Overview of the issue

After the upgrade to 4.5.0 and using jhipster (cli) I ge the following error:

I'm on a OSX 10.12.5.

[ecukalla]

I think I've wrongly reported it :|.

When checking the link to jhipster cli I get this:

➜  ~ ls -l `which jhipster`
lrwxr-xr-x  1 edmond  staff  59 May 20 00:50 /Users/edmond/.npm-packages/bin/jhipster -> ../../Documents/dev/java/    generator-jhipster/cli/jhipster.js
➜  ~ cd Documents/dev/java/generator-jhipster 
➜  generator-jhipster git:(master) yarn unlink
yarn unlink v0.24.5
success Unregistered "generator-jhipster".
✨  Done in 0.10s.
➜  generator-jhipster git:(master)

... was testing yesterday the current master branch & I'd linked to it. Now that I did the yarn unlink I can't get jhispter cli.
I also did yarn global remove & yarn global add generator-jhipster and still dont get a jhipster cli (jhipster).

Can you please advice how to fix it.
Thanks.

It seems there are also issues with jhipster cli on Windows: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44083065/jhipster-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command-operable-program

[ecukalla]

The jhipster cli is having the issue, while on osx i can still run yo jhipster with success:
➜ ~ mkdir yoworks
➜ ~ cd yoworks
➜ yoworks yo jhipster

Version 4.4.1 works good

[jdubois]

Many thanks @ecukalla @mystdeim -> if anybody has any more issue, please add them here!!

• First of all, we are very sorry about it: it works perfectly fine in "dev mode" (using our development setup here). So it's one of those cases where NPM/Yarn do not work the same in dev and in a package...
• It looks like @pascalgrimaud found a solution, see the dev mailing list
• It seems different depending on the OS, and if you use NPM/Yarn, so that does a lot of combinations.
• What is just crazy is that our Docker build works, so there's an installation trick somewhere, but we didn't do it on purpose
• Of course v4.1.1 still works - if we don't find an easy solution over the week-end, we'll revert to the older version

[mystdeim]

My extra points: I refused to use yarn because there's some weird issues on ubuntu while simultaneously using npm and yarn. Just npm install [email protected] and it works )

[pascalgrimaud]

I find time to made some more tests.

@jdubois :

• on your local, test npm pack: it will create a new file generator-jhipster-4.5.0.tgz. This tgz is probably what is upload to NPM repo and doesn't contain the cli folder
• now, if you modify the package.json for including cli folder then test npm pack again. This generator-jhipster-4.5.0.tgz contains what we want. I will do a PR for that!

[pascalgrimaud]

About the Docker build, what it is done:

• add source from repo: https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/master/Dockerfile#L50
• then install from this source: https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/master/Dockerfile#L63
• so the installation contains the cli folder
• it's similar in dev, as Docker doesn't use the release from NPM repo, but the repo from GitHub

It is done to have for the same Dockerfile:

• a Docker image 'master' which is always up-to-date with master
• a Docker image for every release/tag

[pascalgrimaud]

@mystdeim : understood about refusing to use Yarn. That's why we still support both: NPM and Yarn.
Did you see this tweet about NPM5? https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/865393382260056064 :-)

[jdubois]

Thanks a lot @pascalgrimaud !!! This looks like you solve the issue, so I'm closing this - I'll do some quick tests, and a release

Thanks @miy4mori
Unfortunately I think the only way to test the fix is to do a release, so I'm doing one ASAP

[jdubois]

And @miy4mori as you are on Windows, can you test the new release when it's ready, and tell us if everything is fine?

[deepu105]

Thanks a lot guys. Sorry I wasn't available to help

[jdubois]

The release is done!
Crossing fingers :-)

Don't be sorry @deepu105 and no worry!
Enjoy your weekend in :es: !

[jdubois]

Everything looks OK, thank you so much everyone!!!!!

[miy4mori]

@jdubois Sorry,I did not notice the notification. the new release worked very well on Windows.
But I can't import jdl without client files,I try to run jhipster server import-jdl my_file.jdl or jhipster --skip-client import-jdl my_file.jdl and it still generate client files.Does anyone have any ideas how can I import jdl without client files?

[jdubois]

@miy4mori not sure about this (I never skip the client!), but I think this comes from your initial config: if it's stored in your .yo-rc.json, then it can't be overriden (unless you modify this file, of course!)

[deepu105]

You cannot unless you already generate the app with skip-client. I need to
check further to see if we can make this a supported option

Thanks & Regards,
Deepu

@jdubois @deepu105
I think the problem is .yo-rc.json.

generator-jhipster/generators/import-jdl/index.js line 52

   this.skipClient = this.config.get('skipClient');

But jhipster server not add skipClient into .yo-rc.json,When I add this item, it worked and not generate client files.
