cake watch issue on Mac OSX Mountain lion "+cmd"? #364

Closed TimothyMischief closed 11 years ago

TimothyMischief commented 11 years ago

New to tower today. After install running "cake watch" from terminal gives:

/Users/tim/development/gamehotspot/node_modules/which/which.js:83
  throw new Error("not found: "+cmd)
        ^
Error: not found: grunt

Still relatively new to Node in general also, but from the outside without trawling through source it looks like something to do with a Windows fix? I would assume with "+cmd" in there. That's really just wild speculation though.

do you happen to have grunt installed globally? Try npm install -g grunt and then see if cake watch works.

TimothyMischief commented 11 years ago

That's fixed it! Thanks.

edubkendo commented 11 years ago

Good deal!

ghost commented 11 years ago

still doesn't work after running npm install -g grunt

for the current version of tower, npm should be npm install grunt@~0.3.0 -g
