Cannot Install: Required modules are not found: Views_datasource [#2266803]

When trying to install 7.x-1.0-alpha6. I cannot move forward in the installation process due to the following error:

Required modules Required modules not found.
The following modules are required but were not found. Move them into the appropriate modules subdirectory, such as sites/all/modules. Missing modules: Views_datasource

I checked checked the COD modules profile and the module is there.

I even tried deleting the module and downloading a new version of the module and still no changes.

Same issue. Since the module "views_datasource" is available, and actually manually downloading the views_datasource module as well didn't make a difference since its looking for a capital letter version, I tried to grep search the entire installation profile for "Views_datasource" to find a faulty setting. Nothing found.

There are references to "views_datasource" (note the lowercase V) in /profiles/cod and /profiles/cod/modules/contrib. It looks like this module is included in the distribution, so you don't have to download it yourself (makes sense, that's what a distribution does!). I'm not quite sure why the error message comes up, though.

The dev version seems to install without the error, though.

No, I take that back. At the end of the "Install profile" step, I got an AJAX error and the installation stopped.

Yes the project has the views_datasource module and grep finds all of those references. Just thought I might find and fix the errant capital letter.

Same problem with the dev version on MAMP - stops on an error.

I guess its time to go backwards...

Version:	7.x-1.0-alpha6	» 7.x-1.x-dev
Status:	Active	» Fixed

This has been fixed in the dev branch. The basic issue is that the module name is views_datasource, but the actual module name that needs to be required is views_json... so if you don't want to use the dev branch, you just need to update the .info file to be views_json instead of views_datasource.
