I'm getting an error:

Error: Cannot find module 'internal/fs'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:472:15)

You can see a build log at:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/remojansen/inversifyjs/build/254/job/oq4wfttejd4yrjt8#L307

Looks like this is a known issue npm/npm#14438.

And how this is related to AppVeyor?

[remojansen]

The following is done by appveyor:

Build started
git config --global core.autocrlf true
git clone -q https://github.com/inversify/InversifyJS.git C:\projects\inversifyjs
git fetch -q origin +refs/pull/398/merge:
git checkout -qf FETCH_HEAD
Restoring build cache
Cache 'node_modules' - Restored
Running Install scripts
Install-Product node $env:nodejs_version
Uninstalling node 4.6.1 (x86)...
Installing node 7.0.0 (x86)...
npm install -g npm

I'm not sure about the right fix but here are some of the suggestions from the issue that I already linked:

Make sure to update npm to npm@4 when using Node v7.

I resolved the issue by deleting the /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm folder and then reinstalled node 7.0.0 from the pkg installer.

Uninstalling node (v6.9.0), manually deleting node_modules and installing node v7.0.0 resolved it.

Maybe your node installation script is not working properly?

I still fail to see how this is an AppVeyor only issue. I mean, there shouldn't be any modules in %APPDATA%\npm.

As for manually deleting the local node_modules folder, that's something the user has to do. Or the AppVeyor cache should be more clever and check for the node version.

The build runs in a few versions of node:

environment:
  NODE_ENV: test

  matrix:
    - nodejs_version: "stable"
    - nodejs_version: "5.4.1"
    - nodejs_version: "5.4.0"
    - nodejs_version: "5.3.0"
    - nodejs_version: "5.2.0"
    - nodejs_version: "5.1.1"
    - nodejs_version: "4.4.6"

The build is working fine in all versions of node except nodejs_version: "stable"

I also found a second related issue with similar suggestions nodejs/node#9377

[XhmikosR]

Just clear your node_modules manually. The cache should be more clever and depend on the node version like Travis CI is doing.

[remojansen]

Looks like I fixed by inversify/InversifyJS@6c8b874 but I really think this shouldn't be needed as a manual step.

Thanks a lot for helping me out 👍

[XhmikosR]

Your so called fix is moot. You are basically disabling the cache. Unless you revert it later that is.

[XhmikosR]

Have a look at https://github.com/appveyor/website/blob/master/appveyor.yml and especially

cache:
- 'node_modules -> appveyor.yml,npm-shrinkwrap.json,package.json'
