yo polymer only creates a polymer-element, not application

[alduro]

I installed the generator as usual npm install -g generator-polymer. What did I miss ? Does not create Gruntfile.js file or app directory for instance.

The current version of the generator is for creating elements, following this approach. We're working on updating it to scaffold out a Polymer application

[dbroadhurst]

Every tutorial indicates the generator will also scaffold. Was scaffolding removed?

[robdodson]

Yes it was removed so we could start fresh by first getting the element creation step right. We're in the process of adding it back in now.

Thanks for clarification. The approach you recommend above does not use the generator at all. What's the best recommendation?

[alduro]

Thanks @robdodson. I found this generator that uses scaffolding but using gulp instead of grunt. https://github.com/NicoArbogast/generator-polymer-gulp Bu tI would prefer grunt.

Hi @robdodson. was scaffolding adding it back already ? Thanks.

I have this same issue. Is it safe to update this today?

[robdodson]

Yes we just pushed out the new tag this morning. You can go ahead and update. Here are the release notes: https://github.com/yeoman/generator-polymer/releases/tag/v0.3.0

Note it's version 0.3.0. When you run yo polymer it should now ask if you want to include core-* and paper-* elements. If it asks for your github username then you're using the old generator.

Thanks guys! This is working for me now.
