No telemetry message on first run

[millette]

Just upgraded an existing project to Gatsby 2.3.0 and there was no prompt to send or disable telemetry data.

Running with GATSBY_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1 shows a few Captured events.

@millette were you using yarn?

Yarn seems to have a bug where a postinstall script isn't invoked.

We've fixed the issue here so that all users see the prompt! We've published the fix in gatsby-telemetry@1.0.1 which is required by gatsby@2.3.1.

Going to close this out, but thanks for the note and sorry about the little blip, here!

@DSchau Thanks for the quick response. Yes, using yarn I tried again with gatsby 2.3.1, verified it upgraded telemetry to 1.0.1 and ran gatsby build but there still was no mention of telemetry.

Also tried 2.3.2, still no telemetry prompt or message. Then I noticed the new file ~/.config/gatsby/config.json and when I removed it, I finally saw the telemetry message.

Since a few people might have installed 2.3 without seeing a message, may I suggest a confirmed field in config.json and display the message if it's not set. This way, the message will appear for those who have missed it. Feel free to close (again) if you don't think this precaution is necessary.

We're not going to put much effort on this one as we have fixed the issue for new users and also made sure all info is anonymous. There is always the option to bail out.

We'll also create a blog post about telemetry.
