Workaround

An easy workaround is to add the following to the .circleci/config.yml

jobs:
  build:
    ... 
    steps:
      ...
      - run: DISABLE_OPENCOLLECTIVE=true
      - run: npm install

Suggested fix

Don't throw errors if something fails, allowing to continue the installation without interruption.

This is related to the old version and the old setup.

Old

The opencollective npm package.

• https://github.com/opencollective/opencollective-cli

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "opencollective postinstall"
},

New

The opencollective-postinstall npm package.

• https://github.com/opencollective/opencollective-postinstall (This repository)

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "opencollective-postinstall"
},

@znarf so the error should not be thrown anymore when using opencollective-postinstall?

[znarf]

@macjohnny Yes. And if you have any issue with opencollective-postinstall, then you can report it as a new issue in this repository!

[macjohnny]

@znarf thanks! side question: is opencollective-cli officially deprecated and opencollective-postinstall the suggested way to include an opencollective postinstall message?

[znarf]

@macjohnny Regarding the opencollective postinstall message, opencollective-cli is deprecated yes.

The feedback (and experience) was that the package was too big and with too many dependencies for the simple task.

[macjohnny]

Regarding the opencollective postinstall message, opencollective-cli is deprecated yes.

So it might be good to add a note at the beginning of the Readme and archive the repository
