Build issues with current node/npm

[gicmo]

I am currently trying to build it on OS X (yosemite). It leads to the following error:

npm WARN package.json ember-cli-ic-ajax@0.1.0 No repository field.
npm ERR! Darwin 14.0.0
npm ERR! argv "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! node v0.10.33
npm ERR! npm  v2.1.10
npm ERR! code E404

npm ERR! 404 Not Found: expresss

npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a

I guess it has something to do with node/npm version being of a newer version. I cooked up a docker container[1] with node 0.10.1 and npm 1.4.6 and then npm install & co worked but building it via ember build produced the following error:

Upgrading ember-cli to a newer version (0.0.44)

I then upgraded the cli auth packages to 0.7.1 which resulted in:

I guess I still don't have to correct mix of version for the various components. It would be great it you could maybe provide a pre-compiled package.

Hi, I am having the same problem here. I spent the day trying different combinations of node.js and ember-cli in vain...

[stevenolen]

hi all!

Based on my knowledge of this particular front-end project, I believe it's a very early stage, potentially just a reference point for a future ohmage 3.0 frontend. The current stable branch of ohmage (2.16) uses a number of different frontend projects including: https://github.com/ohmage/gwt-front-end https://github.com/mobilizingcs/dashboard https://github.com/mobilizingcs/campaign_monitor

Thanks @stevenolen. I am not clear though on what you are suggesting to make this work... Cheers,

[stevenolen]

ah, sorry. I wasn't actually providing a suggestion for making it work...I don't anything about this particular project, just that the ohmage 3.0 server (what this frontend is coded against) is not a finished/complete version and this frontend is likely only partially developed based on that information. sorry I can't be of more help!

:-) No worries @stevenolen. Hopefully somebody will get back to us with an answer. The problem we are facing seems to be mostly related to the node and ember versions.

Hey folks, I found this thread while doing a search for this same issue. I just noticed that the version of ember-cli that I'm using has an odd dependency for expresss here. The new version of ember-cli doesn't have this dependency. My guess is someone had a package on npm with that extra 's' that has been pulled from the registry. Fun times.
