[bradfernandez]

Server crashes when launched. This is a new install to a new windows machine using debian on the windows subsystem for Linux. Error log is below. Any help is appreciated.

[jlkalberer]

@bradfernandez - try npm run update-firmware. That should pull down the files correctly

[AntonPuko]

@jlkalberer won't help. they change github username, and some patches in the repos, so our script doesn't work anymore. @bradfernandez I'll probably fix that tomorrow.

[bradfernandez]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the quick response. I'll check back tomorrow.

[jlkalberer]

@AntonPuko put out a fix. It should be working now.

[AntonPuko]

yep, you should pull the latest dev and reinstall dependencies.

[bradfernandez]

I deleted the spark-server folder and cloned the git repo at https://github.com/Brewskey/spark-server.git. then ran npm install from inside the new spark-server folder. When I run npm start, it crashes with the same error. What am I doing wrong?

[AntonPuko]

@bradfernandez You're doing all right. I forgot to rebuild spark-protocol at yestarday late night. :shy: Try again, it should finally work now.

[bradfernandez]

it works! Thank you so much for your help.

[bradfernandez]

Well this issue is back guys. I am trying to setup a new system and I'm getting this same error again.

[AntonPuko]

Just tried fresh installation. works for me. Do you have any warns/errors on npm i step?

[bradfernandez]

Ok i deleted spark-server. cloned the github repository. and reran sudo npm i. results below. When I run npm start I get the exact same crash and message as above.

[bradfernandez]

After I run npm i I am not seeing the data or node_modules folders being created.

[AntonPuko]

npm WARN lifecycle spark-server@0.1.1~postinstall: cannot run in wd %s %s (wd=%s) spark-server@0.1.1 update-firmware /home/pi/spark-server

Spark-server postintstall fails with that warning, Im not sure what this warning exactly means. but according to your logs before, it can't get enough access to the filesystem.. Try to run npm run postinstall with sudo, or something like that.

[AntonPuko]

After I run npm i I am not seeing the data or node_modules folders being created. - so this definitely something with your rights to file system

[bradfernandez]

@AntonPuko Ok that worked. Very weird that it worked fine the first time but subsequent installs failed. I very much appreciate your help!

[jlkalberer]

Thanks @AntonPuko.

@bradfernandez - sorry about the issues. We pull down the system firmware from the Particle github to make OTA firmware updates a lot easier. They keep on changing the structure of their repos so things break around here

[bradfernandez]

@jlkalberer Not a problem I completely understand. I appreciate how attentive and helpful you and @AntonPuko have been.

[bradfernandez]

@jlkalberer @AntonPuko I am fairly new to this amazing programming thing and I have been very hesitant to open any issues or actually contribute to any projects because I didn't want to seem like a newb, but you guys have made this super easy and helpful. So I think from now on i'll be a lot less hesitant. Thank you!
