Its not working as should work, I runned the first one ok, then its entry on loop and not go to the next exercise. :(

Return the values for the description and the repository URL so that the user knows that their code was correct, which is better than just checking that they exist. This will ensure that the user put their URL in quotes correctly (which I messed up and only fixed when I tried to do lesson 8).

Also, my understanding is that Node 3.* doesn't require READMEs, so perhaps that instruction could be deleted.

I'm just going through this lesson at Node School SF so I'm adding suggestions in real time as we work through. Thanks!

When I see the list of released version in how-to-npm, we can see v2.0.0:

$ npm info how-to-npm versions
[ '0.0.0', '1.0.0', '1.1.1', '1.2.0', '2.0.0' ]

However, the latest version in the package.json is v1.2.0:

• https://github.com/workshopper/how-to-npm/blob/master/package.json#L3

I guess it's released by an accident, then I will bump the version as v2.1.0

When I try to update the package.json file to include my test.js I get the error:

ERR: Error: EACCES

It seems that for some reason I do not have access to change the json file.

I am up to step 14 Update, but I couldn't get through.

If I run npm-outdated, I have
Package Current Wanted Latest Location
@linclark/pkg 1.0.2 1.0.2 1.0.1 @myusername/npm-dev

I only can update the Current version 1.0.2 to 1.0.1, but how could the latest version 1.0.1 is lower than the wanted or current version? How I can update it?

Thank you.

It seems that the publish task verification passes even though the package wasn't published to the local registry.

Uh oh!
It looks like you didn't successfully publish the how-to-npm-test
package.  Try again!

In order to view your package content, I just ran this command:

  npm view how-to-npm-test

Run that command yourself to see what it prints out.


The `npm view` command is a great way to view package details,
to see what you just published, and to check if a name is already taken.

Now that you've published your first package here in make-believe npm
workshop land, go out and write a real thing to share with real humans!

You don't have to just share code for other people, though.  There are
also benefits to breaking up your code into small manageable pieces, even
if you are only using them all yourself.

You can imagine that your future self and your past self are the two
other developers on your team.  (Scheduling meetings is pretty tricky.)

Run `how-to-npm` to go on to the next adventure!

There are plenty of open PR's. Most of which seem to be good. @linclark @isaacs Do you intend to maintain it? Is there a way to get updates in this nice (and very important) adventure?

I ran how-to-npm verify for the very first test. When the tool/test found that I have an out of date version, it reported it as so. Of course, after that, I could not find npm on bash. I can verify that npm was installed, because that's how I installed how-to-npm in the first place. sudo or not, it nukes my npm install every time.

I had to reinstall node each time get things working again. Thanks a lot, how-to-npm!

My system details
OS X 10.10.3

Hi @ashleygwilliams !
I don't know why you closed my issue #41 , its still not solved:

So, my environment was approved :
verifying that npm is installed...
You have version 3.3.8 installed. Great!
Now let's see what the latest version is... wait for it...
The latest npm is: 3.3.8
Congratulations!
You have a recent version of npm installed!

But when I go to menu again its still are in question 1, and stay in this "loop":

This distinction could be confusing to new users. Since they probably don't know what OK is supposed to look like, it's asking them to make a choice which they don't have the information to make. It should instead be clear about the output that they should use to determine whether it's ok or not ok.

Let's put a .travis.yml into here

Those of us new to npm might not even have NodeJS installed yet on our machines. Please place a link to install up top of the README to make sure we're ready to run npm from our terminals :-)

Hello @npm

I would like to extend the offer to move how-to-npm to the general organisation for workshoppers of nodeschool to https://github.com/workshopper/org.

Everything works fine until I use what appears to be the correct command to add a dist tag.
Considering that I was able to use this command to add a dist tag to a module I created and published to the real npmjs.com using what I have learned from the tutorial up to this point, I am fairly confident that this is an issue with the dummy server set up for the tutorial and not with the command I entered.

Not sure how to proceed?

@isaacs in order to be able to publish any changes It would be good if our deployment team namely @julianduque and @tdd would be added as owners to how-to-npm

Nowaday, some major workshoppers supported i18n and it's obviously helpful especially for beginners. I would like to get your thoughts on multilingual support.

Technically, current how-to-npm is using the adventure module and it can't support i18n. Also, current way to display question texts is not easy to integrate workshopper-adventure which are used by another workshoppers to support i18n.

e.g.

