Error: Cannot find module 'needle'

If you are attempting to do an upgrade to Adapt Framework v2.0.6 and receive the error above you need to install needle. In a terminal window, before running node upgrade.js - run npm install needle then try running node upgrade.js.

Actually Mark, the dependency on needle was something which was introduced with the authoring tool v0.1.4.  The instructions to remove node_modules and run "npm install" were part of the change log:
https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#014---2015-11-25

You should always check the change log between upgrades as any manual steps will be detailed here.

Regards,

Brian

Hi Brian,

So, with what I did seemed to work. It this going to present an issue down the road or should it be fine?

Thanks!

Mark

Hi Mark,

There's a chance that other versions of Node modules are not what the code is expecting in v0.1.4.  To be on the safe side I'd recommend following the instructions in the change log.
