Problems while running npm on Windows (PhantomJS crashed)

Hi BPMN.IO Community,

i would like to modify the BPMN-js Library an use it in one of my projects for the university.

Sadly i am fairly new to JavaScript and npm and i have run into trouble creating the library.
So far i have downloaded the prerequisites nodejs,npm, git and grunt. All of the are on the newest Patch Level.

After this i proceeded as written in the installation instructions on the git repository. (Also tried the automated setup.bat provided there)

Still i get the following Errors when running npm run all on bpmn-js and diagram-js.

For nodejs i tried the LTS and current version but with both of them produced the same result.
All steps were done on Win7 and Ubuntu to check for OS problems but both didn’t work.

Would be very nice if someone could help me cause i don’t know where i made a mistake.

Thank you very much in andvance.

Your log says executing grunt failed. What did it fail with?

11 silly lifecycle diagram-js@0.17.0~all: Args: [ ‘/d /s /c’, ‘grunt’ ]
12 silly lifecycle diagram-js@0.17.0~all: Returned: code: 3 signal: null

Hi nikku thank you very much for your help
here a screenshot from the result.

it looks like a component phantomjs crashed and could not be restarted.

Please try chrome instead of PhantomJS for running the test suite. The test failures (it says PhantomJS crashed) are due to a bug in WebKit as it seems.

To test the library with Chrome execute

TEST_BROWSERS=Chrome npm run all

Hi nikku

thx for the tipp, now chrome opens and grunt runs way longer but right at the end it aborts.
Looks like some coordinates are outside the expected range?
Any Idea what i can do?

Hey @bpmn4win,

Those are related to the type of font that you have in your operating system. No need to worry about it.

Cheers,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,

thx for your help.

I used the --force option to ignore the errors but the build still aborts.
Any Idea what I can change with my fonts to make it work?

Use node_modules/.bin/grunt --force.

grunt is the command that is run internally when you execute npm run all.

@ricardomatias @pedesen Seems like we should add a way to disable the text related specs or try to make them more robust across on different operating systems. Last time I checked tests were passing on Windows 7.

I added diagram-js#194 as a follow up ticket.

Hi everyone,

with the --force option the build finished and the thread can be closed.

Thank you for you help. Now on to the task of creating a prototype for my project…
