MMM-CalendarExt3 issue Loading / Showing the calendar on Windows

@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

@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.

@sdetweil

C:\MagicMirror>npm start

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


C:\MagicMirror>

@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.
JSON package.jpg

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>

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

so remove the slashes too

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