@airart interesting

ok, lets try to start over that step

cd MagicMirror
del package-lock.json
rd /q/s  node_modules

npm install  only=prod

we will want the name of the log file when it finishes in case

airart · May 28, 2021, 1:23 PM

@airart sorry, typo

–only=prod

airart · May 28, 2021, 2:17 PM

@sdetweil ok done , but no log is generated
npm start

same errors :-(

sdetweil · May 28, 2021, 2:27 PM

@airart there is always a log

in the users home folder .npm/logs

I will recheck my windows env too

npm install --loglevel verbose

should write a file in the local folder

npm-debug.log

when I start my MM i get

C:\Users\sdetw\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.15.0 start C:\Users\sdetw\MagicMirror
> electron js/electron.js


[28.05.2021 09:25.27.486] [LOG]   Starting MagicMirror: v2.15.0

airart · May 28, 2021, 2:41 PM

@sdetweil i try to find this .log but no one is generating … i search in all of my hdd …
when i type npm start

C:\Users\gizmo\MagicMirror>npm start

> magicmirror@2.15.0 start
> node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

"node_modules" non è riconosciuto come comando interno o esterno,
 un programma eseguibile o un file batch.

and there’s no electron js FOLDER in .bin FOLDER

sdetweil · May 28, 2021, 2:40 PM

@airart do again

npm install --loglevel verbose

airart · May 28, 2021, 2:49 PM

@sdetweil nope pal , nothing …
no log
no start

where is your log ?

sdetweil · May 28, 2021, 2:53 PM

@airart man I hate this stuff changing all the time

do this

npm install --only=prod --loglevel verbose >somefile.txt 2>&1

then the install info is in somefile.txt

airart · May 28, 2021, 3:02 PM
