ReferenceError: _alepop$elm_notification$Native_Notification is not defined

[geekyme]

I downloaded the dependency manually and added it into elm-stuff and updated exact-dependencies.json. I couldn't use https://github.com/gdotdesign/elm-github-install as I am on cygwin.

elm-package.json:

{
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "summary": "helpful summary of your project, less than 80 characters",
    "repository": "https://github.com/user/project.git",

    },
    "elm-version": "0.18.0 <= v < 0.19.0"

When I run the project, I get following runtime error:

All my other dependencies work

@geekyme hello! Can you please try to use the source files from this commit https://github.com/alepop/elm-notification/tree/3d74f9bb81f7bb2ee1b9326490835cc38516f8aa ?

Ok I just downloaded those source files from that commit.

I setup my project and manually loaded the library into the directory folder:

Now i'm getting this error:

[geekyme]

The only way I've found to have work is to copy your source files (Native/Notification.js and Notification.elm) out into my project src, and declaring my project with:

native-modules: true

As shown in https://github.com/gabrielperales/elm-native-module/blob/master/README.md.

Out of ideas how to do this without elm-github-install.

I did the same thing as original poster - as there is no mechanism to publish packages locally (wo lots of npm/grunt/bower .js ninja tools)

i think the problem lies in Notification.js (i might be wrong) :

var _z_alepop$elm_notification$Native_Notification = function() {

...which does not correspond the provided namespace in the project given by the github url in elm-package.json:

"repository": "https://github.com/alepop/elm-notification.git",

...elm beliews the namespace is "alepop" and will try to refer to the native binding with "_alepop" in the generated .js code.

Interresting thing is that the "_z" probebly is there for a reason. If we correct the Notification.js to have prefix "_alepop" we still get the error. It seems the order of code comes in to play. By changing the github url to "z_alepop" and leave Notification.js as is - it works.

PS. ...also remember the notiifcations api only works on a legit host - just running it from a file path will not work properly DS.
