Gulp Error: cannot find module 'jshint / src / cli'

Question

So, I have a new installation of El Capitan, and again I give these runners tasks.

I follow the sitepoint Introduction to Gulp.js , but I am stuck in the fourth step, when I try to run gulp jshint , I get " Error: Cannot find module 'jshint/src/cli' "

I do not know what causes this, so I ask here. Below are a few screenshots to help solve this problem.

As always, I am infinitely grateful for any advice.

Answer 1

You need to install jshint to solve the problem.

 > npm install --save-dev jshint gulp-jshint 

Answer 2

Turns out I need to use npm install --save-dev jshint gulp-jshint instead of npm install gulp-jshint --save-dev as described in the tutorial. A discussion of this was found at https://github.com/spalger/gulp-jshint/issues/131 with many thanks to @ user3042437 for providing the link.

Answer 3

Sometimes the order of phrasing matters. I found out that this npm install --save-dev jshint gulp-jshint does not work, but this npm install jshint gulp-jshint --save works

Answer 4

Here you are targeting jshint , which you probably haven't installed. (You do this in gulp.task('jshint', function() { .)

Try the following:

 gulp.task('gulp-jshint', function() { 

This is consistent with what you require d.

 var jshint = require('gulp-jshint');
