degree9 / boot-nodejs Goto Github PK

Hello @flyboarder,
this is actually a problem that I already see will be difficult to solve cleanly in boot.

I am basically getting:

Figwheel: Can't start Figwheel!! Please make sure ws is installed
 do -> 'npm install ws'

With the following task:

(deftask dev
  "Launches the interactive environment"
  [p port PORT int "Set the repl port"]
  (let [port (or port 5055)]
    (comp (watch)
          (notify)
          (reload :client-opts {:debug true}) ;; boot-figreload task
          (cljs-repl :nrepl-opts {:port port})
          (cljs :source-map true :optimizations :none)
          (serve :script "app")))) ;; boot-nodejs task

This happens because the app.js file is launched from the boot cache and of course does not have the correspondent node_modules anywhere, neither in the folder, nor in the parent (which is the case when you actually execute a script from target).

The solution of copying node_modules to the boot cache is a scary one, so I leave this here open for discussion.

Hello @flyboarder!

I am looking into this for launching a nodejs script automatically when using boot-figreload with :target :nodejs. I was wondering if serve can actually launch a normal script and if so whether it is a good idea to rename it to something else like node or launch?

I am going to try anyway and sorry if this is more like a usage question!
