unable to install Truffle Webpack

[FugueWeb]

Issue

Not sure how actively Truffle Webpack starter is being maintained, but as it is referenced in the Truffle docs (and there is no issues tab available in the truffle-init-webpack repo) I thought I would post this here. I'm unable to successfully install or truffle compile the Webpack version of Truffle.

Steps to Reproduce

truffle init webpack

Actual Results

Downloading project... Installing dependencies... Error: Command failed: npm install babel-cli@^6.22.2 babel-core@^6.22.1 babel-eslint@^6.1.2 babel-loader@^6.2.10 babel-plugin-transform-runtime@^6.22.0 babel-preset-env@^1.1.8 babel-preset-es2015@^6.22.0 babel-register@^6.22.0 copy-webpack-plugin@^4.0.1 css-loader@^0.26.1 eslint@^3.14.0 eslint-config-standard@^6.0.0 eslint-plugin-babel@^4.0.0 eslint-plugin-mocha@^4.8.0 eslint-plugin-promise@^3.0.0 eslint-plugin-standard@^2.0.0 html-webpack-plugin@^2.28.0 json-loader@^0.5.4 style-loader@^0.13.1 truffle-contract@^1.1.6 web3@^0.18.2 webpack@^2.2.1 webpack-dev-server@^2.3.0

Note, installing Babel globally is specifically not encouraged in the Babel docs.

There also seems to no longer be a git file/repo for bignumber.js. I get this bignumber error also when trying to install truffle-default-builder.

npm ERR! git fetch -a origin (https://github.com/debris/bignumber.js.git) remote: Repository not found. npm ERR! git fetch -a origin (https://github.com/debris/bignumber.js.git) fatal: repository 'https://github.com/debris/bignumber.js.git/' not found

Environment

Truffle 3.2.8
Darwin 16.6.0
node v6.11.0
npm v3.10.10

The bignumber problem seems to be related to a few other issues

I am having the same problem. Prompted with GitHub login, and https://github.com/debris/bignumber.js cannot be found.

As a workaround, move to beta:
npm install -g truffle@beta

[kahwooi]

@beaini yes, I am using truffle@beta

[tsouza]

I can install with npm install -g truffle@beta but yet truffle init webpack fails with same issue

The same problem here. Installed truffle@beta, didn't help. testrpc doesn't install as well, but testrpc@beta worked well. How long do we need to wait for the fix?

I was able to get mine installed locally.

Here are the changes I made to fix all the broken dependencies, in the order they need to be applied:

• Fixed broken web3 dependency ganache-cli-archive#334
• Fixed broken web3 dependency raineorshine/solidity-sha3#6
• Updated broken web3js dependency truffle-blockchain-utils#4
• Fixed broken web3 dependency truffle-provider#3
• https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle-contract/pull/32
• Upgraded broken dependencies truffle-artifactor#53
• Fixed broken dependencies ethpm-registry#2
• Fixed broken truffle-provider dependency truffle-config#3
• Upgraded truffle-config dependency truffle-init#6
• Fixed broken web3 dependency truffle-deployer#3
• Fixed broken web3 dependency truffle-require#5
• Fixed broken web3 dependency truffle-migrate#2
• Upgrade broken dependencies truffle-compile#12

I used npm link to hook up the dependency fixes locally and was able to successfully install the patched version of truffle 3.2.5 from #460. But I ran into a bug in npm (npm/npm#10343) which blocked me from fully testing the fix.

Closing as duplicate. Using #485 to track. Thanks!
