Cannot find module 'hubot'

[steckel]

While using a new copy of Hubot (Hubot v2.0.0 & v2.0.1), I'm getting the error of

[Tue May 29 2012 15:32:08 GMT-0700 (PDT)] ERROR Cannot load adapter irc - Error: Cannot find module 'hubot' Error: Cannot find module 'hubot'

after cloning a new hubot, running npm install hubot-irc along with exporting the proper environment variables.

Needed to add hubot to the hubot-irc package.json dependancies.

For more info use the following guides located here

make sure you use the latest for hubot - 2.2.1 and hubot-irc - 0.0.8 on the package.json

i followed this to the letter and i still have the problem.

Can you give this a try... making sure to start fresh. Note that you must use the hubot code from the downloads page link.

I literally just 5 minutes ago followed this and had no problems.

Installation and Setup

NOTICE: This bot is now upgraded to Hubot 2.3. You should specify 0.0.8 as your hubot-irc dependency for older versions of Hubot (<2.3.0).

• Download and Extract Hubot 2.3 from the Hubot Downloads page
• Run npm install hubot-irc --save in the extracted Hubot 2 directory to add the hubot-irc adapter to your dependencies.
• Install dependencies with npm install
• Set your environment variables like: (Windows Users substitute set for export)
  • export HUBOT_IRC_NICK="hubot-new"
  • export HUBOT_IRC_ROOMS="#hubot-irc"
  • export HUBOT_IRC_SERVER="irc.freenode.net"
• Run hubot with bin/hubot -a irc

that worked! probably a path issue for me thanks! Also any way to push this into the background as a process? I am more fluent with Eggdrop :) so its new territory.

Seeing this with Hubot 2.5 and hubot-irc 0.1.15 node 0.8.19

git clone https://github.com/github/hubot.git
cd hubot
npm install
npm install hubot-irc --save
cat package.json | grep irc
    "hubot-irc": "~0.1.15"
env | grep HUB
HUBOT_LOG_LEVEL=debug
HUBOT_IRC_ROOMS=#myroom
HUBOT_IRC_DEBUG=true
HUBOT_IRC_NICK=myhubot
HUBOT_IRC_SERVER=irc.freenode.net
./bin/hubot -a irc

You cannot simply clone the hubot repo. The hubot repo says that directly in its readme. I'd recommend you either:

1. Follow the directions provided above
2. Clone the https://github.com/jgable/hubot-irc-runnable repo and follow its directions
3. Follow the actual instructions on the hubot repo readme.

@jgable thanks a lot, feeling a little stupid right there. I was following https://github.com/github/hubot/wiki/Deploying-Hubot-onto-UNIX which does recommend the direct clone. I’ll try the methods you pointed out, thanks!

when running

bin/hubot -a irc --name sbot

Hubot seems to just hang with the following message

WARNING The HUBOT_AUTH_ADMIN environment variable not set
INFO Data for brain retrieved from Redis

I've checked the HUBOT variables and everything seems fine...

[jgable]

What directions did you follow to get it setup?

[gholadr]

nm - there was a problem with my grove setup. followed the directions as stated above and they work fine. thanks.
