missing "bozon" in devDependencies

See original GitHub issue

How to reproduce:

bozon new PROJECT (here under OSX)
transfer project to linux (here via git push/pull) except for the node_modules-subdir
npm install in the PROJECT’s dir
bozon start

That led to the error:

module.js:328
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'bozon/lib/tasks'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:326:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:277:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:354:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:12:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/DIR/PROJECT/gulpfile.js:1:63)
    at Module._compile (module.js:410:26)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:417:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:344:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:301:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:354:17)
Error launching app
Unable to find Electron app at [...]

Fix: in the file PROJECT/package.json add to devDependencies the following dependency: "bozon": "^0.7.1" and subsequently npm install

I found that as a solution since the module bozon/lib/tasks was in case of OSX found as PROJECT/node_modules/bozon/lib/tasks.js but missing in case of linux.

So “bozon” seems actually to be a missing devDependency.

HTH and kind regards, Thomas

Since bozon needs to be installed globally, use npm link bozon to link your global bozon into project directory.

bozon has been added as dev dependencies in v0.8.2
