[Sugar-devel] Hacking on HTML activities UI (was Re: GSoC 13)

[suraj ks]

Hi,
I'm having trouble creating an activity using volo.
i cloned the modules which you mentioned to D:\pesit\

i tried creating a sample like how to suggested.
But it shows the following error:

D:\pesit>volo create helloAgain ayopa/xi-activity
Downloading: https://nodeload.github.com/ayopa/xi-activity/legacy.zip/master
Malformed volofile: D:\pesit\helloAgain\volofile: Error: Cannot find module
'xi-artwork/update-artwork'
onCreate did not succeed. You can try later by typing "volo onCreate"
inside the
 project that was just created, passing any arguments you passed to the
create call.
https://api.github.com/repos/ayopa/xi-activity/zipball/master used to
create helloAgain


Please help me out here.

Regards,
Suraj
