Error: Unknown adapter "mongo"

[kulakowka]

I tried to add a new database in the studio. After successfully creating a new database my config file became looks like this:

{
  "orm": {
    "adapters": {
      "disk": "sails-disk",
      "mongo": "sails-mongo"
    },
    "defaultConnection": "default",
    "connections": {
      "default": {
        "adapter": "disk",
        "filePath": ".tmp/",
        "fileName": "default.db",
        "migrate": "alter"
      },
      "permanent": {
        "adapter": "disk",
        "filePath": "./data/",
        "fileName": "permanent.db",
        "migrate": "alter"
      },
      "mymongo": {
        "adapter": "mongo",
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 27017,
        "user": "",
        "password": "",
        "database": "strapi"
      }
    }
  }
}

However, I found an error in the console. This is full listing:

Error: Unknown adapter "mongo" for connection `mymongo`.  You should double-check that the connection's `adapter` property matches the name of one of your adapters.  Or perhaps you forgot to include your "mongo" adapter when you called `waterline.initialize()`...

Should I install it manually from npm or it's a bug?

I just started to learn your framework and is not yet fully understood. 👍

Hey @kulakowka, we improved the installation process of adapters for the v1.5.0. It will be release tomorrow. We'll try your issue using v1.5.0 as soon as possible.

To correctly answer your question, we had a little issue with the callback of this function which was called to soon. We automatically install the MongoDB adapter for you. It should work simply by restarting your application if you are on v1.4.1.

When I tried to run the command npm install jade I got a lot of mistakes. These errors occur when I tried to install any package.

But when i copied all the files into a new folder and it worked.
Error with "sails-mongo" also disappeared.

strapi 1.4.1, Mac osx Yosemite 10.10.5.

I tried to run the commands with the sudo, but it has not given nor any effect.
I'll try to repeat it in the new version 1.5.0.
I hope there will not be these bugs.

[kulakowka]

In version 1.5 there are no errors.

I think it helped me:

$ sudo npm uninstall strapi -g
$ sudo npm cache clean
$ sudo npm install strapi -g

Perfect, thank you for your feedback @kulakowka.
