0.17.0-beta.28 dl-loader TypeError (windows 10)

[pocesar]

Using jspm@beta, I'm having a problem (on Windows 10) when using jspm dl-loader

$ jspm dl-loader

err  TypeError: token.match is not a function
    at isGithubToken (C:\nodejs\node_modules\jspm\node_modules\jspm-github\github.js:81:16)
    at Object.GithubLocation (C:\nodejs\node_modules\jspm\node_modules\jspm-github\github.js:104:9)

then I tried to see the current config

$ jspm config

when I tried to do a cat ~/.jspm/config it obviously doesn't work in windows, although I manually created the .jspm folder in F:\Users\Paulo\.jspm, it doesn't seem to be accessing the folder, nor creating any files. the folder permissions are fine. but I don't know where it's placing the config file.

Any chance you could add a console.log to C:\nodejs\node_modules\jspm\node_modules\jspm-github\github.js:81:16 to see what the value of auth is.

found where it's writing the file: F:\Users\Paulo\AppData\Local\.jspm, so it seems it's not ~/.jspm on windows.

after I set the registry, I'm not getting the error anymore. not sure if relevant, but the github-cache folder is empty

auth var is showing the github token since then.

it seems that upgrading windows 10 to the "anniversary edition" wiped out the jspm config files, not sure. should I go ahead and try to delete the config file?

[guybedford]

@pocesar that sounds like it might fix the problem then. If you're able to clarify what state change exactly you think caused the issue that would be interesting to hear if there is anything we can do.

[pocesar]

@guybedford usually big windows updates messes with folder structure, file configurations, rename windows folder to windows.old, and so forth. symlinks also suffered, had some broken node_modules that were linked after the update, had to change my node_modules folder location.

I don't think it's a problem with JSPM, although looked like it at first. maybe check if the file actually exists, and emit an error in case it doesn't, when doing something that will try to lookup the github token from the file (showing the actual config file path for easier of inspection, and not assuming ~/.jspm/config)

@pocesar thanks for the update.
