Roots JS-API Use Coffeescript.register() error #776

Closed iyerrama25 closed 7 years ago

iyerrama25 commented 7 years ago

Hi there, Referring to the following Docs: http://roots.cx/docs/js_api

I copy paste the create new instance of Roots code into 'app.js' and in a package.json adjoining to it, add 'roots' & 'coffee script' as dependencies.

$ npm install
$ node app.js

Am trying to run the app.js and getting the following error:

npm WARN api-project-3 No license field.
progress: dependencies finished installing
/project-path/node_modules/when/lib/decorators/unhandledRejection.js:80
        throw e;
        ^

Not sure how to fix it. Any help would be good.

thanks!

The error message gives you the solution!

Error: Use CoffeeScript.register() or require the coffee-script/register module to require .coffee files.

If you need to require a coffee file, just run require('coffee-script/register') at the top of the file you are requiring into. Or use a regular js file.
