Gulp failing because /resources/vendor/ is empty
Closed this issue · 27 comments
So I followed the install instructions.
When I run gulp it fails to create the .css because it says some file are missing (which they are).
Inside the /resources/vendor/ directory I only find a .gitignore file.
The only file Gulp creates is /public/admin.css - no js files either.
I ready in a different issue thread to just run Gulp again. That didn't solve the issue. Same errors, still no files being created.
What am I doing wrong?
I think that bower didn't work on your host. Did you install nodejs and use "npm install" after that? And then after that finish use gulp?
Thanks you for the fast answer!
Yes, I ran npm install prior to using gulp. However I got some "minor" error that optional dependencies failed:
I'm currently seeing this issue, I did a pull ran all the commands but still see my gulp fails because resource/vender is empty. What command is suppose to put files into resource/vender?
EDIT: find my issue. some reason when i pulled the file system .bowerrc file was dropped so the files didn't go in the correct location. Also had to run gulp twice. once it got the files, then the other time it built the files.
I ran gulp probably 10 times now without success. Any ideas what to do or a work-around?
well posting error messages will help. confirm you have node installed? confirm you have all the files downloaded. like my issue for what ever reason the (DOT) files didn't download or removed or what ever happen to them.
I do have a .bowerrc file in the main folder.
I posted both the error messages above. It was basically the same as yours.
post the output of when you run gulp
Thats what I get (the git error is not relevant i think):
delete your node_modules folder and start at the top of the instructions.
composer install
npm install
gulp
All right did it. Still the same error, vendors files are missing.
Where should the vendors files be coming form anyways? Is gulp supposed to get them?
paste your folder so we can see folders and files.
Ok:
open up resources and vender, I assume its still empty? so something isn't firing to populate that folder from bower
also run npm install --verbose and post the results.
npm install is the one that populates vender folder
I see, it is not completely empty. But the files gulp is complaining about are in fact missing:
(I reinstalled composer and nodejs just to be sure - no difference)
I would chime in saying I'm getting this same error saying the same files are missing.

Had the same problem. It looks like bower installs all dependencies into bower_compontents and not to resources/vendor.
You just need to move the folder:
cp -rf bower_components resources/vendor
Got it.
It looks that (at least on Linux) when you're copying/moving files using wildcard, dot-files are not being copied. And when you miss those (I guess it's about .bowerrc), bower doesn't move the files from bower_components.
Previously, I was installing the project by unzipping the archive in the target directory and then doing mv Laravel-5-Bootstrap-3-Starter-Site/* . .And thus I didn't have (among others) .bowerrc.
After unpacking, renaming the dir (instead of moving files) and then performing the installation, everything works without problems.
Can you create pull request for that or something?
There's nothing to do, really. The above problem happens, when the project is missing files. With all of the files present, there's no problem, at least that's what happened in my case.
Unix users just have to remember, that if they want to move a project, they need to do both:
mv project/* new-dir
mv project/.* new-dir
I do not have the bower_compontents folder either.
(I searched for the missing files, the are nowhere to be found)
Same issues as reported by others :(
i installed fresh copy today and made sure the dot files were included and everything worked perfect.
So this is how i resolved some of the issues:
i) Do not use the zip (it is missing some .files). Clone the source instead.
ii) There is a possible circular dependency issue in the gulpfiles. So run the gulp command twice.
I cloned the source with github and ran all the commands. Files are still missing, same problem as before.
Could it be that the problem is somehow related to using Windows 7 64?
i just cloned source and ran:
composer install
npm install
gulp
gulp
2th time i ran gulp everything was green :0)
... sort of ...:
npm install
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing fsevents@0.3.8
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing fsevents@0.3.8
Now I put all generated gulp files so you can use it without gulp
