Hi, working on my first install of roots and I am getting an error when running grunt dev
Running "less:dev" (less) task
FileError: '../vendor/bootstrap/less/variables.less' wasn't found in assets/less/_bootstrap.less on line 8, column 1:
7 // Variables
8 @import "../vendor/bootstrap/less/variables";

Warning: Error compiling assets/less/main.less Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.Please delete the node_modules dir inside your theme, then run npm install again. Paste the entire results here.
Thanks for the quick reply… here are the results of my npm install

bower ENOTFOUND Package option not found
Also just noticed the comment about errors possibly occurring when installing as root user so I uninstalled and started over again from another user. But when I ran sudo npm install I get
sudo: npm: command not found
After some reading about this, does this mean I may have a problem with my node install itself?
Corrected my problem with
That allowed me to install bower not as root and as a result fixed my error upon using grunt dev.
I guess this leads me to wondering why when I run grunt dev I am getting missing assets since the theme is looking for all of the minified versions of my css & js? I was assuming this would be handled correctly when I added define(‘WP_ENV’, ‘development’); to my config file, but that doesn’t seem to work the way I was expecting.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for posting your solution @rydonahue
Yep. grunt dev is for your development environment, grunt build is for production, so if you’ve never generated a build using grunt build, your files don’t exists, which is why they’re missing. You’ve got to change the WP_ENV to dev if you want to see the results of grunt dev, hope that makes sense.
