Cannot find module [...] node_modules/brunch/lib/cli and others

[gatlin]

I installed the most recent version of brunch:

$> npm install -g brunch

And then I cloned this repo:

$> cd Projects/carto_critic && git clone https://github.com/scotch/angular-brunch-seed ui && cd ui

I made sure to checkout the 0.4.0 commit (though I got the same issues in HEAD):

$> git reset --hard 4cffcba08874a5b101fb0ffd9b85f63576804ff6

I made sure to initialize everything:

$> ./scripts/init.sh

And bower:

$> ./node_modules/.bin/bower install

And finally, I tried to run the development server:

$> ./scripts/server.sh

The following is output:

module.js:340    
         throw err;          
                     ^

If I run my global brunch install:

$> brunch watch --server

I get an issue telling me font-awesome isn't installed and thus app.less won't install. font-awesome isn't in bower.json. So I install it and then run brunch again and things appear to work, except the example application has an error in Firefox in the console:

[18:30:26.704] SyntaxError: syntax error @ http://localhost:3333/js/vendor.js:1
[18:30:26.705] ReferenceError: angular is not defined @ http://localhost:3333/js/partials.js:1
[18:30:26.705] SyntaxError: missing ] after element list @ http://localhost:3333/js/app.js:1

I use angular-brunch-seed for other projects so I'm vexed as to how this happened.

try npm install -g https://github.com/brunch/brunch/tarball/master

@es128,

I'm seeing the same error with npm install -g https://github.com/brunch/brunch/tarball/master.

I believe this is regression, it was working yesterday. I'm trying to track down the issue now.

[kylefinley]

@gatlin,

This should be fixed now with ce3e272335628ffb98c5196bf6935193063326d9

Could you please confirm with ./script/init.sh or npm install -g https://github.com/brunch/brunch/tarball/master

[lecaros]

@kylefinley I was experiencing same issue.

I can confirm that it's working with last commit from master.

thank you!

[kylefinley]

Excellent!

I'm going to go head and close this for now. Please reopen if you're still experiencing issues.

[gatlin]

Sorry I was MIA there! [Insert excuse here.]

So I pulled from master, ran ./scripts/init.sh (and also ran npm install -g https://github.com/brunch/brunch/tarball/master) and finally ./scripts/server.sh and I got this on the console:

esther:ng-maybe gatlinjohnson$ ./scripts/server.sh 29 Jul 10:28:03 - error: { [Error: Component must have "/Users/gatlinjohnson/Projects/ng-maybe/bower_components/console-polyfill/bower.json"] code: 'NO_BOWER_JSON' }

[... for a while ...]

The full output is here. Additionally, the commit that you referenced does not exist anymore. Perhaps it was squashed (or similar)?

Sorry to be a stick in the mud! Maybe the problem is me, I can't quite tell :)

[kylefinley]

I can't reproduce this.

Maybe the bower_components directory as some bad files in it. Try removing it:

rm -rf bower_components

Then reinstalling

./script/init.sh

Or to save time just:

 ./node_modules/.bin/bower install

Or maybe it's a bower cache issue.

Try;

npm install -g bower
bower cache clean

Also try creating a fresh clone of the repo, maybe there are some non tracked files that are causing problems.

Please let me know if any of that helps.

[gatlin]

I tried a fresh pull from master just now and got the same problem. I didn't have a bower_components directory. Removing vendor and running ./scripts/init.shdoesn't do anything, nor the cache clean. The error output has to do with less. Here is a paste of it in its entirety. I updated less, no dice.

[es128]

@gatlin See if you have a .bowerrc file anywhere in the project directory or its parent directories.

@kylefinley If this turns out to be the issue again, you may consider adding one to your repo to force the target directory to be reset to the default.

[kylefinley]

@gatlin I just pushed a commit that adds the .bowerrc file as @es128 suggested. Hopefully that will help.

One thing to note -- when I was testing this just now -- I had to run ./scripts/init.sh three times before it eventually worked. I don't know if this is due to my internet connection or general bugginess of node, but that might be what's causing your issue as well.

[es128]

@kylefinley It was probably because the NPM registry has been struggling for the last couple days.

@gatlin, if you're still having issues I think that https://github.com/scotch/angular-brunch-seed/pull/85 by @kunjee17 might help with your issue. When you have time will you please test it.

Thanks, I really appreciate your patience
