Same error for me. I am working on windows behind a corporate proxy.

Bump, I have the same issue:

closure-util update

'closure-util' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

[geekdenz]

A work-around for now is:

npm i -g closure-util

This is a bug also on Linux.
The proper fix would be to have openlayers depend on closure-util and then call the one in there.

Same problem. Windows. Running cmd as Administrator.

@icemagno

This looks like it is trying to use the local version. Maybe there was a problem with this local version of closure-util.

Maybe try the latest version of openlayers and my work-around.

[icemagno]

It is a fresh master checkout of OL. I'm a realy newbie on this. Can you be more detailed?

[geekdenz]

@icemagno I think you have a different issue and with your proxy settings. How did you configure your proxy for npm? Fresh master checkout? Are you using OpenLayers or developing for it? If you are just using it, you should not use the master branch as it may not be stable. Use a stable version.

[icemagno]

Yep I think you're right about the proxy....Ive set it in enviroment and using npm config. The proxy is ok because I can see some packages being downloaded. I forgot to set it at my first try and have a different error. But....Geoserver is having some trouble to use my proxy too so....it is a military proxy and have some tricks I don't know. About the master..... I just take a bleeding edge master in a fork and create a branch to help the OL guys in a piece of code. Intent to create a pull request later but I can't help without setting the dev environment.

I'm having (pretty much) the same problem on linux.

@geekdenz: I tried to install closure-util globally as suggested, but it didn't work.

[geekdenz]

@icemagno & @knedlsepp Can you try

npm i

in the folder?

If that doesn't work:

npm i --save closure-util

[fengdehong]

add dependencies "closure-util": "github:fengdehong/closure-util"

I also have this problem

I am still having this problem, installing globally feels like a hack, can openlayers not simply add as a dependancy ???
