTIME_PARAMETER, An invalid parameter was passed to a C runtime function.

The 'test-node-module' directory does make it's way into the 'storage' directory -- subsequent calls to publish (after restarting sinopia) fail with the following returned:

npm ERR! Error: this tarball is already present : test-node-module

Also,

C:\>node --version
v0.10.28

C:\>npm --version
1.4.9

C:\>sinopia --version
0.12.0

I have the same problem. Any Solution?

[simonhoss]

I found the problem.
The problem is in fs-ext and the locking. Because locking does currently not work on windows baudehlo/node-fs-ext#30

I made a pull request that the file will not locked on windows. #154

[doublerebel]

looks like this should be closed from #154's acceptance 👍
