Travis CI nodejs 4和eval npm install

Question

I m building an electron application with Node V4.4.3 and I need to build it using travis CI.

Actually, my Travis CI looks like this :

language: node_js
node_js:
  - "4"
env:
  - CXX=g++-4.8
addons:
  apt:
    sources:
      - ubuntu-toolchain-r-test
    packages:
      - g++-4.8
after_script:
  - cat ./coverage/lcov.info | ./node_modules/coveralls/bin/coveralls.js

According to travis, it seems that the build is okay one time per day (see #12 and #8 )

In other cases, it seems that the npm install command fails displaying me errors like :

The command "eval npm install " failed. Retrying, 2 of 3.

And the process is killed because of timeout (after ~40 mns)

Any idea of what happens ?

Answer 2

Please downgrade the version of grunt to grunt": "^0.4.5

As npm 2 doesn't support grunt version : 1.0.0

$ npm --version 2.15.11

so for this dependencies should be :-

"devDependencies": { "grunt": "^0.4.5",
"grunt-bower-install": "^1.6.0",
"grunt-contrib-jshint": "^1.0.0",
"grunt-maven-tasks": "^1.4.0", "grunt-npm-install": "^0.3.1"
}
