Fails on start - major updates/overhaul needed...

kmandrup:private $ yo sails

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/generator-sails/app/index.js:44
--------.' + '\n   `---------´  |    ' + 'Welcome to Yeoman,'.yellow.bold + '
                                                                    ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'bold' of undefined
    at Appgenerator.askFor (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/generator-sails/app/index.js:44:178)

Fix was to add the following to `app/index.js``

var colors = require('colors');

and install colors node package

$ npm install colors -g
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/colors
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/colors
colors@0.6.2 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/colors

Now I get a new error:

Would you like to include Twitter Bootstrap for Sass? Y
Would you like to include RequireJS (for AMD support)? Y

/Users/kmandrup/private/yeoman-genrators/generator-sails/app/index.js:87
        this.compassBootstrap = props.compassBootstrap;
                                     ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'compassBootstrap' of null
    at Appgenerator.<anonymous> (/Users/kmandrup/private/yeoman-genrators/generator-sails/app/index.js:87:38)

Fix is to update dependencies

// package.json

  "dependencies": {
    "yeoman-generator": "~0.13.4",
    "cheerio": "~0.12.3"
  },
  "peerDependencies": {
    "generator-mocha": "~0.1.1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "mocha": "~1.13.0"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=0.10.0"
  },

npm update

Also had to update the _packages.json template file to reflect latest project versions ;)

Now it finally gets through, but still some warnings about unmet dependencies... maybe I just need to run it again from a clean start?

Ah, setting "grunt-contrib-clean": "~0.4.1", should do the trick to remove this warning ;)
Cheers!
