Possible Problems with sp-pnp-js packaging

[Nigel_Price9911]

I have been trying to get @SPDoctor's SiteInfo web part working with SPFx framework.  One of the dependencies is sp-pnp-js.  I get failures when I try and compile the webpart with gulp serve :-

'typings' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Anybody Ideas ??

Thanks

Hi

I finally got this to work by doing the following :-

npm install typings -g

which fixed the first problem and the I got "cannot find module  'sp-pnp-js'@ error

I tried npm install -g sp-pnp-js --save

That did not work.

But npm install --save sp-pnp-js did work !!

Regards

Hi,

In the worst scenario

npm cache clean
npm install typings -g
npm install sp-pnp-js --save
