Ignite: Ignite not able to generate components any longer?

[chapeljuice]

When I run ignite g it gives me a list of generators such as 'component', 'container', etc., but the descriptions are gone and they say 'missing'. See screenshot below:

Any idea what's going on?

I should also add that when I actually try to generate a component like so:

ignite g component NewComponent

Nothing happens. The terminal just gives me a new prompt.

[ruddell]

What you described happens if you don't have the node dependencies installed. Try running yarn or npm install and then generating the component. Also make sure ignite-ir-boilerplate is in your package.json under devDependencies

[chapeljuice]

Thanks for your response!

So I ran npm install and double checked my devDependencies. I have:

    "ignite-animatable": "^1.0.0",
    "ignite-dev-screens": "^2.2.0",
    "ignite-i18n": "^1.1.1",
    "ignite-ir-boilerplate": "^2.3.1",
    "ignite-vector-icons": "^1.1.0",

...but it's still behaving the same way.

Any other thoughts?

[skellock]

Try running with ignite g component OmgWorkPlz --debug... it'll be more chatty which might reveals some clues (like an out of date yarn or node_modules living in the ~ directory.

[chapeljuice]

@skellock no such luck :(

[tastycode]

Does ignite g component OmgWorkPlz --debug --wtf return anything (https://github.com/infinitered/ignite/blob/4e8b4a4ef441ceebebc5d85406a9c24c29784cb1/src/cli/cli.js#L51)? What's the exit code echo $?

[LuisUrrutia]

I have the same problem:

[GantMan]

eek. Can you find your global node modules and then identify if you have those generator files in your install? Are they missing or is ignite not able to find them, is the question.

[LuisUrrutia]

First things first, I cloned ir-boilerplate and used this clone as my boilerplate.
ignite new Bla -b /path/on/my/system
So I think that there is a problem there. I did this 'cause the latest version of that repo, has the fix for react-navigator >= beta.28, but when i tried to install like:
ignite new Bla
It didn't get the latest version of that package.

UPDATE

I changed ignite-ir-boilerplate in my package.json from:

"ignite-ir-boilerplate": "file:/path/in/my/system"

to:

"ignite-ir-boilerplate": "git+https://github.com/infinitered/ignite-ir-boilerplate.git"

And everything started to work as usual

@LuisUrrutia
How did you do it?

Whenever I try to generate a new screen I got the following error.

[LuisUrrutia]

@ericklarac is ignite-ir-boilerplate in your package.json?
Have you created your base with a cloned version of ignite-ir-boilerplate?

[ericklarac]

Yes it is, and I changed it as your example but not working :(

[LuisUrrutia]

Did you run yarn or npm install after?

[ericklarac]

Yes, and react-native link

[imcodingideas]

I'm having the same issue, and added the
"ignite-ir-boilerplate": "git+https://github.com/infinitered/ignite-ir-boilerplate.git"

and react-native link

ignite generate listview TextablesScreen

? What coding style do you want for your list? Listview (classic)
? What kind of List would you like to generate? Grid
? How will your data be presented on this list? Sectioned
✔︎ App/Containers/View.js
✔︎ App/Containers/Styles/ViewStyle.js

It's creating the name View, not TextablesScreen and it's breaking saying View.

[ericklarac]

@imcodingideas A quick solution could be to rename it like:

import { View as MyView } from '....'

And then you could use the component as

<MyView _props_ />

[akhil-geekyants]

Facing similar issue. How to fix this ?

[ericklarac]

@akhil-geekyants @LuisUrrutia @chapeljuice
The solution is adding the generators to the _ignite/ignite.json_

{
  "createdWith": "2.0.0",
  "examples": "classic",
  "navigation": "react-navigation",
  "askToOverride": true,
  "generators": {
    "component": "ignite-ir-boilerplate",
    "container": "ignite-ir-boilerplate",
    "listview": "ignite-ir-boilerplate",
    "list": "ignite-ir-boilerplate",
    "redux": "ignite-ir-boilerplate",
    "saga": "ignite-ir-boilerplate",
    "screen": "ignite-ir-boilerplate"
  }
}

[skellock]

Thanks @ericklarac

[shiverysea]

The solution for v2.1.1 is adding the generators to the ignite/ignite.json, as shown below ( when using andross ).

{
  "createdWith": "2.1.1",
  "examples": "classic",
  "navigation": "react-navigation",
  "askToOverwrite": true,
  "generators": {
    "component": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-andross",
    "container": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-andross",
    "listview": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-andross",
    "list": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-andross",
    "redux": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-andross",
    "saga": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-andross",
    "screen": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-andross"
  }
}

[James-deWitt]

I'm having this issue with v2.2.4" after downgrading from v3.1.1 due to https://github.com/infinitered/ignite/issues/1394

Adding the generators like on the previous solution for v2.1.1 did not work (assuming I should substitute ignite-ir-boilerplate-bowser for ignite-ir-boilerplate-andross)

{
  "createdWith": "2.2.4",
  "boilerplate": "ignite-bowser",
  "examples": "classic",
  "navigation": "react-navigation",
  "askToOverwrite": true,
  "generators": {
    "component": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-bowser",
    "model": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-bowser",
    "screen": "ignite-ir-boilerplate-bowser",
    "map": "ignite-maps",
    "map-utilities": "ignite-maps",
    "map-callout": "ignite-maps"
  },
  "boilerplateVersion": "4.1.1"
}

[jamonholmgren]

We did rename ignite-ir-boilerplate-bowser to ignite-bowser, so maybe try that, @James-deWitt ?

EDIT: Never mind, saw your follow-up on the other issue.
