sails lift fails as gulp seems to be missing from sails node_modules directory #5

Hi, I cannot start the app after following your setup instructions.

ls -al node_modules

lrwxr-xr-x   1 pschuegr  staff    60 20 Mar 14:45 gulp -> /Users/pschuegr/npm/lib/node_modules/sails/node_modules/gulp

gulp does not exist in this location. any suggestions? the gulpfile was generated correctly.

Thanks!

So, because sails depends on grunt; it automatically symlinks to the sails/node_modules/grunt because it knows it will be there. With the gulp version, it symlinks even though it actually isn't there. npm install fixed this.

Grunt shouldn't be needed. I'll have a look when I have time, but unless they made some massive changes to sails the generators should still work. What are the steps you took to install and configure?

I think sails has grunt in its package.json, so it's automatically installed when sails is installed.

I literally followed your installation instructions from the README. Globally install the generate-gulp packages and create the .sailsrc.

After I did sails new app and went to app and ran npm install, it installed the gulp plugins, so everything worked after that.
