Currently working through some of the documentation examples from Jack Henry and I've ran into an issue on the Authentication (Node.js) example project (https://jackhenry.dev/open-api-docs/consumer-api/quickstarts/authentication/)
For reference, here is the git repository being used https://github.com/Banno/consumer-api-openid-connect-example
I have Node.js/npm installed locally and after using "npm install", when I try to use "npm start", I get an error. Screenshot of Error
> #banno/consumer-api-openid-connect-example#1.0.0 start
> ENVIRONMENT='local' node server.js
>'ENVIRONMENT' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
>operable program or batch file.
I've not modified any of the package.json file where this line is located, which is throwing the error.
Any suggestions as to what could be the issue? Thanks!
The Node.js examples more or less assume a *nix-compatible operating environment (e.g. Linux, Unix, macOS) and apparently do not work on vanilla Windows.
The suggestions above from other folks for working around how to set up the command line variable or using cross-env might be good to try.
It might also be worth considering using Windows Subsystem for Linux to get that *nix-compatible operating environment.
It looks like Microsoft has some documentation on how to Install Node.js on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2).

Here is my problem, I am dealing with it for a days, and any help is greatly appreciated.
I am developing a project using Laravel, on a Windows 10. I have installed NodeJS, NPM works just as expected, and also when I check node -v through CMD or PowerShell it shows current version.
So, my environment variables are placed where it should be, and works properly.
But the problem is, whenever I try to use some package in Laravel that relies on node, it shows me "node is not recognized..." Examples that occur this problem are spatie/browsershot, rialto-php/puphpeteer, and many other that relies on puphpeteer or on node generally.
Once again, my environment variables are set, but maybe they are not provided to Laravel or something like that?
Any ideas about this..
Thanks in advance!
I have a working react app that I had hosted on a linux environment, but the client has switched their hosting provider and now I have to run the app on a Windows environment. I personally am unfamiliar with Windows and having some serious issues getting my app to work now.
After loads of debugging and testing I now can get my app to run, but when I start it, it will throw some errors which will results in a broken app in the browser.
So when I run npm start it will start up the app and spit out this error:
Screenshot of the terminal error 1/2
Screenshot of the terminal error 2/2
It seems to spit out some complaints when using npm run watchJS which runs this command babel src --watch --out-dir lib.
I am completely lost at this point and have no idea where to go from here.
I can provide as much detail as anyone needs after looking at the question, I just don't know what else to add to this issue and don't want to fill up this question with irrelevant info.
Thanks in advance for any help
It is likely a bug with the version of npm you are using.
See this thread:
https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/18380
Try rolling back your version of npm to 5.3
The issue appears to be exclusive to windows with babel packages.
I'm playing around with the Cordova hooks capabilities and I'm trying to test using a node application as a hook. In this article: http://devgirl.org/2013/11/12/three-hooks-your-cordovaphonegap-project-needs/ it references running node applications, so I know it's possible.
I've created a simple node application that I'm using to test the before prepare and after prepare process:
#! /usr/bin/env node
console.log("this is a node module");
When I run my prepare, I get the following error:
C:\Users\jwargo\dev\lunchmenu>cordova prepare
The system cannot find the path specified.
Hook failed with error code 1: C:\Users\jwargo\dev\lunchmenu\hooks\before_prepare\test.js
I can't find any information anywhere about what an error code of 1 means here.
I've tested the node code and it runs fine with "node test.js" and when I execute test.js from the command line Windows simply launches my default editor.
So, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I need to do to be able to execute a node application as a hook with the Cordova CLI?
Figured it out with some help from the Cordova dev team. The space in my shebang was causing the problem. I removed it and the problem went away.
New Grunt user here who is using a lot of new tools (npm nodejs) today.
I've got Grunt "installed" and have been able to create a grunt.js file using the init task as described here: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/meeting-grunt-the-build-tool-for-javascript/ and here: https://github.com/cowboy/grunt/blob/master/docs/getting_started.md. But whenever I run the "grunt" command I get an error:
Windows Script Host
Script: c:\users\[]\Documents\code\grunt\grunt.js
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: 'module' is undefined
Code: 800A1391
Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error
As explained in the FAQ, you need to type grunt.cmd instead on Windows because the OS tries to launch grunt.js
Or you can install grunt-cli globally instead. This package will run any version of Grunt if it's been installed locally to your project.
SOLVED !!
