JSPM not creating js file in root directory

Overview

I'm trying to install the bootstrap-wysiwyg package in my ES6 project using JSPM.

Usually you can just install a package using the command

jspm install npm:bootstrap-wysiwyg

And JSPM will take care of the config.js file and create the entry JS file in the jspm_packages folder.

My problem

For this particular package, it does create the config.js entry to the bootstrap-wysiwyg JS file in the root directory, but it does not create that JS file itself.

Files

Config.js

"bootstrap-wysiwyg": "npm:[email protected]",

Import

import stuff from 'bootstrap-wysiwyg';

Error message

GET http://localhost:9000/jspm_packages/npm/[email protected] 404 (Not Found)

Question

How can I make sure JSPM creates that file? I could make one myself, but then version control is obviously broken.

Solution

  • The module your are trying to import is missing "main" entry in its package.json: https://github.com/steveathon/bootstrap-wysiwyg/blob/master/package.json Therefore, JSPM cannot create the main import. You have to either import files directly from the module (i.e. import stuff from 'bootstrap-wysiwyg/js/smth') or create an override for this package which will define "main" for the package (https://github.com/jspm/registry/wiki/Configuring-Packages-for-jspm#testing-configuration).
