"Failed to install node packages"

[epaga]

Tried installing and ran into the following error in step 4. I assume manually reinstalling node should fix things, but since the error message said to contact you, I'm doing this. :)

When I manually installed the latest node.js and reran the python script, this is what happened:

sudo python ./coco/scripts/devSetup/setup.py

[epaga]

Removed everything, tried again. When it asked whether or not to update node I said no (since I already have the latest node afaik - 0.10.24 - and now the script ran through flawlessly.

[schmatz]

Hey epaga, thanks for reporting this issue! I'll look into it today.

[schmatz]

I've fixed this issue, and will push the changes tomorrow after testing. Thanks again for reporting it!

[schmatz]

@epaga, are you using a tool like nvm?

It appears as if the problem occurs on Ubuntu too when an old version of node is installed, as when the script is run as sudo the paths change(based on how Ubuntu builds sudo). It then appears to the script as not installed, the script tries to install the latest version, and then npm runs and sees the old version installed. Rather than fix it for both platforms in the script itself, I'm going to edit the initial bash script to check for old versions of node instead and warn at that step.

[jequal]

You are installing node0.8.16 by what method? Package is compiled it?

[jequal]

The implementation of "sudo python ./coco/scripts/devSetup/setup.py" installation, suggesting that "/ usr / local / lib" does not find node, after the installation is complete, suggesting that "npm WARN engine coffee-script-redux@2.0. 0-beta4: wanted: {"node": "0.6.x || 0.8.x"} (current: {"node": "0.10.24", "npm": "1.4.23"}) "

Browser to open localhost: 3000, prompted JScript error!

I need people to help, thank you!

@dmc56111 it may be easier to debug this with a bit of back-and-forth in our HipChat room.

[jequal]

My country is China, see codecombat very interested, and I want to promote in China, but encountered a problem, I do not know how to solve! Problem Description: Browser http: // localhost: 3000 load script fails, an error message:

error: error loading script

error: uncaught exception: error: invalid argument

check the js console for more

@jequal have you updated with the latest database dump?

[jequal]

@nwinter What instruction execution ah!

coco-update-treema coco-update-createjs

[nwinter]

This part:

Download the public CodeCombat MongoDB sandbox copy backup (updated every 10 minutes) and import it into your locally running database with the following steps.

1. Make sure the database is running on your computer (./bin/coco-mongodb).
2. If the backup file is compressed, uncompress it (for instance, if it is a .tar.gz file, run tar xzvf [filename])
3. Step 2 should generate a dump folder. To import this run mongorestore --drop [path to dump] if mongorestore is in your path. If it's not and you used the script, run [path to CodeCombat folder]/bin/mongo/mongorestore --drop [path to dump]

When downloading a new dump to keep the database up-to-date, use mongorestore --drop [path to dump] to clear out all old data (including any local data you have created) and replace with just the new data.

[jequal]

@nwinter Thank you very much, 404 issues have been resolved! However, problems still exist, browsing "http: // localhost: 3000" The following error occurred: error: error loading script check the js console for more

Are told what the problem is?

[nwinter]

I'd need the stack trace from the JS console to say for sure. But did these things happen without error?

1. npm install
2. bower install
3. bin/coco-brunch
4. bin/coco-mongodb
5. bin/coco-dev-server

If all those things worked, then the dev environment should be ready to go to http://localhost:3000.

[jequal]

I was under schmatz video installation, but also tried many times and the results are the same,

[jequal]

[nwinter]

When you see that message, you should open the JS console to see what the error is, then click the red triangle next to the error to expand the stack trace, then tell me what the stack trace is.

[nwinter]

Oh, I see, now. It's trying to load various fonts, analytics tools, and social network SDKs, but it can't find any of them because either 1) your internet can't access them or 2) they don't apply to domains that aren't codecombat.com or localhost (like LinkedIn). It should still work to use the local dev site, though, so you could ignore that first error message that shows up.

[nwinter]

Does your bin/coco-dev-server show any error messages when it gives you those 502s?

It would be easier to debug this over here: http://www.hipchat.com/g3plnOKqa

Can you give me a remote look?
