Join() - object is not a function (Futures)

[mikemilano]

I've installed via the instructions, but I am running into this error when I try to run spriter:

$ spriter assets/

/Users/abcdefg/Spriter/spriter.js:35
      join = Join();
             ^
TypeError: object is not a function

I get the same error. Tried reinstalling node completely, doesn't seem to work.

@mikemilano @amanj2718 I struggled with the same issue, and here is the workaround for it:
In the repo's folder

$ cd node_modules/futures
$ rm -rf node_modules

Then open package.json (for futures), change "join": ">= 2.1.1" to "join": "~2.1.1". And then reinstall all dependencies for futures.

$ npm install

Done!

why do you think this problem happens? I tried adding "join": "~2.1.1" directly to the Spriter package file. Then I'm able to run spriter without errors in the console, but the code inside join.when(function() { ... (in spriter.js line 17) is never called.

I followed your steps @tjwudi but still get this:

fariazz@wayashama:~/www/quintus/Spriter$ spriter demo

/home/fariazz/www/quintus/Spriter/spriter.js:36
      join = Join();
             ^

By adding join to the Spriter package file I don't get console errors but the promise join.when() doesn't get triggered.

I made a pull request - https://github.com/cykod/Spriter/pull/5/files but updating to latest packages solved the issue
