Please try to upgrade via terminal, and see if this still fails.
As you can see by the logs, this is npm crashing, not UniGetUI

[redactedscribe]

I'm not particularly familiar with NPM which isn't helping. Interestingly, I don't see Svelte or Cli listed globally with the following command, so there's nothing to manually update:

> npm list -g
D:\Scoop\persist\nodejs\bin
+-- @electron/[email protected]
+-- @vscode/[email protected]
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
`-- [email protected]

I've run npm cache clean --force and re-run UniGetUI, but I'm still seeing the two updates available to these NPM packages.

Looking at the log above there's 71 verbose stack Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Program Files\UniGetUI\node_modules\@tauri-apps'. Why is NPM / UniGetUI trying to install(?) the Cli (Tauri) update under UniGetUI's installation path? The modules should be somewhere in D:\Scoop\apps\nodejs I believe.

I don't use NPM so I don't think its configuration would've changed.

Hmm, here's Cli and Svelte. I probably installed the two via UniGetUI some months ago. Why do they get installed to C:\Program Files\UniGetUI\node_modules\? Shouldn't they install to where NPM packages normally install (the Scoop path)? Or does UniGetUI come bundled with its own NPM and that's why?:

> npm list
UniGetUI@ C:\Program Files\UniGetUI
+-- @tauri-apps/[email protected]

Thanks.

[marticliment]

If running npm update gives the same output, I am afraid this issue has nothing to do with UniGetUI

[redactedscribe]

@marticliment But why are these packages (modules) installed under UniGetUI's C:\Program Files installation path in the first place? UniGetUI must've installed them there. I don't see why UniGetUI should install them there instead of where NPM installs packages normally.

After some further testing, I cannot even install any new NPM packages using UniGetUI. Same lack of permissions error. Installing packages directly via npm install -g <package> works fine however.

I have deleted C:\Program Files\UniGetUI\node_modules hoping that UniGetUI would recreate this when installing a new NPM package, but it cannot due to the error. Cli and Svelte updates are still somehow listed in UniGetUI (also deleted NPM's package.json in C:\Program Files\UniGetUI).

I'm not convinced this is an NPM issue.

[marticliment]

I have no such folder on C:\Program Files\UniGetUI, and I have just tested installing UniGetUI on a disposable VM and I don't see any node_modules nor packages.json folder.

In fact, those folders are not bundled on the installer, so I don't see how they did get created.

If you don't use NPM, you should disable it from UniGetUI Settings

[redactedscribe]

@marticliment An old, bugged version of UniGetUI would've installed / copied the NPM packages to its installation directory is my guess, but who knows.

I understand that you have many UniGetUI issues, and limited time, but disabling NPM from being used is not a solution to this problem.

I found another C:\Users\User\node_modules and its package.json where Cli and Svelte lived. Deleted those, now UniGetUI doesn't see them as updates.

The issue remains however that UniGetUI cannot update or install any NPM packages for some reason.

If I could figure out why UniGetUI still causes NPM to try and install new packages to C:\Program Files\UniGetUI\node_modules that could be a lead. Some env setting is probably being passed wrongly to NPM...

Attempting to install npm-check-updates via UniGetUI, two processes launch, and this is some of what a task manager reveals for them:

node.exe:

• Image file name: D:\Scoop\apps\nodejs\23.6.1\node.exe
• Command: "D:\Scoop\apps\nodejs\current\node.exe" D:\Scoop\apps\nodejs\current/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js install [email protected] npm-check-updates
• Current dir: C:\Program Files\UniGetUI\
• Parent process: powershell.exe

It looks like the issue is as simple as UniGetUI is attempting to install NPM packages without the -g global flag. It wouldn't make sense to install NPM packages non-globally via UniGetUI.

Can you please verify whether or not UniGetUI is passing a global install command to NPM? From the above info, the commands show no -g. If -g is passed, perhaps NPM won't attempt to install to node_modules in the current directory of C:\Program Files\UniGetUI\, but instead to where all other globally installed node modules get installed.

UniGetUI's NPM (Verbose) logs contain no errors.

I will check this, it could be some edge case
