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
