Invalid package.json. Field 'main' is required. #1

Open mauvm opened 10 years ago

mauvm commented 10 years ago

When executing the workflow as described in the README, I get a window that says:

Invalid package.json 
Field 'main' is required.

With a blue sky and clouds and shit.

It looks like the package.json isn't located properly..

The terminal output:

2014-04-04 15:35:07.455 node-webkit[20669:507] Internals of CFAllocator not known; out-of-memory failures via CFAllocator will not result in termination. http://crbug.com/45650

My specs are: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, Node 0.10.25, and NPM 1.3.24.

Thanks for making a boilerplate though! (:

I've check the path ("public") that is given to the nodewebkit command, which resolves correctly. Also the package.json in the public folder does have a main field.

Also tested it with the example package.json (found on https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Manifest-format), which weirdly DOES remove the window frame.

Seems to be a known issue in Node-Webkit: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/issues/1503.

If you rename (or remove) ./node_modules/nodewebkit/package.json it works again..

I can confirm that renaming/moving /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nodewebkit/package.json allows my app to start running again.
