Could you give us more information about the app you're writting ? We do run our tests in Ubuntu / Windows so it seems odd that you're getting issues with an import on ubuntu... Maybe having the actual app would help us in figuring out the issue.

In order to run the tests, I should also mention that we do run "npm install azure".

[unicomp21]

it's just the sample code

var http = require('http');
var azure = require('azure');
var port = process.env.port || 1337;

var tableService = azure.createTableService();

var tableName = 'tasktable';

http.createServer(function serverCreated(req, res) {
tableService.createTableIfNotExists(tableName, tableCreatedOrExists);

function tableCreatedOrExists(error)
{
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });

   if(error === null){
       res.write('Using table ' + tableName + '\r\n');

       var task1 = {
           PartitionKey : 'tasksSeattle',
           RowKey: '1',
           Description: 'Take out the trash',
           DueDate: new Date(2011, 12, 14, 12)
       };
       tableService.insertEntity(tableName, task1, entityInserted);
   } else {
       res.end('Could not use table: ' + error.Code);
   }

}

function entityInserted(error, serverEntity)
{
if(error === null){
res.end('Successfully inserted entity ' +
serverEntity.Description
+ ' \r\n');
} else {
res.end('Could not insert entity into table: ' + error.Code);
}
}
}).listen(port);

Assigning to me for investigation.

[brenoferreira]

I'm getting the same error on Mac OS X Lion. When I call azure.createTableService(storageAccount, storageKey, ServiceClient.CLOUD_TABLE_HOST) I get: Cannot find module './services/table/tableservice'.

[andrerod]

This is strange...

Could you guys do:
npm -v
node -v

and check if your node_modules directory contains, at least, the following structure:
andre@andrerod-laptop:/Workspace/node_modules$ ls
azure
andre@andrerod-laptop:/Workspace/node_modules$ cd azure/node_modules/
andre@andrerod-laptop:~/Workspace/node_modules/azure/node_modules$ ls
log mime qs sax xml2js xmlbuilder

and "server.js" (or whatever is the main file in your app) is under Workspace/ (for my example).

I'm mostly asking it because i just tried this on a machine running Ubuntu 11.10 and it worked for me ... :/

I've tried to install it on a Windows machine, and it worked fine. So, as a workaround, I just copied and pasted the files from Windows into the Mac.

[brenoferreira]

Apparently, it's missing some files in the "lib" folder, I don't know why npm is not downloading it.

[andrerod]

I see. I still haven't been able to reproduce but you're probably right that there seems to exist an issue with the packaging. We did publish the npm package from windows so it might have something to do with it. I assume it's reproducing 100% of the times on mac?

[brenoferreira]

Well, it happened everytime I tried to install the package on OSX. I'll try to update NPM on the Mac and see what happens (on Windows, I'm running v1.1.0 beta 4)

[brenoferreira]

Just updated NPM to version 1.1.0-2 and I'm still getting the same error.

[andrerod]

@brenoferreira: I've just republished the package using the latest NPM version (1.1.0) and sent you an email so that we can try to find out what's wrong if the problem still reproduces...

[brenoferreira]

I've unninstalled both Node and NPM and reinstalled everything from scratch, and I'm still getting the same error. The only file in the lib folder is azure.js.

[andrerod]

Few more questions:

• Have you cleared your npm cache ?
• Are you sure you dont have azure as a global module somewhere ? what kind of install are you trying ? local or global ?
• Are you sure you aint getting npm errors ?

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/sax
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/qs
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/log
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/xmlbuilder
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/mime
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/xml2js
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/mime

[email protected] ./azure

It should output something like this.

[brenoferreira]

Here's the output from the npm install azure command:

304 actually means it's cached. Could you remove the cache and see if it still happens ? just to make sure that's not the reason.

[brenoferreira]

Just cleaned the cache and it worked!!! Thanks Andre!!

[andrerod]

Awesome. No worries.

[jpgarcia]

Guys, I'm having the same issue running on Mac even removing cache. The services folder is not being downloaded. I'm trying to install the latest v0.5.2 without luck

Any ideas?

[andrerod]

Hi Juan,

I did publish this yesterday on windows. Let me try to publish (later today) from a non windows npm version to see if it fixes the problem.

Andre

[jpgarcia]

Ok, thank you for your quick response!

[andrerod]

@jpgarcia : i've updated the npm package. Seems to be working now for the folks I've asked. Could you confirm it's ok for you now also ?

Thanks,
Andre

[isaacs]

Afaict, this is an issue with npm 1.0 handling packages between windows and unix, especially unixes that use gnutar (such as linux), and extra-especially unixes with a gnutar version < 1.22 or so (CentOS, the most popular Linux, ships with 1.15.1).

npm 1.1 is much more resilient to this error, since tar is done entirely in JS, and node-tar is explicitly designed to work for npm's use cases. However, if you have tarballs in the cache already, they might be broken.

I'd recommend updating to npm 1.1, clearing the cache, etc. Which you've already done :)

Please mention "@isaacs" in the bug if this happens again, or post it at https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues. Thanks :)
