MMM-CalendarExt3 issue Loading / Showing the calendar on Windows

[sdetweil]

@JackHammer325 did you do the npm install in the module folder?

are you running the correct version of node js? version 18 or above

what platform are you on, show output of

uname -a
lsb_release -a
node -a
npm -a

[JackHammer325]

yes, I did.
i even double checked .

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3
cd MMM-CalendarExt3
npm install
git submodule update --init --recursive

i even ran the update just to be sure

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
git pull
npm update

im currently on Node.js ver 18.16.0
running on windows 8.1

not entirely sure how to “show output of” that you are asking

[sdetweil]

@JackHammer325 ok, windows

node -v and npm -v

from a command prompt (cmd.exe) window

the others are linux only

[JackHammer325]

@sdetweil
node -v = v18.16.0
npm -v = 9.5.1

[sdetweil]

@JackHammer325 are you using the native windows or running in the linux subsystem for windows?

[JackHammer325]

@sdetweil
native windows with program Git Bash

[sdetweil]

@JackHammer325 do not need git bash

just cmd.exe
npm start
or npm run server

of course u have to change package.json per the instructions due to the windows backslash for path

[JackHammer325]

@sdetweil
so i followed these instructions

"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
"start:dev": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js dev",

and replace it with

"start": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",
"start:dev": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js dev",

but it still goes back to
C:\magicmirror>
and does nothing.

@sdetweil

PC@WST MINGW32 /c/magicmirror
$ npm start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> .\node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js


PC@WST MINGW32 /c/magicmirror
$

[sdetweil]

@JackHammer325 dont use min

just install under cmd.exe , do the extra steps, then npm start

[JackHammer325]

@sdetweil
alright I will try that and let you know of the outcome!

[JackHammer325]

@sdetweil
just finished the install using cmd

• made sure to install the fonts and vendor parts
• as well as change the package.json file and then did run start.

but it still did the same thing as before.

[JackHammer325]

@sdetweil

C:\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> .\node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js


C:\MagicMirror>

[sdetweil]

@JackHammer325 no .\ in front

the doc is wrong. windows doesn’t like . for current directory

[JackHammer325]

@sdetweil
this is what i have in my package.json file. I removed the “.” like you recommended.

now i get “the system cannot find the path specified”

C:\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> \node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js

The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\MagicMirror>

[sdetweil]

@JackHammer325 you only removed the dot I said no .\

so remove the slashes too

"node_modules\\.bin\\....",

[JackHammer325]

@sdetweil
sorry guess i didn’t realize.
I’ve done that and it looks like it’s trying to start but then just goes back to this.

C:\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.26.0 start
> node_modules\.bin\electron js\electron.js                 → sits here for about 8-10 seconds
                                                                                                                                                   then does that
                                                                                                                                                                   ↓
C:\MagicMirror>
