On the Site bower.io,it says "There must be a valid manifest JSON in the current working directory." What does that mean? What is a manifest JSON?
This is referring to the bower.json file. This is a a sample of that:
{
"name": "my-project",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "path/to/main.css",
"ignore": [
".jshintrc",
"**/*.txt"
],
"dependencies": {
"<name>": "<version>",
"<name>": "<folder>",
"<name>": "<package>"
},
"devDependencies": {
"<test-framework-name>": "<version>"
}
}

I’m looking for a way to use a local package (named bs-package) from my Reason React app (named ApplicationA).
bs-package has a single file within src folder called ModuleA.re :
let greet_me = (me) => Js.log("Hello, " ++ me ++ "!");
In ApplicationA I did :
npm install /path/to/bs-package
In node_modules bs-package now appears as symbolic link.
Then added bs-package to bs-dependencies in bsconfig
"bs-dependencies": [
"reason-react",
"bs-package",
],
Then run make world in ApplicationA
bsb -make-world
Now in my Reason React app
ModuleA.greet_me("John");
Gives me
unbound module ModuleA
What am I missing ?
EDIT
Here is the config file of bs-package
It was created with
bsb -init bs-package -theme basic-reson
bsconfig.json
{
"name": "bs-pacakge",
"version": "0.1.0",
"sources": {
"dir" : "src",
"subdirs" : true
},
"package-specs": {
"module": "commonjs",
"in-source": true
},
"suffix": ".bs.js",
"bs-dependencies": [
],
"warnings": {
"error" : "+101"
},
"namespace": true,
"refmt": 3
}
package.json
{
"name": "bs-pacakge",
"version": "0.1.0",
"scripts": {
"build": "bsb -make-world",
"start": "bsb -make-world -w",
"clean": "bsb -clean-world"
},
"keywords": [
"BuckleScript"
],
"author": "",
"license": "MIT",
"devDependencies": {
"bs-platform": "^5.0.6"
}
}
As suggested, bs-package is namespaced so this should work
BsPackage.ModuleA.greet_me("name")
But the same error appears
unbound module BsPackage
Apparently the bug came from my bs-platform version. I've just switch from version 6.2.1 to version 7.0.1 and everything works fine now (I'm on Windows).
I am developing a module that I try to make as generic as possible (let's say BaseModule), and I want to extend it to feet my current purposes in another module (let's say ChildModule).
So ChildModule begins with:
require('BaseModule');
So I added BaseModule as a dependency of ChildModule. But when I want to use both of them on my real project, I cannot install both of them. Installing BaseModule removes ChildModule, and installing ChildModule moves BaseModule, in a way it is unreachable in my code afterward.
Both the module are on a git repository only (ie not published yet).
What is funny is that mongoose is also a dependency of ChildModule, and I don't have this issue. So I think I forgot something in BaseModule, but I don't know what...
It is a bit similar to this issue NPM dependencies shared by dependencies, which is supposed to be fixed on my NPM version (5.6). This issue is also similar, but as I said before I don't think it is a bug.
Is there any way to have nested dependency? If no, what is the standard way to do this kind of extension?
Here are the different package.json:
BaseModule's package.json
{
"name": "BaseModule",
"main": "index.js",
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+ssh://.../BaseModule.git"
},
"bundledDependencies": false,
}
ChildModule:
{
"name": "ChildModule",
"main": "index.js",
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+ssh://.../ChildModule.git"
},
"bundledDependencies": false,
"dependencies": {
"mongoose": "^4.13.9",
"BaseModule": ".../BaseModule"
}
}
and the project itself:
{
"name": "Project",
"dependencies": {
"mongoose": "^4.13.9",
"ChildModule": ".../ChildModule",
"BaseModule": ".../BaseModule",
"andALotMore": "*"
}
}
... stands for the correct address of my repositories.
I wanted to build a simple .net core MVC app with a single class library for data access, to get an idea of what it takes to build/deploy/run Core on Linux. Not nearly as simple as I had hoped!
EDIT: Here's a copy of the solution, if anyone is interested:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/kilonova-public/code/CoreCrossPlatform.zip
I threw together a VirtualBox VM w/ Ubuntu Server 16.04 and installed dotnet core per these instructions:
https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#ubuntu
I installed all the latest, necessary bits on the host (Win10) for VS 2015 and created a solution with an MVC app and single class library called "DataAccess". It's EF Core talking to MySQL using their latest core provider. It all runs flawlessly on the Win10 host when I run/debug it. Pulls up data and looks great.
"dotnet --version" on both the host and the VM gives me:
1.0.0-preview2-003121
However, when I deploy it to the Ubuntu VM, I get the following error on the class library dependency:
Project corecrossplatform (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0) will be compiled because the version or bitness of the CLI changed since the last build
Compiling corecrossplatform for .NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0
/opt/dotnet/corecrossplatform/project.json(24,23): error NU1002: The dependency DataAccess does not support framework .NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0.
Compilation failed.

