Bit import on fresh install MacOS gives obscure error

[ezbz]

OS: MacOS 10.12.6
Shell: zsh 5.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.6.0)
Installed bit via sudo npm install bit-bin --global

Bit config, init and status pass ok but when I try to import I get the following:

~/d/bitsrc ❯❯❯ bit import bit.utils/validator/is-email
Error
    at unpackCmd (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bit-bin/dist/utils/unpack-command.js:15:11)
    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bit-bin/dist/scope/network/ssh/ssh.js:247:75
    at <anonymous>
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7)

When I go to unpackCmd (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bit-bin/dist/utils/unpack-command.js:15:11) and change line 15 from:

throw new Error(str);
to
throw new Error(err);

And run again I get:

~/d/bitsrc ❯❯❯ bit import bit.utils/validator/is-email
Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input
    at unpackCmd (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bit-bin/dist/utils/unpack-command.js:15:11)

Proper validation error handling is needed here for configuration issues

Thanks, @ezbz for reporting this issue.

few comments about the issue:

1. Can you please share your bit version? (run bit -V in terminal). if it's lower than 0.10.5 I suggest you upgrade to version 0.10.5 (released yesterday)
2. bit.utils is an old scope which is not backward compatible, we will update this scope in a few days (and we will notify you right after)
3. Regarding the unpack cmd error, we just took care of this in version 0.10.5, now you should get a better error in the terminal, and the real error should be written into bit logs which you can find in this path:

~/Library/Caches/Bit/logs/debug.log

Thanks @GiladShoham for replying so quickly,

Upped to version 0.10.5

~/d/bitsrc ❯❯❯ bit -V                                                                                                                                ⏎
0.10.5

Thanks @ezbz

This component won't work for now since it's an old component.
I'll update this thread once we will update it.

Regarding the unpack cmd error, you should get a better error.
It's a bug, and I added it to our todo list.

[GiladShoham]

@ezbz this should work now, with the latest version of bit (0.10.6) and the current utils scope on bitsrc.io
I'm closing this, if it's still happening to you i'll open it again.
