glob error [Error: EACCES: permission denied, scandir '/root/.npm/_logs']

[missinglink]

cc/ @Joxit are you seeing this too?

duplicated here, although I'm not convinced its an issue with the baseimage:
pelias/docker-baseimage#25

docker pull pelias/spatial:latest

docker run --rm -it \
  --entrypoint=npm \
  pelias/spatial \
  run env_check

> pelias-spatial@0.0.0-development env_check
> ./bin/env_check

Yes I have this one too ! But since it's only for logs, I thought there was no need to worry about it.

I didn't understand why this is happening since the user is root at docker build... and the folder /root/.npm seems to exists 🤷

[Joxit]

Oh, my bad, I thought you were talking about build time !

So yes I have the same issue on a fresh image... Even tests are not working...

[Joxit]

Okay, this is a nonsense, since they said the issue is caused because we are root... I tried with the user pelias. Here is the prompt:

docker run --rm -it   --entrypoint=npm  --user pelias pelias/spatial   run env_check

> pelias-spatial@0.0.0-development env_check
> ./bin/env_check

Need to install the following packages:
  tap
Ok to proceed? (y) 

This means the real error is hidden when we are logged as root (tap is missing). And as pelias user, we cannot install tap because all files are owned by root 😓 (tap is missing because we used --production
So IMO there is no need to worry about this one 😅 .
