Followed the instructions for building and running tests but tests fail

Specifically:

• Clone the repository
• Run npm install
• Run grunt to compile the CoffeeScript code
• Run npm test to run the specs

Output is:

$ npm test

> atom-package-manager@0.96.0 test /Volumes/Data/Users/Lee/Source/apm
> grunt test

Ideas?

What version of node are you using?

[lee-dohm]

$ npm --version
1.4.9
$ node --version
v0.10.28

I suppose this isn't the same as I should be running?

[kevinsawicki]

No, that version looks good for both, I'm on npm 1.4.4 and node 0.10.32 which is pretty similar.

I just thought this was some old node 0.11 problem, and after some googling, it looks like it was, Level/levelup#240

Did you ever build apm before using node 0.11? Does removing node_modules and rebuilding get you any further?

[lee-dohm]

I thought it was a brand new clone, but yes ... I just wiped the node_modules directory and reran the build and the tests pass now. Thanks!

As part of my planned pull requests, I'll submit another one that adds this tidbit of troubleshooting to the build part of the README.
