Can't start the script

[Jaspix]

Hello, I wanted to try the script out but I'm currently facing some issues. I made sure to follow the installation steps and installed the dependencies.

This is the output from the command line.

Thanks a lot for your interest! Could you give me your node version (with node --version)?

[Jaspix]

Hello.
my node version is v16.5.0

[fxmarty]

Thank you, I can reproduce the issue. Looks like imports behave differently between v14 and v16. I will have a look.

[fxmarty]

Can you try the following?

1/ Delete the extension/ folder in rikaichamp-backend/ folder
2/ yarn install in rikaichamp-backend/ folder
3/ tsc in rikaichamp-backend/ folder
4/ Retry rikai-mpv with F5

Looks like node v16 doesn't like typescript compiled into javascript when it has been done when node v14 was install (though I thought tsc and nodejs were independent).

The issues seems resolved now! Though, I don't know what the last log means. This is the output:

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thank you! I will update the readme in this regard. The logging looks fine to me, as long as you manage to make use of the script :)