Time elapsed 00:00:00.0187782
This happens whether I run "dotnet restore" or "dotnet run". To be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure I'm deploying this thing correctly. Documentation is spotty and I'm making some guesses. I copied everything from the project folder "src\CoreCrossPlatform" (contains bin, Program.cs, appsettings.json, etc.) onto the VM and this is where I'm executing the "dotnet" commands from, in the VM.
The DataAccess .json file:
{
"version": "1.0.0-*",
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore": "1.0.0",
"MySql.Data.Core": "7.0.4-IR-191",
"MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore": "7.0.4-IR-191",
"NETStandard.Library": "1.6.0"
},
"frameworks": {
"netstandard1.6": {
"imports": "dnxcore50"
}
}
}
The MVC project.json:
{
"dependencies": {

"version": "1.0.0",
"type": "platform"
},

]
},
"scripts": {

"postpublish": [ "dotnet publish-iis --publish-folder %publish:OutputPath% --framework %publish:FullTargetFramework%" ]
}
}
Something to note: When I run the sample project using "dotnet new" and restore, run vis the tutorial link above, it runs fine.
What am I missing? Another side question: What's the best way to publish this type of app to a Linux box? Am I even close on that part?
Thanks much.
EDIT: While kicking this dead horse all afternoon, I compared some notes I found online, related to this "NU1002" error, and the sample project "dotnet new" generates. I tried changing the "framework" section of both project.json files (MVC and classlib) to the following, with no success...same error:
"frameworks": {
"netcoreapp1.0": {
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
"type": "platform",
"version": "1.0.0"
}
},
"imports": [
"dnxcore50",
"dotnet5.6",
"portable-net45+win8"
]
}
}
EDIT: Much thanks to goaty: As he pointed out in the comments, copying over the entire solution and building it, results in a successful build. However, I cannot run it without an error. It doesn't seem to restore the MySQL EF Core dependency:
Project CoreCrossPlatformFlat (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0) will be compiled because the version or bitness of the CLI changed since the last build

The DataAccess library exists outside of your src/ directory. Therefore the web project could not find the reference.
I recommend this structure
src/
|---DataAccess/
|---CoreCrossPlatform/
Hope that helps :)
Use of the npm config section is simple, and cool, but I've run into one restriction with it: a config entry does not get expanded, so one cannot chain them, nor even access non-config values s.a. package version within the config.
Sample:
{
"name": "myproj",
"version": "0.1.2",
"//": "Here, '$npm_package_version' is not expanded",
"config": {
"target": "dist/myproj-$npm_package_version.js"
},
"scripts": {
"echo": "echo $npm_package_config_target",
}
}
This gives:
dist/myproj-$npm_package_version.js
instead of:
dist/myproj-0.1.2.js
Is there anything I can do about it? Chaining values like this is a useful feature - I'm surprised nom doesn't do it. Is there a reason not to?
References:
Node.js: How to setup different variables for prod and staging
How to use npm as a build tool
There's a few of ways this could be handled.
The simplest way is probably just to eval the string
{
"name": "myproj",
"version": "0.1.2",
"config": {
"target": "dist/myproj-$npm_package_version.js"
},
"scripts": {
"echo": "eval echo $npm_package_config_target"
}
}
If you're not comfortable with eval then you could either manually concat the string within the script:
{
"name": "myproj",
"version": "0.1.2",
"config": {
"target_prefix": "dist/myproj-",
"target_suffix": ".js"
},
"scripts": {
"echo": "echo $npm_package_config_target_prefix$npm_package_version$npm_package_config_target_suffix",
}
}
Or you could do away with using npms config and write a quick script instead, which can be composed with others:
{
"name": "myproj",
"version": "0.1.2",
"scripts": {
"config:target": "echo dist/myproj-$npm_package_version.js",
"echo": "echo $(npm run config:target)"
}
}
I have created a npm package, Here is the package.json:
{
"name": "docxgen",
"version": "1.0.5",
"author": "Hans Thunam <hans.thunam#gmail.com>",
"description": "A docX Generator",
"contributors": [
{
"name": "",
"email": ""
}
],
"bin":
{
"docxgen":"./docxgenNode/bin/docxgen"
},
"keywords": [
"DocX",
"templates",
"Generator"
],
"dependencies" : {
"xmldom" : "0.1.x"
},
"devDependencies": {
"jasmine-node":"1.10.x"
},
"license": "MIT",
"engines": {
"node": ">=0.8"
}
}
Then I did sudo npm install -g in the folder of package.json, the installation worked correctly (no error nor warnings).
Howewer, when I then try to execute docxgen file.docx file.json, I get the response: File or command not found. What is strange about this is that it works on Windows 7.
Is there anything different to do for Ubuntu ?
The issue was about the character encoding of the ./docxgenNode/bin/docxgen.
The shell system didn't read the first line correctly.
I started from an existing working binary file that can be found here: https://github.com/LearnBoost/stylus/blob/master/bin/stylus
