Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

Closed this issue · 6 comments

For some reason when I type grunt, when within the folder, I receive the message:

grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.13)

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:

http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
helloncanella@yoga:~/code/giz$ rm -r giz
rm: cannot remove ‘giz’: No such file or directory

even with gruntfile created.

After a npm install & bower install, I've got the following error

Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Thank you for trying generator-node-webkit.
Do be able to help you we need the exact steps to reproduce.

The steps

  1. After the installation of generator, when within a folder (on the terminal), I typed yo node-webkit
  2. On the information npm install & bower install, the process stops, so I need to do it manually
  3. After that, when I type grunt I receive the following message
Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

What did you answer on the question from yo node-webkit?
Did you install a sample application?

I've tried the both options: to install and not to install. Following the suggestion of your question, I've installed a sample application, but the results I get are the same.

  1. call npm install
  2. call bower install
  3. call grunt dist- -f // -f is only necessary for the example applications

Then the dist will be created. Have a look at our wiki (https://github.com/Dica-Developer/generator-node-webkit/wiki) . There is described how to start developing with generator-node-webkit https://github.com/Dica-Developer/generator-node-webkit/wiki/Getting-Started
