Error: Invalid transport, must be an object with a log method

[Homie20006]

After a fresh install with the recommended installation @ wiki on 3 different test servers (Ubuntu 18.04 + Debian 9.4) i get the following error if i execute the start command npm start:

haste@0.1.0 start /home/homie/haste-server node server.js

/home/homie/haste-server/node_modules/winston-transport/legacy.js:18 throw new Error('Invalid transport, must be an object with a log method.'); ^

my quoting bugged idk how to do that properly...

i put both into a hastebin: error: https://hastebin.com/umuxedifiw.rb log: https://hastebin.com/jiyufoxici.rb

Hi if anyone is able to reproduce this on the newest version that would be super helpful. The information here from the stack trace is from an older version of Winston that is no longer being used. Thank you!

I believe this happens because of very old version of winston package, I had similar issue when I took up rewriting haste back in August and I had to rework whole winston from scratch.

Having the same error on a brand new install. Pulled commit 72863858338a57d54eb9dee55530e90ebbc22453 and having the same error.
