Mikser not starting up

[scotrod]

Environment: Win10 Pro 20h2 NodE.JS VER - v12.18.3 MongoDB VER - 4.4

Issue: upon starting, I get the following error:

D:\mikser\mikser\mikser>mikser
Mikser: 7.9.13
Working folder: D:\mikser\mikser\mikser
Plugins: markdown,textile,swig,ect,twig,pug,ejs,yaml,toml,json,cson,csv,archieml,nunjucks,browser,livereload,feedback,switch,gate
Mongo: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin\mongod.exe

D:\mikser\mikser\mikser>

And nothing else, the server doesn't start. Any ideas on how can I resolve this?

Can you run it with mikser -d to get the full debug log.

I reinstalled nodejs, mongodb and mikser twice to make sure that it was not installation failure or issue.

Any resolution on this? I tried this setup on a separate machine (fresh Windows reinstall) same problem.

[dimitarkolev]

Just pushed a fix: mikser@7.11.2 It was a busy week.

Sorry for bothering again, but I'm still getting similar issue.

This again is on separate Windows machine, no previous mikser installs.

[dimitarkolev]

Can you try it now ( mikser@7.11.3)?

[scotrod]

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
