在纱线全球添加generator-jhipster之后，你找不到jhipster

Question

I'm trying to generate a jHipster project using yarn - https://jhipster.github.io/installation/

I installed Node from its website and yarn with brew.

yarn version 0.19.1 node version v7.5.0 OSX Sierra 10.12.3

When I run yarn global add generator-jhipster , I could see jhispter generator being copied to /Users/{username}/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/

my-mac:~ user$ yarn global add generator-jhipster
yarn global v0.19.1
warning No license field

[3/4] 🔗  Linking dependencies...
[4/4] 📃  Building fresh packages...
warning undefined has no binaries
warning No license field
✨  Done in 30.68s.

As the next step, when I run yo jhipster , it cannot find jhipster. However, when I run yarn add generator-jhipster , yo can find jhipster from current folder. Not sure whats wrong with adding in global location.

my-mac:~ user$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:~/.composer/vendor/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/Cellar/node/7.5.0/bin:/Users/{user}/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin

Will appreciate any help in identify whats going on or if there is any issue with latest yarn version.

my-mac:~ user$ yo jhipster
Error jhipster

You don’t seem to have a generator with the name “jhipster” installed.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and the cause was my laziness. I did not took time to read the notes of Local installation with Yarn documentation:

Note: if you have problem to use these tools globally, be sure you have $HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin in your path.

On Mac or Linux: export PATH="$PATH:$(yarn global bin):$HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin"

Answer 2

要解决这个问题，我需要在全球范围内使用纱线安装yeoman。

yarn global add yo

Answer 3

I am using Ubuntu and I faced this issue too. Then I use sudo to add yo package

sudo yarn global add yo

Hope this will helpful to you.
