I tried to install Habitat and followed all the instructions mentioned at: https://github.com/Sitecore/Habitat/wiki/01-Getting-Started

When I run the default task as mentioned in step 5 of wiki, I keep on getting the following error (i have already executed npm install and npm install -g gulp-cli):

  • What version of Visual Studio do you have?

  • Have you installed nodejs in your computer?

  • The default Habitat repo has major dependencies on Node, NPM, Gulp and other tooling that is very problematic for developers. If you just want the site locally, and have a TDS license, I'd suggest using the TDS fork and just doing Deploy Solution. github.com/HedgehogDevelopment/Habitat/tree/TDS-latest. It simplifies it. Note: this is a comment, not an answer, as I know it doesn't resolve your specific build problem....but it resolves mine! :-)

Reset to default

The newest update from Habitat is using MSBuild v15 which is included in VS 2017. Hence, you should install VS2017 or use the way from @peaks. There is also the alternative way is change the configuration in gulp-config.js by v14 instead of v15 in case you are using VS2015.

  • i was also facing the same issue, but now fixed after changing buildtoolversion from 15.0 to 14.0

If you are getting build error as 'Error: spawn C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\amd64\MSBuild. exe ENOENT ' ensure you set the buildToolVersion: auto.

enter image description here

I was able to determine this 'auto' value, looking at the logic on the gulp-msbuild\lib\msbuild-finder.js

You can find more details in the below blog link.

Try the following: In Visual Studio, open Tools > Options > Web Package Management > In "Locations of external tools", move the $(PATH) to the top (before .\node_modules.bin).

enter image description here

Now, in Task Runner Explorer, try running the default task.

  • Thanks for the update but even after implementing the suggested changes I am still getting the same error. Any other suggestions?

  • Two suggestions: 1. Check if you have the latest NodeJS version installed in your computer. 2. Delete the folder node_modules and then run npm install again

Make sure you have the correct build tools installed (Gulp is expecting MSBuild 15).

This is a separate download to VS2017 - look for Build Tools for VS2017 here: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
