StrongLoop Arc has been replaced by API Connect. We recommend Arc users move to the Essentials edition of API Connect. If you have questions, please email reachsl@us.ibm.com.
(using master branch) and node v0.12.7 (IBM) on windows 7 64bit local machine
1) create test application using slc loopback
2) configure it to use default base, no data source, and create a single property
3) go into the app root directory and run slc arc
4) configure a test datasource using oracle test database
5) test connection -> produces an error claiming oracle-connector is not installed.
at this point, I tried two use-cases:
6a) I stopped slc arc and ran
npm install loopback-connector-oracle --save
6b) I kept running slc arc and ran the same command
7) go back to the datasource and click test connection -> produces same error even though the connector is installed (and added to package.json of the test app).
The same tests work for mongo-db connector on the same machine, so I'm inclined to believe that this is an oracle specific issue.
