[dba-Tech] Bad karma - a kind of punning, but not only - I have got an issue with nodejs' karma module while installing gulp...

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Shamil:

Sounds like a developer screw up...unfortunately not that uncommon. A patch should be out soon. ;-)

When it comes to doing website development, I am lazy. I can see someone spending an exorbitant amount of time on the BE but the FE.... To cut corners and give me easy access to all presentation libraries for fancy front ends, I prefer a good framework where all the necessary features are already linked or can be...more fonts, fancy screen transitions, graphic managers, AJAX libraries, JSON libraries, responsive/adaptive design css (for multi-screen sizes), gesture library and so on...then there are extensive deployment libraries. It is also completely modifiable as new and better features come along. A framework or scaffolding tool that I have been working on Yeoman (http://yeoman.io).

I have just started to use it with the visual studio code editor and am totally impressed...Yeoman is massive, has years of standardisation, best practices, best methods, best products built-in and it will likely take years to master. A lot of the best developer shops around use this product extensively (Microsoft or otherwise...it is totally generic); so if they are recommending it, that's good enough for me.

Hi All --
Following TypeScript course I have tried to install gulp but I have got setup error messages after running simple command line 'npm install gulp -g' . To solve the issue I have just decided to reinstall nodejs completely, I have done this reinstall, I have watched that all nodejs setup files were deleted by MS Windows "Programs and Features" uninstall program functionality, then I have installed nodejs back using the most recent setup I have got downloaded from nodejs.org.
But after running with a fresh nodejs setup a command line
npm install gulp -g
I have got the setup errors again - the text of errors are in the P.S. of this message. It looks like errors are caused by some out-of-date nodejs modules I have previously installed on my system in
C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
directory. The contents of this directory are the following:
03/30/2014 11:21 AM <DIR> cloudnode-cli
03/06/2014 11:10 PM <DIR> express
01/16/2014 08:04 PM <DIR> grunt-cli
06/02/2015 08:55 PM <DIR> gulp
06/02/2015 08:44 PM <DIR> jasmine-core
06/02/2015 08:43 PM <DIR> karma
06/02/2015 08:45 PM <DIR> karma-jasmine
06/11/2013 10:39 PM <DIR> karma-ng-scenario
06/11/2013 10:42 PM <DIR> karma-requirejs
06/11/2013 10:36 PM <DIR> phantomjs
"bad karma" is here AFAIS. I'd like to make it "good" preserving the set of existing modules. 
What is the quickest way to do that?
What are general nodejs community recommendations to repair nodejs modules' broken dependencies?
Thank you.
