Yeoman's angular-fullstack has jpegtran-bin errors and 3 fails

Question

I got Yeoman's generator-angular-fullstack and ran yo angular-fullstack (without Heroku), but then I got these failures and errors:

  3 failing

  1) jpegtran should successfully proxy jpegtran:
     Error: timeout of 2000ms exceeded
      at null.<anonymous> (/home/ubuntu/fs_a/node_modules/jpegtran-bin/node_modules/mocha/lib/runnable.js:165:14)
      at Timer.listOnTimeout [as ontimeout] (timers.js:110:15)

  2) jpegtran should minify a .jpg:
     Error: timeout of 2000ms exceeded
      at null.<anonymous> (/home/ubuntu/fs_a/node_modules/jpegtran-bin/node_modules/mocha/lib/runnable.js:165:14)
      at Timer.listOnTimeout [as ontimeout] (timers.js:110:15)

  3) jpegtran "after all" hook:
     Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'test/minified.jpg'
      at Object.fs.unlinkSync (fs.js:760:18)
      at Context.<anonymous> (/home/ubuntu/fs_a/node_modules/jpegtran-bin/test/test-path.js:10:6)
      at Hook.Runnable.run (/home/ubuntu/fs_a/node_modules/jpegtran-bin/node_modules/mocha/lib/runnable.js:211:32)
      at next (/home/ubuntu/fs_a/node_modules/jpegtran-bin/node_modules/mocha/lib/runner.js:246:10)

      at processImmediate [as _immediateCallback] (timers.js:330:15)



/home/ubuntu/fs_a/node_modules/jpegtran-bin/build.js:70
                        throw err;
                              ^

    at maybeClose (child_process.js:743:16)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:810:5)

and then:

npm ERR! jpegtran-bin@0.2.0 postinstall: `node pre-build.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 8
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the jpegtran-bin@0.2.0 postinstall script.

I did find jpegtran-bin's github and found a similar issue, which ended with "we're going to include instructions on how to compile manually."

What should I do in the mean time?

Answer 1

I had this same issue and I updated both yeoman and my Generators and it solved the issue for me.

try running npm update -g yo and then run yo and select the option to update generators.

Note: if you are using an older version of node (< 1.2.10) you have to update bower and grunt-cli separately and make sure its the global version you are updating and not a local version.

Answer 2

I had a discussion with the developer for angular-fullstack and he suggested me to do the following because I had problems with mongoose and jpegtran, as well as I did not have a MongoDB server. Angular-fullstack only connects to Mongodb, it doesn't install it for you with the package.

1. yo angular-fullstack --skip-install

2. change the following in package.json:

   ...
   "mongoose": "latest"
   ...
   "jpegtran-bin": "latest"
   

3. bower install

4. npm install
5. get MongoDB somehow (either install it on my Ubuntu machine or get it hosted from MongoLab or MongoHQ)

But you can just update the generator like jonnieM suggested since at the end of the discussion with angular-fullstack's developer, he fixed the mongoose and jpegtran issues in angular-fullstack..
