Yeoman error when running yo webapp

Question

Running the latest of npm and node and I've checked to make sure their ownership privileges are correct, any ideas?

TypeError: Cannot read property 'bold' of undefined

Answer 1

Had the same issue. What solved it for me was manually updating yeoman-generator. For this I edited package.json in /usr/lib/node_modules/generator-webapp/ and changed the version of yeoman-generator to 0.13.2 and ran npm install in the directory after that.

The git repository of generator-webapp is already using the latest yeoman-generator version but you have to wait for a new release I guess.
