'clever init' not working

[theocoria]

Hi Richard,

I tried a fresh install of cleverstack yesterday to check out the new releases of the node-seed and angular seed, but it seems that 'clever init' falls over the moment that the grunt tasks for clever orm are executed. See the error message below:

Possibly unhandled TypeError: Cannot read property 'promise' of undefined
at PromiseResolver$reject (/usr/lib/node_modules/cleverstack-cli/node_modules/bluebird/js/main/promise_resolver.js:117:23)
From previous event:

at /usr/lib/node_modules/cleverstack-cli/node_modules/mkdirp/index.js:29:20
at Object.oncomplete (fs.js:107:15)

Hope this is an easy fix.

Hi Richard,
got the same issue.

[theocoria]

Any feedback on this yet Richard?

[davidand36]

Same problem. For me it happens immediately after:
Running "prompt:cleverOrmConfigPrompt" (prompt) task
[?] Database username: Running database migrations...

And note that it puts up the prompt question, but proceeds immediately without pausing for user input. (The truth is, I hadn't set up a database nor database user for this new project yet anyway.)

[sgireddy]

Is there a way to skip database migration, I want a truly MEAN app so I don't want any DB stuff, but of course I do want auth & roles if that is a part of DB, then do I need to install mysql and create database first? This is my node Week1 and clever hour 0, sorry for asking dumb questions.

Here is what I got:

Done, without errors.

Sorry for the late reply, i have been working on fixing this but there have been quite a number of changes to get this all working correctly.

I am looking to publish a fix for this either today or tomorrow

[tedneward]

Any progress? I'm blocked on getting started with Clever because of this.

[pilsy]

I have resolved this issue ( i think ) - can you guys please confirm?

[tedneward]

Had clever 1.0.7 installed from before this email, so I just walked into an
empty directory and did “clever init clever-example”. Got an EACCES error.

Figured, “Hmm, maybe he released a new build.” npm rm –g cleverstack-cli,
then did npm install –g cleverstack-cli. Says that it’s version 1.0.7 again.
OK.

Tried again. Same error.

OK, let’s do this with sudo. “sudo clever init clever-ex”. This time, got a
really interesting error (cut/paste from Terminal window):

thanks @tedneward - the reason there is no new cleverstack-cli release is because the problems were in the node-seed and angular-seed repo's...

Odd that it is not working, i ran clever init frontend-test frontend
which gave me the frontend inside of the frontend-test folder, then clever init backend-test backend which also worked

And when i run the command for both (clever init test-app) it works as well

Can you run your commands with -v (for verbose) please

[tedneward]

Sure. Before I doŠ

() Do you want me to remove/install cleverstack-cli again?
() Should I run it as sudo or as just a normal user?
(*) Are there any other aspects of my setup (MacBookPro, 10.9, Node
0.10.latest, etc) that would help?

FWIW, it seems that I can do a ³clever init xxx backend² without a problem.
Haven¹t tried frontend since that was where bower seemed to get hung up
earlier. But I¹ll run whatever sequence of commands would help you track
this down. (Could very well be a problem on my end, too, so let¹s not
discount that, either.)

@tedneward

• You might as well uninstall and reinstall cleverstack-cli for good measure
• From experience, NEVER run any clever command as sudo, always as normal user
• Here is a article with some notes on installation on Mac and related topics, very shortshand, so hope it helps :) - http://know.iteonline.co.za/?p=1405

On the EACCES error that you where getting, try running $ sudo npm cache clear before you run $ clever init some-project. The reason why I suggest you try this is that when you do glabal installations of npm packages (like cleverstack-cli) you do it using sudo, so as a result the cache also gets infected with sudo permissions. So clearing the cache works a charm :)

@pilsy
clever init runs through nicely now. Just a few notes:

• Then I run a clever server to check if it serves correctly, nothing gets displayed and it's because cs_modal and cs_messenger is required.
• Run clever install clever-messenger and clever install clever-modal
• Run clever server. Frontend is now visible and everything it requires loads.
• First issue: Error: Cannot find module 'imagemin-gifsicle'
• This is displayed in the console when clever server is run and this same error prevents clever build from even starting.
• Can register a new user
• Can't login with default user
