Yeomon CRUD Module Sub-Generator breaks project

[coryfklein]

1. yo meanjs
2. grunt
3. localhost:3000 works perfectly as expected
4. yo meanjs:crud-module myModule
5. Nothing loads on localhost:3000

[nanuuki]

In which version are you experiencing this issue?

[coryfklein]

I assume "latest stable", because that's what the docs say.

the Official Yo Generator, which generates the latest stable copy of the MEAN.JS boilerplate

[coryfklein]

Also

$ yo --version
1.3.3

[coryfklein]

This is probably obvious, but I should also mention that the yo meanjs:crud-module <module-name> step is near the beginning of the "Getting Started" guide.

[NeverOddOrEven]

I will check this for 0.3.x. I'm working on the generator right now for 0.4.x.

[nanuuki]

You can verify the version of the generator with npm list generator-meanjs or npm list -g generator-meanjs. Latest seems to be 0.1.12. Just to make sure you have the latest version.

Edit: updated the command, oops!

[coryfklein]

Yup, mine is 0.1.12.

[nanuuki]

Works for me w/ 0.1.12. Are there any errors when running Grunt after yo meanjs:crud-module myModule - either in the console or your browser? The page will be blank if bower install failed to install Angular for some reason.

[NeverOddOrEven]

the crud-module generator works for me. can you check your javascript browser console for any errors?

[coryfklein]

Here is the error in the javascript browser console:

Uncaught Error: Menu does not exists menus.client.service.js:40validateMenuExistance menus.client.service.js:40addMenuItem menus.client.service.js:84(anonymous function) mymodules.client.config.js:7invoke angular.js:3965(anonymous function) angular.js:3811forEach angular.js:325createInjector angular.js:3811doBootstrap angular.js:1444bootstrap angular.js:1459(anonymous function) application.js:19trigger angular.js:2573(anonymous function) angular.js:2853forEach angular.js:325eventHandler

This is right after running this command:

Looks like the conditional if(this.menus[menuId]) fails because this.menus legitimately doesn't have a 'myModule' property. However, it doesn't have an articles property for the built-in articles module either.

[coryfklein]

In firefox I also get an error about livereload:

[nanuuki]

Seems like you set an invalid menu (if you haven't modified anything); ? What is your menu identifier(Leave it empty and press ENTER for the default "topbar" menu)? myModule. Instead of myModule try with the default (topbar) and see if that helps.

[nanuuki]

Note that the menu ids are in no way related to you app names.

[NeverOddOrEven]

@coryfklein, @nanuuki is correct. The app is boilerplated with only one pre-existing menu. Use "topbar"

[coryfklein]

That resolved the problem.

I read What is your menu identifier as asking me what I wanted the item to be named in the top menu bar. My bad.

[NeverOddOrEven]

No problem. Glad it's resolved.

[Microns]

I just made the exact same mistake. Maybe the wording in the generator prompt should be changed in the future?

[GPnow]

made the exact same mistake

[coryfklein]

@GPnow Maybe submit a pull request?

[vbabaria]

using "yo meanjs" version 1.4.7, creating crud module still doesn't show up on topbar - would appreciate any suggestion? - thanks

i tried "topbar" as suggested by earlier comments, regenerated all files, restarted grunt but new module doesn't show up on the browser

bash-3.2# yo meanjs:crud-module superheroes
Which supplemental folders would you like to include in your angular module? css, img, directives, filters
