protractor Mac OS and Ubuntu

[artuan]

Hello,

I've tried to install clever on mac os El Capitan(10.11.3)
With this error:

Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c npm run-script setup-protractor

Then I tried install cleaver on ubuntu server also without success.

Error:

Haw can I solve this?
Thank you

[pilsy]

Thanks for reporting this, i'll take a look at it tomorrow for you

[artuan]

@pilsy I discovered clever yesterday and I would like to start my new project with it..
thank you!

Same issue on OS X 10.11.1.
node v4.3.1
npm 2.14.12
grunt-cli v0.1.13
grunt v0.4.5

[ilmesi]

Skipping protractor installation (-S) worked for me

[pilsy]

Your welcome @artuan 👍

@ilmesi That is spot on, and usually something that i do anyway (since Protractor is the last step in the installation/init process even when Protractor installation fails everything is still technically fully setup and ready to go)

@artuan Are you by any chance behind a proxy? if so you might need to set your HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables? If it's not that i would suggest running npm run-script setup-protractor from inside your frontend folder... If that doesn't work, run grunt webdriver:update directly in your frontend directory

[artuan]

@pilsy
Thank you for your help, I apologize for the late response.

Unfortunately both solutions are not working :/

The "Cannot find module 'utils'" error is caused by not setting your NODE_PATH, take a look at http://cleverstack.io/documentation/backend/#setting-your-node-path

[artuan]

@pilsy It worked!

Thank you for the support.

[fmoliveira]

As @artuan have mentioned, setting the NODE_PATH worked for me as well. Perhaps the cleverstack-cli needs a tweak to set this environment variable when running the clever init command, thus, avoiding this error?

PS: I've asked a question in this issue, but I've already removed it because I've gotten its answer from reading the docs, by understanding stuff behind the hood of CleverStack. Thank you @pilsy for this great work, I'm doing my best to learn to use it properly!
