Hipster stack (Yeoman + Maven + Spring) Error

Question

When I tried to generate with yo jhipster on Windows 7 32 bits machine, I got the below error:

bower json3#~3.2.5 progress received 3.7MB of 4.9MB downloaded, 75% libjpeg-62.dll: downloading [===================] 100% 0.0s

? pre-build test failed, compiling from source...

d:\Self_jhipster\node_modules\grunt-contrib-imagemin\node_modules\jpegtran-bin\ lib\check.js:19 throw new Error('building is not supported on ' + process.platform);

                          ^ Error: building is not supported on win32

at d:\Self_jhipster\node_modules\grunt-contrib-imagemin\node_modules\jpegtran-bin\lib\check.js:19:10

How to solve this error?

Answer 1

I'm the author of http://jhipster.github.io/ which is the generator your are referring to.

I have found your problem, it is indeed a bug in jpegtran-bin. I have updated all the dependencies in Grunt.js, and it should now work fine on Windows.

This will be commited in the next release (0.2.1), which should be out in a few hours.

You can also submit a bug at https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues

Answer 2

After google with more correct keywords, the solution from https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-imagemin/issues/109 works for me.

1. In application's package.json, add "jpegtran-bin": "0.2.0" before the reference for imagemin,
2. Remove node_module folder locally.
3. Run npm install again.
