Create add-on project

manosree · January 18, 2018, 7:46am

I am quite new to atlassian and jira. Just started my learning process, while I was looking to create and deploy a simple add-on using atlassian-connect-express tool I was stuck at installing dependencies for the project. A whole bunch of errors showed and all the dependencies were not downloaded. I followed instruction as per the document here
https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/atlassian-connect-express/overview

The npm-install command gives errors. And when I try to run node app.js command in the correct project directory it shows this error

C:\exprob\exprob>node app.js
module.js:538
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'atlassian-connect-express'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:536:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:466:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:579:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\exprob\exprob\app.js:13:10)
    at Module._compile (module.js:635:30)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:646:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:554:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:497:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:489:3)

Would be great if I could get some help. Thanks

Hi, @manosree. Please attach errors that npm install gives you. Error that you get when running node app is no quite helpful, because it’s consequences of installation.
Try this:

Try using yarn
If it doesn’t help → try to reinstall atlassian-connect-express (make sure it’s global)
If it doesn’t help → try to reinstall whole node
repeat once from 1

Also can you show your package.json?

I should have attached the errors shown during npm-install command. Looks like I’m not allowed to upload any attachments yet, I’m just copy/pasting the errors shown in my cmd propmt. Also I’ll follow your instructions and update you.

Thanks @alexter_pr.

Oh yeah, i faced same problem and same error. Yarn solved my problem. But you can also try to install python, because that something that gyp can’t find

manosree · January 18, 2018, 12:02pm

I tried installing python and set the environment variables, but still din’t work. I tried using yarn to get the dependencies, but it was giving the exact same errors. Do you have any other advice? @alexter_pr

manosree · January 18, 2018, 12:22pm

The add-on sever started. Before when I was using npm install the node app.js threw error, but using yarn started the server despite the errors. Thanks for the help

alexter_pr · January 18, 2018, 12:29pm

Well that’s odd
Anyway i would try to reinstall node, make sure i’m using x64 OS, because i saw somewhere that sqlite3 is not building from sources if it’s x32 system and it fails then, also installing python and making sure it’s in the PATH and works, since npm tries to build sqlite with python or something.
Also i would go straight to posgres

Hello @alexter_pr , I tried using yarn. Even that gives the same error for me. I did try to reinstall ACE and node, but it did not help. I also installed python but no help either. I have attached the snapshot of the error. Could you please help me out?

Many thanks in advance!
