MMM-CalendarExt3 issue Loading / Showing the calendar on 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
$

@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.

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>
