I'm trying to get the kotlin fullstack example to ...

I'm trying to get the kotlin fullstack example to run (cloned it from github). when I run gradlew build the task 'frontendwebpack-bundle' fails with "cannot find module '.../frontend/build/node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js'"
obvioulsy it fails because the webpack module is not located at that path. Do I need to add something to the build.gradle or am I missing something else?

^^^ @cy

[cy]

it looks like npm has failed, still can't find why it continues to run

[cy]

do you have npm installed? is it in the PATH?

[patrickdelconte]

yes. I also have webpack installed globally (and in PATH)

[cy]

does ./gradlew npm-install work?

[patrickdelconte]

yup

[cy]

what does it do? does it succeed or up-to-date?

[patrickdelconte]

up-to-date

[cy]

could you please try to do ./gradlew --debug clean bundle

[cy]

it will cause a lot of logs

[cy]

but may give us a tip

[patrickdelconte]

do you want me to post the logfile here?

[cy]

yes, please

[cy]

also look at build/logs/*

[patrickdelconte]

I'm also getting some additional output on the console

[cy]

is there build/package.json file ?

[cy]

does npm install in build dir work?

[patrickdelconte]

yes there is one in /frontend/build

[patrickdelconte]

npm install does not work in that directory
error is WARN build no description and also invalid name with the path to .../frontend

[cy]

warn about no description is not a problem

[cy]

what is it about invalid name?

[patrickdelconte]

npm WARN Invalid name: "C:\\Users\\pdcwi\\Documents\\IdeaProjects\\kotlin-fullstack-sample\\frontend\\build\\js\\frontend"

[cy]

it is still warning

[cy]

what ERR do you see?

[patrickdelconte]

none 🙈
sorry this probably means it completed but with some warnings right? I do not have much experience with npm

[cy]

Could you please try to change plugin version

from
org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-frontend-plugin:0.0.17

to
org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-frontend-plugin:0.0.19

[cy]

don't forget to do clean

[patrickdelconte]

it worked 🙂 thanks a lot
