New ACE project fails to run

[Chris Dunne {Raledo}]

I've just installed the latest ACE from Bitbucket. I have node, npm etc install (all latest versions) running on Windows 8.

I created a new jira add-on project.

When I try npm start or node app.js I get the following error

url.js:103
 throw new TypeError('Parameter "url" must be a string, not ' + typeof url);
 ^

Can anyone help? Am I missing a parameter in config.json. I've not changed anything in any of the files that were generated.

BTW - When I run npm install I also get the following warning

npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.
added 247 packages from 295 contributors and audited 517 packages in 22.093s

 run `npm audit fix` to fix them, or `npm audit` for details

I did try to fix it. It refers to the package 'fresh' and says it should be updated to 0.5.2 but it appears the package is already at the correct version.

Thanks

Hi @Chris Dunne {Raledo}

Just had the same issue as you and was able to solve it with the following configuration change in config.json

"store": {
    "adapter": "sequelize",
    "dialect": "sqlite",
    "storage": "store.db"
}

changed dialect "sqlite3" to "sqlite" and changed key "database" to "storage".

additionally I had to install the sqlite3 npm package.

npm install --save sqlite3

Cheers
Gabriel
