Closed henrybarnacle closed 7 years ago

henrybarnacle commented 7 years ago

Expected Behaviour

entering 'npm install grunt-responsive-images --save-dev' into the terminal should add responsive images grunt task..

Actual Behaviour

It won't work! Instead i get this message.. npm WARN reponsive-images@0.1.6 No license field

Steps to Reproduce

PC/Mac and Graphics Engine used

Grunt Configuration

Are you sure it's not installing? This looks like it's just a warning.

Looks like the license value has changed recently so I've updated that.

Can you see if the package is installing in to node_modules and if not paste the full error?

Thanks, Andy

when I type in the terminal.. node -v I get.. v6.9.1 Then.. grunt -version I get.. grunt-cli v1.2.0 grunt v1.0.1 so these seem to be in place. Then in my project directory.. npm install grunt-responsive-images --save-dev I get.. reponsive-images@0.1.0 /Users/henrybarnacle/Desktop/Project-Part-1-Start └── grunt-responsive-images@0.1.9

npm WARN reponsive-images@0.1.0 No license field.

At this point it has given me the node_modules folder in my project but both the WARN message and the grunt-responsive-images@0.1.9 message are in yellow and doesn't seem to have done all it's supposed to do. I've tried adding a license field in the JSON and repeating these steps and I still get the grunt-responsive-images@0.1.9 message in yellow but nothing else. At this point if I type grunt in to the terminal I get.. Running "responsive_images:dev" (responsive_images) task Warning: Could not execute GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick: identify "-ping" "-format" "%m:%T:%s" "images_src/cockatoos.jpg" this most likely means the gm/convert binaries can't be found Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've tried everything I could think of!

Is your project called 'reponsive-images' by any chance? Otherwise, I'm not sure where this is coming from as this project is called 'grunt-responsive-images' (no typo). If it is, then it's complaining about your project not having a license field I think.

As for the could not execute GM error, please make sure you have Graphicsmagick installed as per the getting started guide.

Hope this helps

Oh sorry for the typo, no it's called 'responsive-images' Graphicsmagick is definitely installed, just tried to re-install..

Warning: graphicsmagick-1.3.25 already installed

I've tried adding different license fields, it still doesn't work. Thanks for trying to help-think I've got to accept defeat at this point and maybe come back to it another time, Henry

Finally got grunt working, first by adding a license field, then I was still getting this message-

Warning: Could not execute GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick: identify "-ping" "-format" "%m:%T:%s" "images_src/cockatoos.jpg" this most likely means the gm/convert binaries can't be found Use --force to continue.

I had already installed Graphicsmagick several times..I hadn't realised you needed to download both Graphicsmagick AND Imagemagick! Now I've installed Imagemagick also and grunt now works perfectly, thank you!
