Everything in my Node project worked perfectly, but then I decided to reinstall my Windows OS so I copyied all my project to Google drive. After i reinstalled, i went and downloaded my node project back to my desktop, installed node, and now i get this error: Failed to lookup view "error" in views directory "C:\Users\Tom\Desktop\Node\views".....Why is this happening?
I have already searched for multiple solutions, but all of them say that this part of the code is to blame:
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname,'../public')));
I found the error. After reinstalling windows and sublime, when I inserted my project, the files got renamed from index.ejs to index.ejs.html.... after getting rid of the ".html", everything worked perfectly.

In Android Studio, I am getting the following error when trying to run my app on an Android device:
The specified Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2-bin.zip' does not exist.
All my Android Studio projects are affected by this and restoring them to older commits does not change anything.
The problems all started by following the advice given here: Could not install Gradle distribution from 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.1-all.zip'
I deleted everything in my /.gradle/wrapper/dists/ folder. Now, I get the above error and I do not see how to solve it.
Here is how to reproduce it with Android Studio 2021.1.1 on Windows (but be warned: this might corrupt your projects, too):
Delete everything in /.gradle/wrapper/dists/
Create a new project "Test" in Android Studio (this might take a while, since gradle-7.2-bin.zip will be downloaded in the dists folder)
The project builds and runs without errors
Close Android Studio
Delete everything in /.gradle/wrapper/dists/ again
Open project "Test" in Android Studio
Try to run
Now you should get the above mentioned error.
At this point, /.gradle/wrapper/dists/ is still empty. Now you can do the following:
run gradlew tasks in Terminal in the Project Folder of "Test" (this will take a while, since gradle-7.2-bin.zip will be downloaded in the dists folder again)
run gradlew build (everything should build without errors)
But clicking on "Run" still yields the same error.
I am getting the impression that this is an AndroidStudio / IntelliJ bug.
Can anyone help me with this?
Running Android Studio as Administrator solved the problem for me
It turned out my Android Studio installation was heavily corrupted. Simply, uninstalling it and installing it again also did not help.
I basically had to do everything that was suggested here: How to completely uninstall Android Studio from windows(v10)? and delete everything related to Android Studio. I installed it again and now everything is fine again.
I do not know what the problem was. Maybe the .m2 folder, maybe the Jetbrains folder.
My advice to everyone facing the same issue:
First try around deleting caching folders. If nothing helps, go for the brute force approach and follow the answers (not only the accepted answer) of the above mentioned StackOverflow question.
In Visual Studio Installer, I selected the Node.js development option. It runs successfully. But, if I try to run cmd node -v. It tells me node does not exist.
I tried a few other things including uninstalling and reinstalling the Node.js development option in VS Installer. Plus installing the latest version of node from the website.
However, when I try to run the pre-packed Angular solution that comes with VS 2017 I have issues. The solution will not even start.
The best I have been able to do is install Node 6.10.3. Once I do that, the web site comes up. But, I get a JavaScript error in the vendor.js file. I am able to continue but I get this error when I try navigate to another menu item. Plus the Hot Module Replacement does not seem to be working. (It does not automatically recompile my TypeScript file if I made a change).
I think the key is getting the Node.js development option installed correctly since I am able to run the pre-packed Angular solution on another PC and the Hot Module Replacement works fine.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to resolve.
I had a similar, if not the same, issue. Check the Visual Studio installation directory (2017 Professional in this case) for Node:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\NodeJs
If the executable is there, add the directory to your PATH.
My app was installing just fine... installing and reinstalling for testing, etc. But now it won't install anymore... and Android Studio says,
Application Installation Failed
Installation failed with message Failed to
finalize session :
INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Split
lib_slice_3_apk was defined multiple times.
It is possible that this issue is resolved by
uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it is
present, and then re-installing.
WARNING: Uninstalling will remove the
application data!
Do you want to uninstall the existing
application?
[CANCEL] [OK]
I tried uninstalling the app from my phone, but it still won't re-install.
Also, I tried installing it fresh on an emulator where it had never been installed before, and that did not work either.
I suppose I must have inadvertently messed up some compile-related setting that I don't understand (but I haven't been doing anything like that). I don't have a knowledge of the compile process, and pretty much depend on Android Studio to do that.
I have been working on a "sister" app to this one... where I copied some libraries (.jar files such as zixng.jar from [project root]\app\libs) from this app to the other app. And that other app is installed on my phone also... but then again, it's not on the emulator... so I guess that's not the problem. Merp.
Thanks for any suggestions or possible explanations.
Try to clean & then Rebuild the project again. To do so please go to Build menu, both the tools are present their.
If issue not solved with that than try to invalidate caches & restart Android Studio from File menu -> Invalidate Caches/Restart.
This is a bit of an embarrassing question but I'm unable to get the default Typescript project to work in VS2015. It seems to be an issue with the pc I'm using and not VS as the default project works on other machines at my work. When running a Typescript project from VS2015 I get a 404 error when loading in the app.js. From my understanding ISS should be converting app.ts into app.js. I tried removing the ISSExpress folder from documents and trying again and that didn't work. Has anyone got any suggestions to help me get typescript working without having to reinstall VS.
Thanks
the newest node.js 0.12.0 doesnt work together with the sqlite3 package. i found nvm for windows: nvm for windows https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases . i thought nice to use the old and new node.js versions on 1 computer.
after installing nvm for windows in c:\nvm , i get in visual studio 2013 in debug that there is a fault in npm : illigal characters in path resulting in exit debug program . Outside Visual Studio it works fine.
As I mentioned in my comment, I had a very similar problem. After installing node.js for purpose of using gulp I could not do a successful build. I would get the following error:
C:\Visual Studio
Projects\MyProject\packages\RazorGenerator.MsBuild.2.2.6\build\RazorGenerator.MsBuild.targets(21,9):
error : Illegal characters in path.
After searching around I guessed that the problem had to do with the node.js utilizing "illegally" long path names. For some background go here: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/6960
My solution was to install the Flatten Packages tool: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/cd0b1938-4513-4e57-b9b7-c674b4a20e79?SRC=VSIDE
I ran flatten packages on the "node_modules" folder, tried to build (failed but with a different error), restarted Visual Studio, and everything now seems to build ok. Hope this helps.
UPDATE
One thing to keep in mind is that, by design, Flatten Packages will move files up in the directory structure. As a consequence, however, Visual Studio will still look for some of the folder/files in the OLD location; VS will shows the [!] symbol to show that the file was there but no longer is. These old file references can gum up the build, so you need to simply delete these old file references/directories.
Since this post still is on top when searching for this topic..
I also had this problem with "Illegal characters in path" and found that the best solution for me and my team was to make Visual Studio use the latest npm version (>= 3.0) since the node_modules folder depth doesnt get as deep as with npm2 (used by Visual Studio).
This solution will work for you in the background, not needing to run extra commands and tools for flattening the folder.
