Errors during install (npm fails) about postleaf

[lukewatts]

Does this fail when you try running gulp build or is it npm install?

[karsasmus]

You're using node 4.2.6 (info using [email protected]), but Postleaf needs node 7

@lukewatts both, if you check the log, errors are generated in both phases.
@karsasmus I updated and the npm install
2017-04-26T09_06_25_854Z-debug.log.zip
still fails, attached the new log

Personally I had to install gulp, node-gyp and node-pre-gyp globally.

Then I had to rebuild the following packages (e.g. node rebuild node-sass):

• node-sass
• optipng-bin
• jpegtran-bin
• sequelize
• sqlite3

Then run gulp build

Try to open your package.json, goto line 10 and change install to postinstall

Hi and thank you for the replies.
I did what you both recommended.. and the install worked (npm and gulp).
But the app crashes with the following message :

Error: Postleaf failed to start! 🐛

SequelizeUniqueConstraintError: Validation error

I'm also stuck at this point. I've created a separate issue here:

#22

[venatoria]

Saw it..
I will also see if I can figure it out.
Any thoughts @claviska ?

Isn't install and postinstall the same thing? From the npm docs:

I couldn't find anything that says they're different, and install works for me so I'm not entirely sure. 🤷‍♂️

As mentioned in #22, I just released 1.0.0-alpha.2 which fixes the database issue (see #9).

If you were installing 1.0.0-alpha.1 instead of master, try alpha.2 and it should work. If you were using master, then I'm not sure why it didn't work short of a permissions issue.

Let me know if it works with alpha.2.

@claviska Thanks for the answer.. I will try out alpha2 and see
will keep you posted

[venatoria]

Hooray! Working and it's beautiful :)
@lukewatts, @karsasmus @claviska thank you <3

I updated to alpha2 and added (+x to the permission, didn't change the user).
