Trouble with setting up program environment

I am currently having a problem setting up my dev environment. When setting up the database i get this error:


Any help would be appreciated

When restoring the database, add a --batchSize=100 argument to the mongorestore command, e.g.:

mongorestore --drop --batchSize=100

This is documented in the Mac dev setup wiki page, but it is applicable to Windows as well:

In version 3.0.7 of mongoDB is a bug in mongorestore. If you see an error like Failed: restore error: [some file name]: error restoring from dump/[some file name]: insertion error: EOF when running mongorestore, then try adding --batchSize=100 to the command. (try 1000, or 100, or even smaller) see here for a discussion on that

Thanks that fixed the problem.

I have another problem. When running npm run dev , I get 0 info it worked if it ends with ok

I have tried reinstalling codecombat and npm. I have also tried adding npm to the PATH.

Hm, there’s little info in that error message, but it seems related to spawning a child process. Here are a few things you can try:

  • Did you install the npm dependencies? If not, run npm install
  • I’ve recently fixed a dev server bug on Windows. Try pulling the master branch (git pull).
  • Try running npm run dev on the regular Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) instead of Git Bash.
