running yeoman angular generator, karma dependency error

Question

I'm trying to run the generator-angular yeoman generator. But after installing and running it I get the following error

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/core-util-is
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/debuglog/0.0.2
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/core-util-is

npm list karma returns

└── [email protected]  peer invalid

so I think I have karma version 0.12.0 But grunt-karma wants 0.10.0 ?? I also install karma locally to my temp dir to see if that made a difference. It didn't.

Answer 1

The problem is [email protected] and [email protected] don't go hand in hand. The best way to deal with this problem is uninstall karma V 12 and install v 0.11.14 and [email protected]

$ npm uninstall karma grunt-karma

$ npm install [email protected] [email protected]

this should fix your problem.

any reason we don't uninstall and install globally here? just curious – Betaine

I also ran into issues with generator-karma not being ~0.6.0 so I just gave generator-angular what it wanted by doing npm install -g [email protected] My takeaway being don't think too much and just give the module you're installing whatever it wants. – Betaine

Answer 2

I've also gotten such errors. I had karma installed globally.

So I removed it and run the generator-angular yeoman generator again.

It installed [email protected] and [email protected] and it seems to be all ok.
