fatal error: unable to find local grunt #290

Closed dennis7742 closed 10 years ago

dennis7742 commented 10 years ago

Here's the entire message on vagrant up:

At revision 27348. Initializing grunt in WordPress develop... This may take a few moments. grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.13)

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:

So I'm headed for the Getting Started Guide. If anyone knows why grunt failed to load or install, please let me know...

Thanks

dennis7742 commented 10 years ago

So I installed grunt-cli globally on my machine just in case but I still get the error. I can see the Gruntfile.js and the package.json file right there in the root of the wordpress-develop project where they belong. But still the error. I'm stumped. Any ideas? os: Windows 8.1 ram: 12 G Thanks for any help... Dennis

bigfatfrog commented 10 years ago

I'm getting the same thing on both Windows 8.1 and a windows 7 machine.

jeremyfelt commented 10 years ago

I'm guessing this is due to the npm SSL issue. We probably need to verify how npm/node/grunt is installed inside the VM. http://blog.npmjs.org/post/78165272245/more-help-with-self-signed-cert-in-chain-and-npm

@dennis7742 The messaging in that error is "local" to the virtual machine, not to your computer. There is no need to install grunt locally. We should be able to get a fix for this in shortly.

Thanks for the report!

jeremyfelt commented 10 years ago

Ok, so this actually works on a fresh build of VVV. Likely because the new installation of npm comes without the self signed certs.

A couple things that could fix this.

  1. vagrant destroy followed by vagrant up. This will retain all files and databases but destroy all server software and config. Having the machine go through provisioning again should cause the newest npm to install.
  2. A series of commands to reinstall nodejs (and npm) by removing and then reprovisioning:
    • vagrant ssh
    • sudo apt-get purge nodejs (purge is required to remove config files)
    • exit
    • vagrant provision

Jeremy, Thanks a lot for the reply. I'll let you know how I come out. Sorry I missed you in Chicago last year. I've really been excited about using Vagrant & Puppet with WordPress dev since Tuts+ dealt with them a few months back. I also got a taste by installing them for Mathew Russel's Mining the Social Web using IPy Notebooks hosted by Vagrant.

Jeremy,

Sorry, but I went through both procedures and neither or both were able to yield a different result. I still get the same number build (or revision 27365) right before the error:

jonathanbardo commented 10 years ago

I got this exact same issue when npm was down about a month ago.

n1smo commented 10 years ago

same here, windows 8.1

jeremyfelt commented 10 years ago

@dennis7742 Is it possible that the WordPress core Gruntfile.js is missing from www/wordpress-develop?

@n1smo Are you getting this error with the most recent version of VVV?

n1smo commented 10 years ago

had the error last wednesday, tried it several times on a new installation.

I gave it another try yesterday and for some reason the problem is fixed...

shazahm1 commented 10 years ago

Just dropping by to say I see the same error.

franz-josef-kaiser commented 10 years ago

Can confirm issue. Purged nodejs. Gruntfile is in the folder, grunt & grunt-cli v0.1.13 versions at latest stable. Windows 7.

jeremyfelt commented 10 years ago

I'm going to see if I can test this a bit locally to reproduce. Has anyone had success with running vagrant provision multiple times until it works? I'm wondering if the NPM server is not doing well at responding or if there's something we can do to improve the connection on our end.

franz-josef-kaiser commented 10 years ago

I wonder which version of Grunt runs: My local global install or the VM install? Both seem to be on the latest version, so there's no chance to differentiate them.

Sgoettschkes commented 10 years ago

Hi, I was asked by @franz-josef-kaiser to look into this. Without a real stacktrace there is no real debugging. I am puzzled why you would use a shell provisioner for such a large project. There is chef/puppet which let you organize your provisioning much nicer and also gives you stacktraces and debug output and logfiles about what happened, which makes it easier to pin down problems like this.

As a first step, maybe write all the stdout and stderr stuff into files so one can see what's the real problem is?

jeremyfelt commented 10 years ago

@Sgoettschkes thanks for taking a look! It is difficult to track things down in VVV at times. Re proper provisioning, my thoughts in https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/VVV/issues/258#issuecomment-32822440 explain that a bit.

I think this falls a bit in line with my reasoning for avoiding a proper provisioner. While it's a fantastic technical answer for this type of thing for individual projects, the community benefits from having only the hurdles of Vagrant + shell to learn. At the same time, I use a provisioner in my day to day work because it's amazing.

@franz-josef-kaiser Your local Grunt should never run due to VVV. The "local" that provisioning is referring to here is inside the VM. Likely it had trouble installing at some point during provisioning. I would think that a repeat vagrant provision would help here, but it's tough to catch the errors.

dennis7742 commented 10 years ago

Disregard my recent post. It was a permissions issue. Once I ran git bash as an administrator, I got much better results and although it still didn't find the grunt file, it fixed it:

Great to hear, @dennis7742! Thanks for sticking with it.

maxbortone commented 10 years ago

Had the same problem as @dennis7742: I couldn't use grunt with the roots theme. But now I can confirm that running vagrant up in Git Bash as Administrator in Windows works!
