I followed the Vanilla instructions, with the Brunch skeleton checkout, but I am getting errors and a white screen.

The error I get is

Hipster.Socket = io.connect('http://localhost');
Uncaught ReferenceError: io is not defined 

I dug a little deeper and it seems that Socket.io is not installed or included. I added it to the package.json but it didnt help.

Where am I going wrong?

Just trying to do a clean install, running into an error. Disclaimer: I am a JS/brunch/Coffeescript newbie.

$ brunch w -s

        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Any ideas?

I am a brunch newbie but think this one is strange.

$ brunch b

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Does it think that /vendor/autoload.php is a directory that it should look for bower.json inside of? This has me a little amazed.

My config.coffee is:
exports.config =

I started with brunch new gh:GulinSS/brunch-bower-site .

Any help appreciated

Hi,

Here's my scenario :

1. install the skeletton with brunch new gh:elving/brunch-with-hipsters
2. launch the server with brunch watch --server
3. open http://localhost:3333/
   console shows "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'registerHelper' of undefined "

Looks like Handlebar is missing.

Regards,

You should consider using LiveScript instead.

After cloning and npm install and bower install and then brunch w -s I get the following.

Yes, handlebars-brunch has no node_modules directory.

Node version 6.5.0 (have tried downgrading with nvm) ...

This is probably really basic but I can't seem to find an example somewhere on how to render a .hbs template in app/views/templates

In the Hackerank app I see there is a .hbs template and I see a call to view.render() but when I just try to render a view with an external .hbs template nothing comes out.

In my index.html I have a div

And in my index.coffee I create the view
myview = new MyView()

The view class has the template member function defined like so
template: require 'views/templates/myview'

I also have an app/views/templates/myview.hbs with 'Hello world' in it but I must be missing something because it doesn't get inserted into index.html - what's the preferred way to get an external .hbs template to render in to index.html?

There's a new version already. Here's the change log.
