MMM-CalendarExt3 issue Loading / Showing the calendar on Windows

[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
$

@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!
