heyho @danielbayerlein ,

i´ve written a script, that should reduce the amount of testing the generated microservices with generator-honeycomb.

one little problem is open, when trying to generate with react, it doesn´t find the linked honeycomb-register-client.

do you maybe know a solution?

danielbayerlein commented 8 years ago

@chrishelgert Good idea! I'm looking for a solution. 🔍

danielbayerlein commented 8 years ago

@chrishelgert I found the problem: npm link requires a node_modules.

The solution:

Call the yo-generator with the option --skip-install
Call npm link after the yo-generator

Tips / Hints:

rmdirSync does not work recursive, see rimraf. BTW: Yeoman can update the files if they already exist.
Add yo to the dev-dependencies (package.json)
Does it make sense to put the test-* in a folder (e.g. examples/)?

Thanks for the PR! I hope I could help you.

@danielbayerlein thanks for the tip with skip-install. now it works.

why rimraf and not updating the existing source: it´s for testing, and i think it is complicated to test a codebase that is complicated overriden/updated, instead of a clean test-instance.

i think example-folder is complecated to handle, while project is wip. we should keep this in eye when we have a stable release
