Error while trying a first install

[jmcollin78]

Hello,

I'm a very beginner with Mean and I'm facing problems at the "grunt" step.
When a issue the grunt command, I got this error message :
Running "jshint:all" (jshint) task
server\config\express.js
180 | function themeHandler(req, res) {
^ 'themeHandler' was used before it was defined.

1 error in 43 files

with -f to force it fails another time later :
...
Running "nodemon:dev" (nodemon) task
Waiting...
[nodemon] v1.0.17
Fatal error: EINVAL, invalid argument
Warning: Used --force, continuing.

Any idea to continue ?

JM.

@fyockm karma tests are also KO and I don't know if it is related :

$ grunt test
Running "env:test" (env) task

Running "mochaTest:src" (mochaTest) task

...
6 passing (149ms)

Running "karma:unit" (karma) task

@jmcollin92 linitng fix was easy enough. I saw that travis was failing when running the karma tests. Hoping that's related to your EINVAL error.

[fyockm]

@jmcollin92 I never got the EINVAL error. Please pull the 2 fixes when you get a chance and see if it works for you now. Thanks!

[jmcollin78]

@fyockm what is the best way to update my config ? (I'm really a newby)

[fyockm]

From your project root, I would add the upstream project (if you haven't already) as:
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/linnovate/mean.git

Then pull from upstream:
$ git pull upstream master

Here's some more info: http://gitready.com/intermediate/2009/02/12/easily-fetching-upstream-changes.html

Hope that helps! You can also join us on the #mean.io IRC channel if you have more questions.

[fyockm]

@jmcollin92 Thinking about it a little more, the instructions above apply if you forked the project on GitHub, which you probably didn't.
If you initialized your project from mean init <name>, the origin remote will already be set and you can simply run:
$ git pull
or
$ git pull origin master

It's ok for jshint and karma errors.
But still nok for the EINVAL error when launching "nodemon". Maybe it is related to my environment. What can I check ?

[jmcollin78]

The EINVAL error is due to CYGWIN environment. See : nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#6459
Lanching from regular cmd windows command is ok.
I hope this will help someone.

Thanks for the info @jmcollin92. When I have to use Windows, I typically prefer the Git Bash.
