Re: [ovirt-devel] oVirt packages for JavaScript development have been updated

Thanks Greg! I actually merged patches for it to work, but it's always nice to see another approach, and in looking at your diff, I see that I also didn't change "--with-npm-install", which I should. As long as we have you on the phone (so to speak), I'm actually curious about ovirt-engine-nodejs. We've been having failures in CI since December, give or take, but they're not tied to any particular patch. That is to say that checking out an earlier commit still suddenly fails. This has been a low-grade annoyance while we prep for 4.1, since everything still builds and runs in build-artifacts without any problems, but getitng "-1 Continuous Integration" on every patch isn't very helpful. Webpack complains "PATH should be a string, is undefined", but never tells me where it's looking for this. We don't use path.resolve anywhere and I've probably tried every suggestion on github/stackoverflow for making this go away, without any success. There are a lot of reports that changing the downgrading the NodeJS major version (from 6 -> 5, generally) resolves this,b ut that's obviously not an option for us. Any ideas?
