Unable to build on Win10

[Petr7]

Hi,

I am new to npm and trying to solve build the vrview on win10, but I tried everything and google can not help anymore :(

Can anybody help me where is problem? Here is the log from npm-debug.

in cmd I type npm run build and get this

I got the same problem. Wonder how to solve it.

I had a similar issue on Windows. Here's what I did to resolve:

First make sure you're using the most up-to-date versions of node and npm. Then, make sure you're running npm install before running npm run build.

The use of semi-colons to support multiple scripts on a single line does not play nicely with Windows command line. So anywhere you see a script like npm run build-min; npm run build-dev; npm run build-api, try replacing those semi-colons with &&.

Based on my experience, you may also run into an issue with _mkdir being called in each script. NPM throws an error for me whenever it sees an existing build or -p directory. So I updated the scripts object in package.json to only execute _mkdir once. After the first call to _mkdir, I removed any other instance of npm run __mkdir && in the subsequent scripts that were invoked by npm run build.

I had the same problem, following Brendan's comment and changing mkdir to
"_mkdir": "if not exist build mkdir build",
fixed it for me

[BrendanCarlin]

@bftaylor Happy to hear my post helped you. Good call on the if statement for mkdir. The crux of the original error posted was from the script line performing multiple npm actions with a semicolon to separate the indiviidual scripts. It simply doesnt work on Windows. If he/she updates each semicolon to &&, that specific error will stop occurring. All the orher commentary in my original post will most likely be relevant based on orher hurdles I encounteted, but the semicolons in those scripts are the reason he/she was receiving that specific error on windows. Would love to hear from the original poster if that helped.

I have the same problem. The fixes mentioned by @BrendanCarlin and @bftaylor do not fix the error for all of the commands for me. The commands that still throw errors are...

$ npm run build # builds the iframe embed and JS API (full and minified versions).
$ npm run build-min # builds the minified iframe embed.
$ npm run build-dev # builds the full iframe embed.```

[BrendanCarlin]

@jongc what's the error?

[jongc]

It looks like all three commands that are failing are throwing the same error that says...

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I went and downloaded JDK9 and set my machine's environment variables to point to the bin folders. My problems are all clear now. I didn't know that I needed JDK for this project.

Thank you all. I have reduced a lot of the errors that occur in Windows for the npm run build command, However, as a newbie I still get some errors and no items are created in the build folder.

Here are the errors. Thank you for your help.