• https://github.com/sethvincent/javascripting
• https://github.com/workshopper/learnyounode

This PR was too large to review. Let me subdivide the PR to do again realistically:

1. separate question texts from actual codes
2. Integrate workshopper-adventure instead of the adventure
3. Add another language sources

Could you put me into this list to ship the next version?

https://twitter.com/watilde/status/817308498270765057

I added him to the npm owner list since he is the maintainer of how-to-npm.
I also removed myself as owner since I am busy with other things.

Hi,

In the 08 Publish chapter I was not able to npm publish against the .npmrc local environment. However it worked when the .npmrc file removed and with a connection to https://www.npmjs.com/. None of the following chapters worked correctly either against this local environment, and all worked well again without the .npmrc file and with a connection to https://www.npmjs.com/.

I once went through the 02 Login chapter smoothly and npm whoami returned the correct info. At this point running npm whoami also results in authentication errors.

Looking at the path that userconfig in .npmrc pointed to (userconfig = /Users/xiaoli.shen/.config/how-to-npm/npmrc), there is no such file or folder named npmrc, which might be the reason for the authentication errors.

I'm using version 2.0.0 of how-to-npm and on Mac OS 10.9.5

My npm-debug.log is as follows:

i'm using windows 7 and everything went well until i reach chapter 05 : LOGIN. it says the following

'c:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Uh oh!
It looks like something went wrong

YOUR SOLUTION IS NOT CORRECT!

i guess it's referring to my node installation folder('c:\program files\nodejs')
ps: this is not my first nodeschool workshop and this is the first time something similar comes up

Moving the workshoppers under the workshopper org umbrella means that there is no longer a signal of who the implicit "lead maintainer" (i.e., the original author) is. Following the example of the other workshoppers it would be awesome to have a small group of people who are invested in the future of how-to-npm to volunteer to join a how-to-npm lead maintainers team. We'll make a GitHub team to list the volunteers.

Can't get past the very first step (verifying npm is up-to-date).

C:\Users\Quasar\Desktop\how-to-npm>how-to-npm verify
verifying that npm is installed...
Uh oh!  npm had a problem! {"killed":false,"code":1,"signal":null,"cmd":"C:\\Win
dows\\system32\\cmd.exe /s /c \"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\npm.CMD --version\""}

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

###   YOUR SOLUTION IS NOT CORRECT!   ###
#########################################

Looks like something to do with the space in the Program Files folder.
Anything I can do about this other than re-installing Node itself to a different folder that doesn't have space characters?

Trying to go through 03 login but unable to add a user with the adduser command.

This is the message i get in my npm-debug file:

Any help on how to solve the problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

In section 06, how-to-npm verify tells you to return to section 01 if your package.json has a syntax error (such as a missing comma). The error messages in section 01 and 06 suggest that there is no package.json file in this case. There should be a more helpful error message

here is my problem, what is wrong? Pls help me, thanks!

It could just be me but I have no clue what I'm doing here? What exactly goes in the "node test.js" file? I almost get the impression that the user is suppose to understand everything about node.js at this step. imagine seeing this for the first time

"scripts": {
"test": "node test.js"
}

All I know is that this is a json object.

this is my command i keep trying to run and it won't work. npm dist-tag add [email protected] latest

here is the log:

I was stuck in level 10, and I followed the following step.

Step 1. I change the module version

npm version 3.0.0

v3.0.0

Step 2. Type "npm publish", it shows

npm publish

npm ERR! Linux 2.6.32-24-generic-pae
npm ERR! argv "node" "[MY_HOME_ROOT]/node-v0.12.4-linux-x86/bin/npm" "publish"
npm ERR! node v0.12.4

npm ERR! need auth auth required for publishing
npm ERR! need auth You need to authorize this machine using npm adduser
npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR! [MY_HOME_ROOT]/node_tutorials/tmp/npm-ch2/npm-debug.log

Step 3. Finally, I type "how-to-npm verify" and it shows

how-to-npm verify

module.js:338
throw err;
^

Is there any problem with above steps ?

The first lesson, when I run install in the first lesson, it breaks my node installation....this has happened twice now, after I reinstalled node.

Not sure if this is a problem with my setup or if it's a problem with how-to-npm, but when I do npm view my-package-name as instructed by the verification message in challenge 07 (Publish), it just hangs. Outside the directory I created for the how-to-npm workshopper, npm view whatever works just fine, returning data about packages that exist or an 404 error for packages that don't exist.

re #25

It doesn't work with io.js. It displays the following error:

node: ../deps/uv/src/unix/stream.c:1174: uv_shutdown: Assertion `(stream->type == UV_TCP || stream->type == UV_NAMED_PIPE) && "uv_shutdown (unix) only supports uv_handle_t right now"' failed.
