Description Henry Bruce 2016-12-02 19:02:19 UTC 
Observed behavior
=================
devtool successfully adds statsd npm project but fails to build it due to a registry error.

Expected behavior
=================
devtool should successfully add and build statsd project


Steps to reproduce
==================
$ git clone -b morty git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
$ git clone -b morty git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
$ source poky/oe-init-build-env
$ bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-oe
$ devtool add 'npm://registry.npmjs.org;name=statsd;version=0.8.0'
$ devtool build statsd
ERROR: statsd-0.8.0-r0 do_compile: Function failed: do_compile (log file is located at /path/to/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/statsd/0.8.0-r0/temp/log.do_compile.28279)

Points to note
==============
modern-syslog project successfully builds 
$ devtool add 'npm://registry.npmjs.org;name=modern-syslog;version=1.1.2'$ 
devtool build modern-syslog
Comment 1 Henry Bruce 2016-12-13 21:56:20 UTC 
I have found the same error where the following dependent packages fail to build

jsdoc-to-markdown
macaddress
ws
jsdoc
Comment 2 Henry Bruce 2016-12-19 18:18:19 UTC 
A poky patch that acts as a temporary fix for the statsd build can be found at 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/patch/?id=2fcb6cf005bd29ee800d251145795e72b1cd6f1c

Note that adding project via https still leads to a similar failure at build time
i.e. devtool add https://github.com/etsy/statsd.git
Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2017-02-09 03:53:39 UTC 
I have sent the patch(es) noted above and they have been merged, however I believe this isn't the complete fix - further progress is currently blocked by bug 10992 which I am working on.
Comment 4 Jean-Marie Lemetayer 2020-05-14 12:09:32 UTC 
With the last work around npm, this seems to be working now.

Note that the devtool url has been updated:

$ devtool add 'npm://registry.npmjs.org;package=statsd;version=0.8.0'
$ devtool build statsd
