Build Error on NodeJS 8

[adl1995]

Request Type: Bug

I am running the build on CentOS7 with NodeJS version 8.9.0 (using rh-nodejs8 package). But it seems this version of node does not support node-sass version 3.10.0 as specified in Cortex/www/package.json file. It only supports NodeJS version 0.10, 0.12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

So, I re-ran the build with NodeJS version 6.11.3 (using rh-nodejs6 package), however, this raises issue with css-spaces dependency, which throws the error:

[error] npm ERR! css-spaces@0.3.5 postinstall: `bower install`
[error] npm ERR! Exit status 1
[error] npm ERR! 
[error] npm ERR! Failed at the css-spaces@0.3.5 postinstall script 'bower install'.
[error] npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
[error] npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the css-spaces package,
[error] npm ERR! not with npm itself.

What I did as a by-pass to build cortex was to remove the package version dependency in the www/package.json file.

@srilumpa - Thanks, that's how I've been able to build it for now.

But, is there a way to test Cortex and see if all the endpoints are working properly, etc.?

npm install --ignore-scripts should fix the issue, we don't need to have postinstall scripts of dependencies to be executed :)

Building with npm install --ignore-scripts works fine
