Problem running basic tests with Buster.js version 0.4.6 beta2

to Buster.JS

I'm running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.3) and in the past have been able to
use Buster.Js with the following test code, but since upgrading to
version 0.4.6 beta 2 buster has stopped working. I spoke with @cjno
who suggested I uninstall it and re-install from fresh (which I did)
and that didn't resolve the issue.

My test structure is:

* example.js
* index.html
*/test/
* buster.js
* example-test.js

I `cd` into the /test/ folder and execute the command `buster server`
(where I then open up the relevant browsers and 'capture' them).

I then go back to the terminal and execute (in a new tab) the command
`buster test` and from there nothing happens.

After a few moments I get `Chrome 17.0.963.79 OS X: ` displayed but
nothing else. Seems like the tests just don't run.

The full code can be found here: https://gist.github.com/2030311
(along with another explanation of the issue).

I've had this code running in the past, so I know there is nothing
wrong from that end - it's the upgrade that has caused the tests to no
longer run.

Any ideas about what the problem might be and how to fix it would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

It Works For Me (tm). I cloned the repo, made a test dir, and put buster.js and example-test.js in it. This is the output I got:

    coldcache ~/s/gist-2030311 % buster test
    Chrome 17.0.963.56 Linux: .E

    Deferred: Chrome 17.0.963.56 Linux My test module A test that I want to comment out for a while but not hide from the test results

    Error: Chrome 17.0.963.56 Linux My test module A bad test (as it tests random stuff when it should test specific functionality)

How do you install buster? And how did you do the uninstall and reinstall? Do you have a node_modules with buster in it in your project?

Works for me also.

Does running it via `buster static` work?

I un-installed it using `npm uninstall -g buster` and re-installed it using `npm install -g buster`.

I've just tried un-installing again and it wouldn't let me without using `sudo` (I think this may have happened the last time as well).

The initial data it has fed back when trying to uninstall without `sudo` is...

    npm ERR! Error: EACCES, permission denied '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/buster/build'
    npm ERR!
    npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.

...but after using `sudo` it doesn't display anything which usually means it has executed no problem, and if I execute `buster -v` or just `buster` I get `-bash: buster: command not found` so it looks un-installed to me.

I now execute `npm install -g buster` and I get the following data fed back...

...now if I go back to the /test/ folder within the site structure I had (where I've got buster.js and my example-test.js file) and execute `buster server` and capture my current browser (latest Firefox) and then execute (in a new tab) `buster test` I straight away see `Firefox 11.0 OS X: ` and nothing else. The terminal just sits and doesn't display anything.

Maybe something in the data I've listed above might indicate why it's not working.

Thanks for the very detailed feedback. I noticed this behaviour on macs earlier. If you're not consistent with your use of sudo, npm will stop working, basically. I personally never have this problem either on Linux or OS X, since I compile my own node and put it in ~/local, and never use sudo. I think it's common for OS X peeps to chown /usr/local to your own user so perhaps you can do that. Or just make sure you use sudo at all times if you don't. I don't think I can give you any better advice than that unfortunately, other than mentioning that the installer will fix this problem when it eventually comes around.

That's fine, I'm happy to wait for the installer to resolve this issue - I wouldn't want to go and `chown` that /usr/local again as I had to do that previously with a dodgy homebrew install - so probably safer for me to leave it for the installer!

Any ideas (I know "finger in the air" time) on when the installer is likely to see the light of day?

Ta,
