Installing wrong Rivet CLI
from all the testing i’ve done, i’ve come to the guess that i have the wrong rivet and it’s stopping the right rivet from working.
basically
rivet run start does nothing, which is the same behavior for commands that don’t exist, rivet init gives an error about contracts file path not existing or something, and it just doesn’t work. this is on my brothers computer btw, on mine it works fine.
on my brothers computer running rivet --version prints “1.0.7” or something like that and mine prints a small wall of text where the first line is “rivet cli”11 Replies
we’ve been trying for like 2 hours sorry for low effort post
@Funded. nw, can you try upgrading yoru cli by re-running the install command? https://github.com/rivet-gg/cli
we tried that before, nothing changed

hmm, that looks like a different rivet (https://www.npmjs.com/package/rivet)
can you install using this command? https://github.com/rivet-gg/cli?tab=readme-ov-file#installation
npm
rivet
Suite of utilities for working with the Rivet consumer-driven API contacts testing model.. Latest version: 1.0.7, last published: 7 years ago. Start using rivet in your project by running
npm i rivet. There are no other projects in the npm registry using rivet.installed using
powershell -Command "iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rivet-gg/cli/main/install/windows.ps1 -useb | iex" and results are the same
that is what I suspected but uninstalling doesn't seem to do anythinghmm, wondering if the bad rivet is clobbering the correct one. how did you install the other rivet? did you use
npm install -g?yes I think so
ggs
uninstalled fake rivet using
npm remove -g rivet
was trying to uninstall without global flag before
