Errors with upgrading to 1.5 and platform/doctor commands

[verschuur]

I updated the global NPM package to 1.5, following the upgrade guide. During the install, I get the following error:

Cannot read property 'match' of null
Error: Unknown command 'dev-post-install'. Try '$ tns help' for a full list of supported commands.

After removing the Android platform, when I run tns platform add android I get an error Cannot read property 'match' of null.

When i run tns doctor I also get the Cannot read property 'match' of null error.

This is with the latest Android SDK installed (I think, I'm not much of an Android developer so I basically install what seems necessary). The iOS platform installs without any errors.

This happens on OSX 10.0.5 (Yosemite) using either node v4.2.1 or node 5.1.0, with node having been installed using Brew.

Hi @gverschuur ,
The problem is that you do not have cocoapods installed. You can find more information in this thread.
I'm closing this one as it is duplicate of the mentioned one. Please note that the fix for this issue will be included in our next release. For the moment I suggest you to install cocoapods on your machine.

Thanks for the very quick reply, and for the duplicate issue. The fix there worked for me.
