Unable to find electron app in repo dir about miniature HOT 15 CLOSED

Ok, I too had problems building dist last evening, but I have managed to fix problem. I'm going to push updates soon. Btw today we are going to release first version (alpha) of the product.

from miniature.

electron . didn't work until I ran (unsuccessfully) grunt linuxBuild. Here's the relevant part:

Aborted due to warnings.

I do not understand what is all that debian stuff as I'm running archlinux, but it's a fact that after this ^^ miniature started successfully.

And btw, I like the updated readme :) but you should reorder the steps: "Run electron" should go after grunt *Build.

Great! Finally closing this issue. Happy days!

Do you have electron installed globally?

from miniature.

Of course I do... If I didn't I wouldn't be able to run electron . anyway - I'd get "command not found" or something.

from miniature.

I completely forgot about this issue. @code-hunger can you check if it builds now? Try to build from master branch.

from miniature.

grunt linuxBuild runs fine; electron . still gives the same error:

Error launching app
Unable to find Electron app at /home/user/doremi
Cannot find module '/home/user/doremi

from miniature.

can you check if Run: /Path/To/Electron /Path/To/Miniature works for you?

from miniature.

I already posted this in my previous answer; sorry but I forgot to mention that I run electron . in the miniature folder so it's essentially the same as what you suggested.

from miniature.

@code-hunger can you try to build from latest master, please?

from miniature.

grunt linuxBuild says Done and exits successfully.

electron . still gives the same error, even after grunt linuxBuild. Using Electron v1.6.11.

I ran both commands after npm i.

from miniature.

In case of Min, "electron ." goes fine there?

from miniature.

Yes. Perhaps we have different node configurations which cause miss-generation of some package-files (I'm not very familiar with these tools)?

Here's the full contents of the repo folder, hopefully it'll give some hints:

css ext .gitignore icon.icns img js main .nvmrc package-lock.json pdfjs README.md
dist .git Gruntfile.js icons index.html LICENSE.txt node_modules package.json pages reader

@code-hunger
I just tried this on ubuntu 17.04:

$ npm install --save-dev electron
# Launch from inside your project's directory:
$ ./node_modules/.bin/electron .

It is from electron releases page.
And it works. Can you check if it works for you?

from miniature.

No... It's essentially the same, only difference is that electron was installed locally to the repo.

I'll try now git-clone anew, hope it'll work this time.
