devstack fails in quantal - /usr/bin/env node - no such file or directory

Devstack installs what's in tools/pip-requres, so this needs to be addressed in the requirements.

Tihomir,
There are a list of dependencies which are installed from deb/rpm packages from the distros repo. E.g.: $desstack_dir$/files/apts/horizon

I think we need to change "#!/usr/bin/env node" to "#!/usr/bin/env nodejs" invoke in Grizzly release to support newer version of NodeJS package.

Fix proposed to branch: master
Review: https://review.openstack.org/15553

Cross-posting this from the review:

Modifying the script to use the quantal-only "nodejs" is unacceptable for 2 reasons:

  1. This breaks things for all versions of node which still *do* install a script called "node", including 12.04 which is the LTS.

  2. We're bundling the LESS script *unmodified* from upstream. I'm not open to changing that. The upstream still uses the "node" script name.

Honestly I think this is a problem between the Ubuntu package maintainer for Node and the developers of LESS.

That said, other solution ideas here are welcome.

One possible alternative (as a fix just for devstack) is to modify devstack to alias the "node" to "nodejs" under Quantal so that both versions work.

Gabrial, thanks a lot for review and comments. I'm agree with you now, it looks like Ububtu 12.10 package issue

I found this http://www.cloudbase.it/howto-solve-devstack-dashboard-node-error/
but, just installing nodejs-legacy braught up the dashboard.
The only reason I mention that is because, if you enable quamtum, it's just broke and it might not be obvious until you find this.
So, what is going to break then if it one just adds nodes-legacy or adds it to $desstack_dir$/files/apts/horizon?

Oh, I did forget to add though, everywhere else the error has appeared in the past with other packages the consensus
is to make tighten/make more build-dependency to versions of nodejs not renaming its binary.

I agree this should probably be fixed in devstack, as part of the point of devstack is to document installation steps, and clearly this is a new step for quantal.

Patch out there https://review.openstack.org/#/c/16458/ to fix it.

    install nodejs-legacy on quantal

    quantal changed the name of the node binary on disk, which breaks
    horizon on 12.10 installs. Provide a work around for installing
    the legacy package on that environment.

    Fixes bug #1070083

    Change-Id: If8ef211d12451ef4e1df0d2398cf18a3b2c46da3

This is fixed in devstack, and shortly we'll be removing the LESS bin file from the repo since other distros have caught up and have node/npm available.
