A problem with running the application

[amonemian]

Hi,

Thank you for your sharing.

Using Windows 10, I followed your build instruction. and both of "node" and "npm" are installed as follows:
$ npm -version
4.1.2
$ node -v
v7.7.1

when I want to build the app, I encountered the following error:

gradlew clean build

THIS BUILD HAS BEEN TESTED ON OSX WITH NPM 4.1.2 AND NODE v7.7.1 AVAILABLE ON THE PATH

It would be appreciative if you help me solving this problem.
Thanks.

Hi amonemian,

I suspect that gradle cannot find the npm binary on the path. Can you please try to run just the ui build and see if that works.

$ cd src/main/ui
$ npm install
$ npm run build

If that works, maybe you can try replacing commandLine 'npm' to the full path of the npm binary in the build.gradle file.

Hello,

another solution on Windows is to replace commandLine 'npm' with commandLine 'npm.cmd'
