@onokumus are you running this in an existing project/folder?

Also... please try running with gen gitignore -v to show the entire stacktrace and post that here to help debug.

[onokumus]

@doowb I installed it globally with the command

npm install --global generate generate-project

Then I give the

gen project

command in an empty project-folder. It gives the error above. I searched one by one to see which modules did not work. I saw the generate-gitignore module not working. The others are working. For example, generate-readme. But the generate-gitignore module does not work.

In addition, the output of the command

gen gitignore -v

is the same as the error above.

@onokumus thanks for the additional information, I didn't notice that you were running on linux before.

I was able to confirm this on ubuntu with node 7.5.0 and 6.9.5, but it might take some time to debug (mainly because linux isn't my default dev environment).

Thanks @doowb

@onokumus this should be fixed. You should uninstall both generate and generate-project from the global node modules:

npm uninstall -g generate generate-project

Then I usually clear the npm cache before reinstalling:

npm cache clear && npm cache clear -g

Then reinstall with the command you used above:

npm install --global generate generate-project

Let us know if you have any more issues.

@doowb Thanks. It's work!.
