yo angular fails with npm error

[mbana]

I cannot get this running. Following http://yeoman.io/gettingstarted.html.

$ node --version
v0.10.22
$ npm --version
1.3.22

No packages at all installed in npm before invoking commands.

This is happening in the fullstack generator as well. https://github.com/DaftMonk/generator-angular-fullstack/issues/40. I posted a workaround.

[passy]

You have an old, global karma installation. Run npm uninstall -g karma first and install the angular generator afterwards.

[DaftMonk]

@passy Does the generator work for you? I did exactly what you said and get the same error.

[passy]

@DaftMonk Yes, it does. You can also try to clean your npm cache by running npm cache clean, but as the error says, the main issue here is that you have an incompatible version of karma installed.

[DaftMonk]

Tried clearing my cache and reinstalling again, same error. Heres my installed npm packages.

I'm getting the same error. Tried with a fresh npm, too.

[eddiemonge]

try:

npm remove -g *karma* yo generator-angular
npm install -g generator-angular

[kimifoud]

Still the same.

$ npm remove -g *karma* yo generator-angular

[eddiemonge]

seems like you might have a messed up install of npm. maybe try uninstalling all your npm -g things and then reinstall them? maybe even with a npm/node uninstall/install thrown in?

[DaftMonk]

I don't see how uninstalling all our global packages will fix this... This was working fine a couple days ago, now many of us are having this problem. I wonder what changed.

[illuminace]

I've been forcefully wiping all caches (global, local), uninstalling & reinstalling fresh/latest versions of npm for a while now, without any success.

Specifying versions of "grunt-karma" and "karma" in the package-json, as indicated by DaftMonk, temporarily resolves it for me.

[nscape]

I have the exact same issue.

I have an up-to-date version of node and NPM. I have never installed anything to do with karma or yo before this.

I have been doing the following with all global modules uninstalled:

npm cache clean npm install -g yo npm install -g generator-angular yo angular

At which point it fails:

npm ERR! peerinvalid The package karma does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements! npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer karma-ng-html2js-preprocessor@0.1.0 wants karma@>=0.9 npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer karma-ng-scenario@0.1.0 wants karma@>=0.9 npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer grunt-karma@0.6.2 wants karma@~0.10.0

[DaftMonk]

Seems to be working for me again. I tried doing @eddiemonge suggestion earlier, but didn't check if it worked at the time. I think that was the only thing I changed, but I can't be sure because I was messing with some other things. Can anyone else confirm if that suggestion fixes this error for them?

[nscape]

I just ran yo angular without doing absolutely anything and it worked just now after failing ~10 times over the last 2 days.

[DaftMonk]

@nscape That's really strange. Maybe it just started spontaneously working for me as well. I wonder if a package description got updated.

[kimifoud]

Same here. Works for me now, too. I didn't change anything, so I reckon it was a temporary problem with some of the dependencies?

[tfogo]

Also working for me again after a day of errors. Perhaps there was a problem with the Karma dependencies that got fixed?

Big thanks to @DaftMonk for the workaround yesterday.

[eddiemonge]

If its working for everyone, can we close this?

[Siranto]

It's not working again today

[eddiemonge]

@Siranto please open a new issue as this is an old one and the problem is probably different

[dezoxel]

Removing local project node_modules helped me resolve the issue.
