comes from installation various packages, e.g. for
npm update -g yo
The only found advice to uninstall generator-karma
does not help - it re-installs back.
Any better explanation of why it happens and working solution?
You need to update all of your globally installed NPM packages. Run this command from your console:
npm update -g
This command will update all the packages listed to the latest version (specified by the tag config).
It will also install missing packages.
When you specify the -g flag, this command will update globally installed packages. If no package name is specified, all packages in the specified location (global or local) will be updated.
Try running npm uninstall -g generator-karma
I had a similar issue and I did this in terminal:
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma-*
and then updated the package.json
:
"devDependencies": {
"karma": "0.12.0",
...
}
then reinstall
sudo npm install karma
It worked for me
It fixed it by running this command, which installs the latest version from GitHub:
$ npm install -g git://github.com/iamblue/generator-angular-ui-router.git
i was able to install simply by:
npm install karma-generator
Guess it installs a later version of Karma. I was able to successfully install generator-angular after that. Was able to get coffeescript going as well after doing the above.
I had permissions issues with some of the directories under /usr/local/lib/node_modules. I must have installed some packages with sudo but most under my own user id. I solved this issue on a Mac with these commands:
sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
sudo chgrp -R admin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
