Hi,

that's quite an old version of Grunt, could be worth trying a newer version?

Might also be worth looking to see what has downloaded to C:\AdaptLearning\adapt_authoring\temp\5cc079c87af0963c4cb14aa3\adapt_framework

It should contain the same files you see here https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/tree/v2.3.3

Thanks, I'll look at this, I thought I'd updated it, but I guess I was wrong.

Hi,

I've made the update : grunt-cli v1.2.0 and grunt v1.0.4

But nothing change, I still have the same error and all the files have been downloaded (and more). I ask myself if the problem isn't just to copy the folders out of the temp folder ?

Thanks.

Still trying to install it. Same error again and again.

I success to install grunt-cli 1.3.2 and grunt 1.0.4 (I removed the grunt files in my system32 folder) but the error remains.

As per my earlier comment:

Might also be worth looking to see what has downloaded to C:\AdaptLearning\adapt_authoring\temp\5cc079c87af0963c4cb14aa3\adapt_framework

It should contain the same files you see here https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/tree/v2.3.3

Have you done that? If so, what did you find there?

Have you checked that Grunt is in your path? Given that the error appears to be about 'illegal operation on directory' called 'grunt' I wonder if it's trying to launch grunt-the-application but instead trying to open the directory called grunt

The github files are in the folder, but there is more files ("node_modules" folder, acorn, adapt.json, cake, coffe, commonize, etc)

How do I check if Grunt is in the path ? If I test grunt --version in the path (C:\AdaptLearning\adapt_authoring), it returns grunt v.1.0.4 and grunt-cli v1.3.2. But if I test it in C:\ it returns only grunt-cli v0.1.13 (maybe the problem is there, because in the temp folder, I have grunt-cli v0.1.13 too, but also grunt v1.0.4).

I'll try to install grunt-cli in system32 folder to see what append.

Thanks.

Still fail, even if I try with Git bash :/

If I check the version of grunt everywhere, it's ok (cli 1.3.2 and grunt 1.0.4).

To be honest I'm pretty much out of ideas, I'm not exactly an expert on the authoring tool anyway.

Could it be worth trying this in a clean Virtual Machine in something like VirtualBox? Just so you know any oddities on your PCs configuration aren't getting in the way

I just tried the install myself in a Win7/IE11 VM (for VirtualBox) that I downloaded from modern.ie

I did have to do a bit of extra work getting MongoDB working since the VM is 32-bit windows - which isn't supported by the latest version of MongoDB. I had to use v3.2.2 and start it up from the command line.

Also for some reason had to add npm folder to my PATH in order to make grunt-cli available from the command line.

Other than those two things it all worked fine.

Hi, thank you very much for your time. I'm not at home this week-end, but I will look to this next week.

Hi,

I don't have much time these days.

If you still have the VM, could you please give me the version of the components you have installed (node, npm, grunt, etc) to check the difference with mines.

I'm downloading the VM win 10 from modern.io (didn't know) but 6 Go will take some times…

Thanks.

Thank you very much, I will check that as soon as possible ;)

I finally had some time to experiment (because I had of course some troubles to install the virtual machine).

On the vm everything is ok, so I will check the differences and retry to install it on my real machine (first of all, on the virtual machine, I have only installed grunt-cli globaly and no grunt).

Not much, still stuck with my error.

But, I don't know if its new or if I didn't notice before, but there is a previous error : "Error downloading the framework npm ERR! path c:\adapt_learning\temp\…\adapt_framework\grunt". But two line before the git was cloned successfully :/

Meanwhile I can try adapt in the VM, but the error is really annoying because everything seams identical :/
