run populate command fails

[idkjs]

Nice example effort. Thank you.

There is no node_modules/babel/ folder after npm install. Run populate is trying to reference it.

Sorry for the delay, I have tried few installation in few Linux distribution and it works perfectly. Maybe it's a Mac issue.

npm install

@sayden What did you do to fix this? I'm having the same issue.

[sayden]

@Sburke0708 actually I mentioned that I don't have this issue, maybe it's because I'm not using a Mac computer and I don't have any to try

[Jaikant]

It worked seamlessly for me on a mac.

@AArmanD After running npm install, try running the following:
To populate:
> node .\node_modules\babel\bin\babel-node.js .\scripts\populationScript.es6
To run the server:
> node .\node_modules\babel\bin\babel-node.js .\server.es6

[idkjs]

@pmahmud Thanks. Started over. ran npm install. Then tried your populate script. Output below. I tried re-running with your read me instruction, got same error. So looks like its not being read, maybe? Tried to see if the .es6 extension is being read in babel-node but could not confirm. I am thinking that is it.

@AArmanD , it seems you are using unix, in that case try replacing the backslashes with slash like this:
> node ./node_modules/babel/bin/babel-node.js ./scripts/populationScript.es6
This assumes that you are in the graphql-mongodb-example folder and already ran npm install command and have babel-node.js inside the path: 'node_modules/babel/bin/'.
If you look closely at the error line:
Error: Cannot find module '/Users/klik/Projects/graphql-mongodb-example/.node_modulesbabelbinbabel-node.js'
This is not a valid path and I assume backslashes are the problem here:
/.node_modulesbabelbinbabel-node.js

[idkjs]

using mac, el capitan. If you look above \ failed so switched to / and it ran but gave the errors we are discussing.

[pmahmud]

@AArmanD There are other ways to solve this, but here is a naive one:
copy populationScript.es6 from scripts folder and paste inside node_modules/babel/bin/ folder and cd into it and then run:
> node ./babel-node.js ./populationScript.es6

[idkjs]

@pmahmud that didnt work. This is totally to figure out what is possibly causing this issue that no one else has so dont feel pressed. Im thinking that since your project doesnt have a .babelrc file in it, the options manager is erroring out when it doesnt find it. I know there are other ways to do set babelrc options so maybe this should not affect it. Definite side project to learn something to run this down.

[idkjs]

@pmahmud maybe has something to do with this. CrabDude/babel-node-debug#7. Lots has happened with babel since you build this.

[pmahmud]

@AArmanD, @sayden is the author. I am guessing that is not related. Your error log says it cannot find babel-node at your machine. Meaning maybe the path is wrong or it was not installed properly. It's a bit weird error I would say, but you could try installing babel globally and/or separately:

• npm install babel-cli -g
• npm install --save-dev babel-cli
• Also see here

[sudheerj]

I also got the same issue while running on windows machine.None of the solutions worked out.Any help is appreciated.

[sayden]

@sudheerj In the case of Windows is probably a problem of paths. Scripts that you can find in package.json are *nix like paths that use "/" for the tree.

Windows uses "" (backslashes) so those script must be rewritten to work in Windows machines.

I'm sorry but I don't have any windows platform on hand right now

[sudheerj]

Thanks Sayden.I installed babel plugins globally and changed the script paths as below.It worked fine after that.
"scripts": {
"start": "babel-node server.es6",
"populate": "babel-node scripts/populationScript.es6"
}
