Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect)

Description

[Wes Kocher (:KWierso) (Not reading bugmail; email directly if needed)]

I rebased to the current head of master branch and tried to run ./web-server.js


It immediately failed with:
$ ./web-server.js
module.js:338
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'minimist'

That bug added a dependency to package.json, which means `npm install` needs to be run again. There's no real way to automate this as far as I know. Similar to when working with Python, if you see an error about missing packages, if in doubt re-run `npm install` or `pip install -r ...` etc :-)

Yeah, sorry about that, I should have announced the change. Did so:

As Ed suggested, just re-run npm install and you should be good.
