Trying to build 2.6.1 fails on Bundling

[ericthompson]

Cloned down the project and jumped to the 2.6.1 release branch, and tried NPM installing and gulp/gulp watch but get this error:

This keeps you from being able to load and use the localhost docs 😢

I'll take a look at this.

I can't repro this from a fresh clone of 2.6.1 using Node 4.2.6 and npm 3.10.7. @ericthompson, did this error crop up on a fresh clone? What versions of Node/npm are you running?

[ericthompson]

Hmm - just did a fresh clone myself, npm i, and I'm still seeing the failure.

I ended up running Node v6.2.2 and npm 3.10.7 when I tried at first. I downgraded to the latest stable version of Node, v4.6.0, did a fresh clone, a jump to the new branch (without building with the old dependencies), npm i, and then gulp watch and it worked!

Let me leave this issue open while update the V2 documentation to reflect this process.

[Jahnp]

So wait--did the error still occur after downgrading to Node 4.6.0? Was this on a Mac or Windows? Chances are you won't be the only one to hit this issue--I'd like to repro so it can be fixed. It could be a configuration or syntax issue.

Or did downgrading solve the problem?

[ericthompson]

Sorry about the confusion - updated my comment. It did end up working once I downgraded, so I just submitted a PR to update the V2 docs to explain the need for this version of Node.

[Jahnp]

Gotcha. In that case, I'd rather take a crack at a patch rather than forcing users to snap to an older version of Node :) Let's update the docs in the short term, but I'll try to get a fix out today or tomorrow if possible.

[ericthompson]

Sounds good. Really looks like we should update some of these docs to explain how to view the localhost docs in a more primary way as this is the only way to see the live samples. I agree with you - let's get the updated docs in now to unblock folks now, and then get a patch in soon. Thanks for your help!

[Jahnp]

Totally agreed on both fronts. I'll try to get that patch out soon.

[ericthompson]

Fixed by this release - 2.6.2. I'll go in and revert my statement in the md file and we can call this closed 😄
