error Error: ENOENT

Overview

I was using the Angular generator in Yeoman but came across some funny errors when it was scaffolding. It turns out a clean out of the cache and quick update of Node fixed it.

Error

Example error I was getting:

64509 error Error: ENOENT, lstat ‘/web/node_modules/grunt-google-cdn/node_modules/bower/node_modules/bower-registry-client/node_modules/request/tests/test-form.js’
64510 error If you need help, you may report this *entire* log,
64510 error including the npm and node versions, at:

64511 error System Linux 3.13.0-33-generic
64512 error command “node” “/usr/local/node/bin/npm” “install”
64513 error cwd /web
64514 error node -v v0.10.28
64515 error npm -v 2.0.0-alpha-5

Fix

Clean the Node cache.
sudo npm cache clean -f

Update Node.
sudo npm install -g n

Upgrade to Node to a stable version.
sudo n stable

Errors running yeoman AngularJS generator
Upgrade Node.js via NPM
