npm test failure

[Nikolas N]

Following the instructions to run the JavaScript tests here: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/javascript/#running-tests

I run npm install, then npm test. I'm using node.js v4.2.1, npm v3.4.1.

The command fails, and here's the output:

$ npm test

I guess it might be related to the node version -- we are using the version packaged for Ubuntu 14.04 -- 0.10.25. Could you investigate?

[Nikolas N]

I got the same errors using Node 0.10.25 on Ubuntu 14.04:

Can you try googling the error in your log ouput, "Error: Cannot find module 'grunt-contrib-qunit/node_modules/grunt-lib-phantomjs". e.g. ​https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-qunit/issues/26#issuecomment-22134722 might help.

[Nikolas N]

I'm able to execute phantomjs, so that's not the issue. I looked around but none of the proposed solutions I've found have worked for me so far. I will try to figure this out, but the error seems reproducible so I thought this was an issue with Django's grunt setup.

[Tim Graham]

Okay, please reopen if the problem turns out to be Django's fault. Thanks!

[Nikolas N]

I've solved the problem: using an older version of npm, the tests work for me. npm 2.x works, but npm 3.x doesn't.
