CircleCI build failed due to Google anonymous usage data question

Question

While CircleCI build, in the processes of executing sudo npm install -g @angular/cli Google asked to share anonymous data usage yes/no question. How can I avoid prompt of that question in CircleCI ?

Image of docker is circleci/node:8 Command run: sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

Error message:

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

/usr/local/bin/ng -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng @angular/[email protected] postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli node ./bin/postinstall/script.js ?

This question is about CircleCI build and this is not a solution for me. I can't get this solution implemented in CircleCI.

Answer 1

You can let your angular know that it's being built in CI by defining environmental variable NG_CLI_ANALYTICS=ci. Or just disable usage analytics question completely with NG_CLI_ANALYTICS=false.

Refer to angular-cli/docs/design/analytics.md:Disabling Usage Analytics for more information.
