patternlab-node: Pattern Lab Reports Missing Patterns in Console

I am using Pattern Lab Node v2.6.2 on Windows | Mac | Linux, with Node v7.4.0, using the Gulp Edition.

Expected Behavior

Although on the frontend there is no issues, I am getting this message in my gulp output:

Could not find pattern referenced with partial syntax molecules-cta. This can occur when a pattern was renamed, moved, or no longer exists but it still called within a different template somewhere.

Now I call molecules-cta in this file source/_patterns/molecules/00-banners/banner.mustache

<div class="c-banner__wrapper">

  {{# text }}

    <div class="c-banner__text">

      <div class="c-banner__text--inner">

        // content

        <div class="o-actions">
        
          <div class="o-actions__inner">
            {{# cta }}
              {{> molecules-cta }}
            {{/ cta }}
          </div>

        </div>

      </div>

    </div>

  {{/ text }}

</div>

</div>

I have a similar call in another file source/_patterns/molecules/00-banners/banner-image.mustache

When I remove this from the 1st file:

{{# cta }} {{> molecules-cta }} {{/ cta }}

I no longer see an error looking for that file, so I copied the code exactly from the banner-image.mustache file into the banner.mustache file, but it made no difference, I got the error again.

This has stumped me. Let me know if anymore information is required.

Can confirm that @jabas analysis seems to be correct. We have the same issue with our PatternLab and resorting the patterns fixes the warnings.

I have this problem and ignored it for a long time because everything was generated correctly in spite of the errors and warnings (). I upgraded to patternlab-node v2.10.0 (after taking the advice from #687) today and still had the same problem but noticed then when I remove the whitespace between the pattern name and the parameters, the errors and warnings disappear.

My structure is as follows:

_patterns/
- 00-atoms/
  - button.mustache
- 01-molecules/
  - button-list.mustache

With the files as follows:

button.mustache <button>{{ buttonContent }}{{^ buttonContent }}button{{/ buttonContent }}</button>

button-list.mustache <ul><li>{{> atoms-button ("buttonContent": "foo") }}</li></ul>

This code generates the following errors:

Could not find pattern referenced with partial syntax atoms-button . This can occur when a pattern was renamed, moved, or no longer exists but it still called within a different template somewhere.

JSON provided by partial pattern atoms-button is invalid and cannot be copied

Could not find pattern referenced with partial syntax atoms-button . This can occur when a pattern was renamed, moved, or no longer exists but it still called within a different template somewhere.

When I change button-list.mustache by eliminating the whitespace between atoms-button and ("buttonContent" the errors and warnings disappear.

Errorless button-list.mustache <ul><li>{{> atoms-button("buttonContent": "foo") }}</li></ul>

These two files are the only changes I made to a fresh clone of Pattern Lab Node - Gulp Edition (Tag: 1.4.0), besides the fact that I am running it in a debian virtual box with node v8.6.0 installed.
