Fatal error: spawn ENOENT while running grunt

[tca...@gmail.com]

I am getting this error message while running grunt:

It looks like you're building the docs repo so probably better to file this issue over there

I think ENOENT is when there is a missing file or directory. Did you follow all of the setup steps in the docs repo?

Also, do you have the app engine SDK installed? https://cloud.google.com/appengine/downloads

Rob, yes I follow all the steps. The only difference is that I am using: /google-cloud-sdk/bin$ for the dev_appserver.sh.

Should I reinstall the SDK as proposed?

[Rob Dodson]

I'm not sure to be honest. It may be that you're just missing a directory in the docs setup... I guess you could start with reinstalling the SDK and making sure that works, then we can move on from there.

Rob,

I reinstalled the SDK but still getting the same error message. also cleaning up the docs directory and reinstallung does not help.

Running grunt -verbose shows from line 351:

1. Running tasks: jekyll:serve
2.  
3. Running "jekyll:serve" (jekyll) task
4. Verifying property jekyll.serve exists in config...OK
5. File: [no files]
6. Options: watch
7. Loading "compass.js" tasks...Fatal error: spawn ENOENT

you can see the whole log file here: http://pastebin.com/nPD8sn6J

any thoughts on how to fix this?

[Rob Dodson]

hm, what do you get when you run sass -v and compass -v...

Yeah, you can get this error when any of the required programs is missing. I've seen it before when I failed to install vulcanize globally. Try running each of the commands to make sure they're in your path:

jekyll

compass

sass

dev_appserver.py

If one of these fails, you have your culprit.

On Mac, when app engine updates, you need to re-run the app engine launcher to recreate the symbolic links. So if you can't find dev_appserver.py, that's could be your problem.

(Not sure what the fix is on other platforms; if you see this problem and you're on Windows or Linux, please let me know.)

Cheers,

Arthur

Guys, there is that tcafmi is using the java dev_appserver sdk instead of the Python version.

Replace your Java SDK with the Pyhton version and your are done!

[Rob Dodson]

nice!

ok I just updated the readme so it mentions the Python app engine sdk. Thanks for that!
