npm smartclient-lgpl doesn't work without TTY terminal

[antanas.arvasevicius]

Hi,
we are using smartclient-lgpl npm package ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/smartclient-lgpl ) to install smartclient in our project.
But noticed that we cannot run npm install over TeamCity CI because of error:

process.stdout.cursorTo(0); [0K
   ^ [0K

  TypeError: process.stdout.cursorTo is not a function

Maybe do you know how can we resolve this issue?
Maybe there are some ENV variables or etc. to disable call to "cursorTo"?

We don't see that specific issue when adding smartclient-lgpl to a new project (though we see a different issue on Windows that will be addressed). Can you provide:

• What OS you're using
• Your npm version
• Your node version

[antanas.arvasevicius]

Hi,
It's virtualized build task on docker, here is versions:

OS: Linux docker-desktop 5.4.39-linuxkit #1 SMP Fri May 8 23:03:06 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
NPM: 6.14.4
Node version: v10.20.1

Maybe you can simulate npm install without terminal using "nohup npm install" command?

We've uploaded new versions to npm that limit the use of cursorTo(). You will need to pass the "--yes" option to avoid prompts popping up.
