Get error when try to run node app about express-admin HOT 14 CLOSED

Post here the entire command that you're using in the command line.

from express-admin.

C:\nodejs\express_admin>node app

from express-admin.

The first command I used is:
C:\nodejs\express_admin>npm install
Which installed the required node modules
After this I run this command
C:\nodejs\express_admin>node app

path.js:116 throw new TypeError('Arguments to path.resolve must be strings');
^

from express-admin.

The command must be node app existing_dir
Just tell me if that fails too.

from express-admin.

What do you mean by existing_dir I have copied all of the files in express_admin folder and the app.js file is in express_admin folder

from express-admin.

Create some directory it may be outside of the admin folder.

mkdir somewhere/project

then

node app path/to/project

These are unix paths just use the regular paths in Windows e.g. \ instead of /

Just create a project directory inside the express-admin folder and test with it

node app project

from express-admin.

sorry I am confused. I now tried echoing some thing. It gives me this error

C:\nodejs\express_admin\app.js:7
console.log('Check path'.program.getConfigPath());
^

in app.js

from express-admin.

As above it says getConfigPath is undefined I checked /lib/utils/program.js
And it does have this method

from express-admin.

please reply me back

from express-admin.

Yes unfortunately there is a bug for Windows in some of the external modules that I use. And you'll have to wait a day or two before I can work on it and fix it.

I'll leave this issue open so you'll be notified as soon as the bugfix is ready.

Thanks for the feedback!

from express-admin.

great!

Do you know any good git repo where in they have used nodejs/express/mysql I would like to play arround this over the weekend. As for me nodejs looks promising!

from express-admin.

Just install express and mysql read through their documentations and try to write some simple routes querying some test database.

Hi, @chetank25, sorry for the delay.

Apparently the admin works under windows.

Here is what I've done to get it running on Windows XP but it should run on any newer version as well:

1. Surely I have installed NodeJS
2. I've installed the GitHub's client for Windows because I haven't installed git before that
3. Next I started the Git Shell (it's in the programs menu) and executed npm install express-admin from there because it have the git paths set and I'm too lazy to set it by myself
4. Next I downloaded the Oracle's MySql package, you need to install the server and the workbench at least
5. I created a folder called project inside the express-admin folder
6. Lastly I started the admin and everything went smootly
