error when npx torchlight init

[ivanawan]

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/ivan/project/node_modules/@torchlight-api/torchlight-cli/dist/stubs/config.js'

For some reason the stubs/config.js file is in src, when using yarn.

when using npm, this file is missing completely.

When using Yarn I get the same problem. I found the same as @martydingo , the config file lives in the src folder, not in list where it's expected

Stubs folder is also in src when using npm and npx torchlight init is therefore also broken.

Confirmed. Installed using yarn. npx init is searching for a stubs folder in dist. But thestubs folder is located in src.

Temporary solutions:

• in node_modules/torchlight-cli , move the stubs folder from src to dist, then run npx torchlight init
• or simply manually create a torchlight.config.js file in the root of your project directory. The file should simply have a single module.export = {}.
  • The object can be copied from the cli-docs (section: configuration, third code block)

Got this too. Solved it by using the following snippet (PowerShell on Windows):

New-Item -Path "$env:APPDATA\npm\node_modules\@torchlight-api\torchlight-cli\dist\stubs\" -Name config.js -ItemType File -Force

In Linux (shell), would be:

mkdir -p $HOME/project/node_modules/@torchlight-api/torchlight-cli/dist/stubs && touch $HOME/project/node_modules/@torchlight-api/torchlight-cli/dist/stubs/config.js
