Hubot install on OSX El Capitan

[shigemk2]

I am trying to install the hubot on OSX El Capitan.

I completed this steps below.

$ npm install -g yo generator-hubot
$ mkdir hubot-example
$ cd hubot-example

I found this error when executing yo hubot.

$ yo hubot

I faced same issue, I couldn't find a fundamental solution. But I could success to avoid this issue; I pass all variables on command line. e.g.

$ yo hubot --owner="your name <name@example.com>" --name="hubot-example" --description="A simple helpful robot for your Company" --adapter="slack"

[shigemk2]

Me too. I avoided the error by executing this command.

$ yo hubot --owner="your name <name@example.com>" --name="hubot-example" --description="A simple helpful robot for your Company" --adapter="slack"

Simply providing the adapter worked around the issue for me: yo hubot --adapter="slack"

I found solution for this issue, but not sure why this occurred.

There're no changes around this code from long back, so it may be caused by yeoman(-generator) side change?

I'll check it and update PR description.

[yokomotod]

I think I could find the cause of this error and added a PR comment.

I have the same issue in ubuntu server 14.04.

Thank you for fixing this @yokomotod. While trying to investigate this in the code myself I made a couple changes to make it clearer as well (I was thrown off by the 'got back false' message, which should probably not be happening.) But I didn't fix it like you.

See my pull request

I have the same issue with Windows 10, Node v5.1.0. Work around by @LoganBarnett worked though.

[mikechernev]

Apparently it's a yo issue and they had it before yeoman/yo#247 The hack from @LoganBarnett worked for me too, so thanks 😉

A fix for this released in generator-hubot@0.4.0. Anyone running into this should npm install -g generator-hubot to get the latest.
