resume-cli: Kwan theme cannot be used

I’ve installed the Kwan theme and tried to use it. Here’s the output.

> npm install -g jsonresume-theme-kwan
/usr/local/lib
└── jsonresume-theme-kwan@0.0.2 

> resume export --theme kwan resume.html

  running validation tests on resume.json ... 

  ✓ Passed all validation tests. 

To publish your resume at http://jsonresume.org type the command resume publish
You have to install this theme globally to use it e.g. `npm install -g jsonresume-theme-kwan`

The theme cannot be found although it was just installed. Export still works fine with other themes e.g. Stackoverflow.

I had the same problem, and me work-around was to make it all locally

npm init --yes
npm install resume-cli jsonresume-theme-kwan 
node node_modules/resume-cli export --theme=kwan index.html```

Hi, I met the same issue, and I can not install the phantomjs-prebuilt globally, too.

Then I tried to run:

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/resume-cli
npm install phantomjs-prebuilt

Just install the phantomjs-prebuilt in the resume-cli, and it works well 😃

@jphellemons, to make it work I had to install resume locally and run it locally:

# npm install resume-cli
# npm install jsonresume-theme-foobar
# node node_modules/resume-cli export --theme=foobar resume.html -r `pwd`/resume.json

pay attention to the -r `pwd`/resume.json because in my case it was not able to find the resume.json file.

I’m running on a Mac with OS 10.14, npm 6.9.0 and node v9.11.1.

Hope this helps

i ran into this same issue with the jsonresume-stackoverflow theme. the issue is resume is expecting the devDepencies from these themes to be installed. if you install all of the devDepencies at https://github.com/icoloma/jsonresume-theme-kwan/blob/master/package.json#L27-L34 by hand it will work.

@davidevernizzi you are my hero. Worked like a charm after spending almost an hour in vain.

Edit this file in your local resume-cli npm installation. https://github.com/jsonresume/resume-cli/blob/master/lib/export-resume/index.js

Right before this line (70):

console.log('You have to install this theme globally to use it e.g. `npm install -g ' + theme + '`')

Add this: console.log(err)

Save the file and run the your export again. It will now show you the cause of the error instead of giving a default global install message.

My issue was a missing underscore.string package so I ran npm install -g underscore.string and everything worked after that.
