Automatically Crashed when Building app using " npm i "

[uD4ra]

Terminix was automatically crashed when I building app using npm i command. I have tried 2 or three times it was the same. When the middle of building app Terminix is suddenly diapering.
Ubuntu Xenial with elementary Loki.

Is this with an open source app that I could download and try to reproduce? Also, does this work in Gnome Terminal?

I'm using node on Terminix all the time. Never seen this :/

@gnunn1 to test you can just make a package file

mkdir test
cd test
touch package.json

add some packages on json file

{
"name": "test",
"version": "0.0.1",
"devDependencies": {
"babel": "6.3.26",
"node-gyp": "3.2.1"
}
}

then run "npm i"
Assuming you have node installed

Thanks Alex, I was thinking maybe there is something specific about his build (specific sequence of chars emitted, etc) that might be causing the issue. I suspect this would be a VTE issue rather then Terminix since my code isn't involved at that point generally speaking, but I always like to rule myself out first.

Yes It's open source app, and It's working with Gnome terminal and Pantheon Terminal too.
https://github.com/shockone/black-screen This is the app.. Thanks.

@udara-u3 I have built and run black-screen with Terminix numerous times. No crashes.

@alex285 Maybe it's with OS, I'm using Ubuntu Xenial with Elementary Daily build ( Loki ).
So as I know you're using Fedora Rawhide correct ?

Like Alex I can't reproduce it. Can you try to run a debug version of terminix under gdb:

1. Download a debug version of terminix here http://www.gexperts.com/files/terminix_debug.zip
2. Run this debug version in gdb, gdb ./terminix
3. You will be dropped into the gdb prompt, type run and enter
4. Terminix will start, do your build and get it to crash
5. Go to the GDB prompt and get a backtrace by type bt
6. Copy and paste the backtrace into this issue

[uD4ra]

Aha ok I'll try. :)

I wonder whether npm -i is just a red herring and the crash itself is unrelated to the execution of this command. Maybe something similar to what we experience in #101.

@udara-u3 A backtrace would really help to narrow this down

[gnunn1]

@udara-u3 Any update on this, otherwise I'm closing this issue as I cannot reproduce and need your assistance.

[gnunn1]

Closing, no response from OP and I think it's likely a duplicate of #101