So, this problem occur because windows by default associative < *.js > files
with >>
"Microsoft Windows Based Script Host".
grunt need to open by default with (grunt.cmd).
it easy to slove, by change default app (open with..)
Guide :
Go to any javascript file with "js" extension. (any file)
Right-Click(mouse) > Properties > "Opens with:" Change...(button)
Choose Notepad ( or any javascript IDE ).
PROBLEM SOLVED ! :)
good luck
If you're getting a "Microsoft JScript runtime error" that means that node.js isn't even getting invoked; instead Windows Script Host is trying to run your code. That's probably a problem with filetype associations; IIRC Windows defaults to trying to execute a ".js" file with WSH. You may wind up having to create a shortcut to your script, specifying a command line (probably something like "node %1") and a starting directory in order to make sure that it's executed properly.
It would help if you could tell us exactly how you're trying to invoke your code.
it seems that in the latest versions of the grunt modules, you would have to do the following to have it work under windows:
remove any globally installed grunt
npm uninstall -g grunt
install grunt-cli globally
npm install -g grunt-cli
install grunt locally into your project
npm install grunt
installing grunt (v0.4.x) globally does not seem to create the necessary grunt.cmd anymore. it seems that the recommendation is now to have grunt installed locally to be able to use version-specific Gruntfiles
As Florian F suggested, running grunt.cmd works. This is because of the process Windows is looking for your grunt command.
When typing grunt -h Windows will proceed to look for the following files:
./grunt.cmd
./grunt.* (grunt.js is found in this case which is why you see "module is undefined")
%APPDATA%/npm/grunt.cmd
An alternative to using "grunt.cmd" is to use grunter which simply renames the command to grunter... then you no longer have this problem.
To answer this, first we need to understand that the error is caused because it is being executed by Windows Script Host.
Now, run the code from your cmd promt with the following syntax:
>node <application_name>.js
this will allow the Node.js application to open through V8 JavaScript engine(Google's).
P.S: Please reply back if this has helped in resolving your issue else post the problem you are facing after trying this.
I had a similar issue, the problem is file association, I would recommend:
right click on a .js file and choose open with.
then you choose nodejs/node.exe (somewhere in "program files" folder
then make tick box where it says "always open .js files " (paraphrasing)
That should do the trick.
I went through the same issue when running an old Node project.
The issue was with the name of the js file, it was node.js. So the while running the command node node.js, it was opening up a windows dialogue box.
I just changed the name of the file to app.js and the error flew away.
So, in my case i had tryed all the mentioned above with no result.
But i have fund that im dont type: node in the full sentence as the following snipet
node script.js.And remember never understimate your own miscoding.
Solution:
Go to any javascript file with "js" extension. (any file)
Right-Click(mouse) > Properties > "Opens with:" Change...(button)
Choose Notepad ( or any Javascript IDE like VS Code ).
I'm a real noob at this. I've just began scratching the surface on node.js/socket.io/html5 and stuff. I finally figured out how to use my command prompt (using windows) to launch a "hello world" application with the command "node example.js." But what does npm mean? When I'm looking at socket.io it says to install, npm install socket.io Does that mean I need to extract all the files into my nodejs folder?
I'm confused.
npm is a generally awesome program for managing packages and dependencies (especially while you have a network connection). It does lots of fancy things and is most commonly used with node.js projects. That said, it's an unfortunately common misconception that the acronym stands for "node package manager".
In reality, npm doesn't actually stand for anything as it's not an acronym. With taglines like "no problem, meatbag" the npm organization playfully resists the trend of acronymization. It should always be referenced in lowercase to avoid confusion with the National Association of Pastoral Musicians.
npm is a command line interface program to manage node.js libraries (it stands for node package manager - at least it did initially, they since turned this into a bit of a running gag - thanks to #spex in the comments for that link). Check out the docs, it is awesome and amazing. As you mentioned, just type npm install in a command prompt, and voilà, you have the library in your local node modules.
npm is stands for Non-Parametric Mapping utility written by Chris Rorden...
But we can keep it as Node Package Manager and it is very helpful for Module Loader which uses CommmonJS module pattern, and I am not sure will Node will support the ES2015 Module Loading Syntax (Built in module Loading Syntax)?
for those who are wondering the same thing, you just type npm install socket.io in the command prompt where nodejs file is.
C:/Program Files/nodejs
That should be what your command prompt should say and then just type that in.
