generator-angular error - new route, controller, directive or filter

[janantala]

Hello,
I have just updated yeoman to 1.0 and have problem with angular generator.
My installation steps:

$ npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower
$ mkdir test && cd $_
$ npm install generator-angular generator-testacular
$ yo angular
$ npm install && bower install --dev

App works, grunt server works, but I get error if I want to generate a new route, controller, directive or filter.

$ yo angular:controller user
Error angular:controller user 

Invalid namespace: angular:controller (or not yet registered).
 Registered: 4 namespace(s). Run with the `--help` option to list them.

I have
yo version 1.0.0-beta.3
npm version 1.1.59
node version v0.8.8
MAC OS Lion

Thanks for help,
Jan

Same here, after running

$ yo angular 
$ npm install && bower install --dev

I'm not able to access any of angular generator options, if I run

$ yo

It doesn't list anymore Angular as an option

yo version 1.0.0-beta.3
npm version 1.1.36
node version v0.8.2
grunt-cli v0.1.6
grunt v0.4.0rc7
bower 0.1.0

Same here, after running

$ yo angular

I can access angular generator options, but after running
$ npm install && bower install --dev

I can not anymore.

Win 8 64bit

Same here. Workarounds / fixes?

[ryanseddon]

I'm getting this too, yo angular scaffolds the app fine but if I try and add anything else like a route, controller etc it fails with the same error as above.

I'm on OSX Lion.

[ryanseddon]

So work around for me is to go into the yo directory (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo) and run npm install generator-angular. All sub-generators seem to work now.

@ryanseddon That fixed all my issues on Mountain Lion. Thanks.

[wideblue]

Also works on Win system, thou directory is \Users"your username" \AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\yo in this case.

MAC osx 10.8.2.
YO version - 1.0.0-beta.3

I do not have yo directory. my file directory is as follows usr/psing/node_modules and it contains angular, testacular, and karma. I followed the workaround that @ryanseddon posted, but I am still cannot make it produce generators.

[btford]

This is very strange. Can one of you please do the following:

After running:

mkdir test && cd $_
npm install generator-angular generator-testacular

Can you do an ls or tree and post the results here?

[psing008]

i was trying do run npm install generator-angular generator-testacular in the User directory of my mac. I tried mkdir test && cd $_npm install generator-angular generator-testacular in app/node_modules and that seemed to work fine. I was trying @ryanseddon 's solution in the wrong directory. I am now able to generate angular scaffolding, and it is such a time saver. :)

Looks like they are installed in the parent directory and no longer reachable after running 'npm install'

$ tree

0 directories, 0 files

[btford]

That's what I thought. By default, npm installs packages to node_modules in the current directory, unless there's a parent directory that already has a node_modules directory or package.json file in it.

@sindresorhus, any ideas on how to fix this? Maybe touch package.json or mkdir node_moduels after cding into your project dir?

[sindresorhus]

@btford mkdir node_modules for now. Generators will soon go global.

Added a note to the readme. Closing.
