Cannot find module

[jabas06]

I installed the 0.8.2 version of generator-angularfire with:

npm install -g generator-angularfire

When I run yo angularfire I get this error:

Error: Cannot find module '../angularfire-config.json' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) at require (module.js:380:17) at Object.

I'm on yo version 1.2.1

I have the same issue. On node v0.10.31, npm 1.4.23, yoeman 1.2.1 & angularfire 0.8.2.

There are a couple directories missing in the npm published version. I can't figure out why they aren't being picked up; they exist in the local repo. I've tried various tricks to bump them in npm with no success. I'll keep troubleshooting.

If you're in a rush, you should be able to work around this using the following approach:

git clone git@github.com:firebase/generator-angularfire.git
cd generator-angularfire
npm link generator-angularfire
cd <PROJECT DIRECTORY>
yo angularfire

Later, when you want to npm install -g the real version, you'll need to do:

npm unlink generator-angularfire
npm uninstall -g generator-angularfire

Actually, cloning and linking produced the same error for me. I could have done something wrong of course.

I've release v0.8.2-7 which should address the issues you guys have been running into. If you run into any issues, open a new issue here and I'll help you troubleshoot. Npm dependencies can really be a bear sometimes and this upgrade path wasn't pretty on my machine.

Do uninstall generator-angular and generator-angularfire before running npm install -g generator-angularfire.
