CircleCI build failed due to Google anonymous usage data question

问题

While CircleCI build, in the processes of executing sudo npm install -g @angular/cli Google asked to share anonymous data usage yes/no question. How can I avoid prompt of that question in CircleCI ?

Image of docker is circleci/node:8 Command run: sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

Error message:

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

/usr/local/bin/ng -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng @angular/cli@8.0.1 postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli node ./bin/postinstall/script.js ?

This question is about CircleCI build and this is not a solution for me. I can't get this solution implemented in CircleCI.

回答1:

You can let your angular know that it's being built in CI by defining environmental variable NG_CLI_ANALYTICS=ci. Or just disable usage analytics question completely with NG_CLI_ANALYTICS=false.

Refer to angular-cli/docs/design/analytics.md:Disabling Usage Analytics for more information.

I was able to solve the issue by making few changes.

1. New angular-cli@8 does not support node@8. So I change my code to npm install -g @angular/cli to npm install -g @angular/cli@7.3.9

2. Also at the end of the line > /dev/null part was added. npm install -g @angular/cli@7.3.9 > /dev/null
