Gulp Serve Seems To Require Dev Dependencies

[haydenB]

Hi - I'm new at this - but I couldn't get the app to work with the quick start instructions.

When I follow the instructions:
git clone https://github.com/blacksonic/angular2-es6-starter.git
cd angular2-es6-starter
npm install

gulp serve

The gulp serve command starts asking for modules in the dev dependencies in package.json
For ex:
Error: Cannot find module 'run-sequence'

Should I install dev dependencies as well? After I do npm install, the dev dependencies modules aren't in my node_modules folder.

Thanks for your help.

Dev dependencies are required for running the application with gulp serve.
Which node version are you using?

[Gábor Soós]

Can you delete `node_modulesdo a clean install and paste the stack trace also? It is weird that there is norun-sequence``, because tests are passing on Travis.

Thanks for the quick response - I'm running node

v4.3.1

I'm not positive what a stack trace is: but here's the specific error I get.

$ gulp serve

module.js:327

throw err;

^

I can of course just add all of the devDepencies contents to dependencies
in package.json

but I thought that npm install would grab all necessary modules.

Yup, copying all modules over to dependencies seems to do the trick. Maybe something is off with my npm, but I'm running version 2.14.12

[Gábor Soós]

On my local machine deleted node_modules and did a full reinstall and everything is working fine.
Npm install skips devDependencies on other repositories also?

[haydenB]

Thanks for looking into it.

I believe this is the first time I've run into this problem with npm. On other repos I've used, npm gets devDepencies modules, but not in this case - for me at least.

[Gábor Soós]

Then I'll close this ticket for now.
