Updated contributing #142

NPM requires that you symlink the component you need in the directory you plan on using it. Updated the directions to include that step.

Testing

Really? This worked for me without that step

jimmynotjim commented 6 years ago

It didn't work for me till I also symlinked in the other directory. See this comment in the NPM docs

Package linking is a two-step process.

jimmynotjim commented 6 years ago

Here's the error I get without symlinking in the test directory (this is a fresh directory)

@jimmynotjim Is it possible you hadn't npm install -g generator-cf? I think if it's globally installed you don't need to link where you want to use it.

Scotchester commented 6 years ago

I was just able to test #143 without running npm link generator-cf in my test directory.

Ohhh weird, I removed the link, and made sure it was installed globally, but a brand new directory is saying I don't have it installed. There must be something else wrong with my setup, but it's not immediately clear what it is.
