Start throws exception

[ghost]

When starting wolkenkit-console the following exception is thrown. I also changed the current working directory to a Node project directory with a package.json and tried it again with the same result.

$ wolkenkit-console
C:\Users\Henning\AppData\Roaming\nvm\v8.9.1\node_modules\wolkenkit-console\node_modules\flaschenpost\dist\readPackageJson.js:16
    throw new Error('Could not find package.json.');
    ^
 
Error: Could not find package.json.

Hi @colorizedmind 😊

Thanks for bringing up this issue!

I tried to reproduce it, but on my machine everything works as expected. I fear that this is an issue related to Windows, so we will need to have a closer look at this.

Meanwhile, you may use https://console.wolkenkit.io as a workaround, which is a hosted version of the very same tool.

@grundhoeferj Can you please have a look at this, and try to reproduce this on Windows?

@goloroden @grundhoeferj Maybe the exception is related to this issue?

[goloroden]

Yes … now that you linked that issue I remember that we already had problems with this before on Windows. Maybe we need to come up with an alternative package, which does work even on Windows…

Hey @colorizedmind 😊

we have released a new version of wolkenkit-console. Please run the following command to update this module: npm install -g wolkenkit-console.
A short feedback would be nice 🤔
