Inferred Node 6.9.1 consistently fails to install (Ubuntu 12.04)

Feedback & Bug Reports

Sometimes one container, sometimes all 3.

circle.yml (Circle 1.0) - Just the relevant bits

machine:
  node:
    version: 6.9.1

The inferred step:

nvm install 6.9.1 && nvm alias default 6.9.1 returned exit code 106

Action failed: set node.js version to 6.9.1

Some feature specs failing on 14.04 have kept us from bumping up at present, and we’re not ready to move this particular project to Circle 2.0 either (high complexity).

I’m seeing this too, as well, on v6.2.1. Identical message except with 6.9.1 changed to 6.2.1.

Our last successful build appears to have started ~2:27 PM Pacific Time.

Same error, but for 6.10.2.

Thanks for the updates @drazisil - will keep monitoring both threads.

As an improvement to prevent this issue in the future…perhaps send the nodejs.org artifact requests through a caching proxy or similar, so that nodejs.org issues don’t impact builds? This could probably still be done if it’s an issue with the checksum list / mirror lists / etc.

Or is there another piece of the puzzle that prevents this? I would have guessed this was already being done for bandwidth conservation / faster downloads.
