npx @crystallize/cli bug

[hthaigler]

I'm getting the below error every time I run npx @crystallize/cli <project-name> . I would appreciate any help fixing it. Thanks.

Hi,

I'm not able to reproduce this. Can you provide a bit more information?

• Which environment is this, osx, windows, linux?
• Node version?

After a quick search, I've seen ppl with this error message having node_modules in their home directory which for some reason messes up the instalment. Deleting that folder resolved the issue in some cases. Worth checking out.

In any case, I just published a new version of @crystallize/cli which just outputs any error given by the cloneRepository function. Please have another go and let's see if we can clear this up.

[hthaigler]

I'm using the Ubuntu Linux subsystem for windows with node version 8.9.4. I just ran npx @crystallize/cli test-project again and got no new errors regarding the cloning. I ran npm i @crystallize/cli to see if that would update the package and give me the errors, but that didn't work either.

I saw the recommendation to delete the node_modules but my folder is empty.

[hakonkrogh]

Allright. Just realised that we don't enforce a minimum Node version of the CLI tool. It needs to match the minimum requirement of the boilerplates, which is 10.10 at the moment. I've just updated the CLI to enforce that. So in order to run the CLI and setup the Next.js boilerplate you need at least Node 10.10.

That aside, this might just be a git issue, it does complain about too many arguments. What is your git version?

Alternatively, we could potentially bypass git all together and just download the tarball instead.

[hthaigler]

Ok, I just updated Node to version 12.16.3. I'm on git version 2.7.4. I think it might be a git problem too. If I had to guess, it fails to download the repo, and the following error is a result of a missing file that should have been cloned in from the repo.

What happens if you try to do a clean git clone?

git clone --depth 1 git@github.com:CrystallizeAPI/crystallize-nextjs-boilerplate.git test-project

[hthaigler]

I get this error:

$ git clone --depth 1 git@github.com:CrystallizeAPI/crystallize-nextjs-boilerplate.git test-project
Cloning into 'test-project'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

[hakonkrogh]

What about this one using https?

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/CrystallizeAPI/crystallize-nextjs-boilerplate test-project

[hthaigler]

That worked! Thanks for the help. The repo is now cloned onto my computer. I would still like to use the cli to set up all my features stripe and send grid.

[hakonkrogh]

Great. All those features are enabled by default in the boilerplate. The only thing the CLI does is to disable the ones you do not want 😉

[hthaigler]

That's great. Thank you for all the help!!
