⌘ + shift + P => yo => Generator window shows up with empty list (but I do have a couple of generators installed locally using npm install -g)

Odd, do you happen to know what directory they're saved too?

Because atom is a different runtime environment than the real node... it's kinda hacking to find them.

Right now for linux it adds /usr/lib/node_modules/ which looking it now might just be terribly wrong. https://github.com/david-driscoll/atom-yeoman/blob/master/lib/generator.ts#L20

And forgive my ignorance, I don't have a linux/mac machine at the moment. I'm going to setup a VM sometime soon.

david-driscoll commented 9 years ago

I just setup a plain Ubuntu VM and fired up atom with atom-yeoman installed. After installing a generator everything seems to be working. I am very curious to find out what the path for global modules.

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/generator-aspnet/ for me

david-driscoll commented 9 years ago

@nosami on Jabbr ran into this too... adding /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ to the paths to search. Hopefully that'll fix it for you.

@david-driscoll Thanks for the quick response. I am exploring this project in hope that I can help down the line. I use nvm so my node_modules dir would be this /Users/brianlai/.nvm/v0.10.37/lib/node_modules.

david-driscoll commented 9 years ago

hrmm I'd have to know more about how .nvm works to get the right way to search for the files.

I added the extra path for @nosami so, and that seemed to work there. So it's probably just along the lines of detecting if nvm is in the home directory and finding the currently selected version.
