Nothing happens on windows7

[Dequisitor]

Hi,

After npm install -g oni I used oni -> nothing happens, after a second or so the focus is back on the terminal (the cursor blinks - don't know the technical term). So I did a npm install -g oni-vim and oni-vim -> same result.

oni -> 0.0.1 oni-vim -> 0.1.2 npm -> v 4.0.3 (just upgraded from 3.10.2) electron -> 1.4.11 (only under oni-vim)

Thanks in advance, dequisitor

P.S.: thanks for this awesome GUI

Thanks for the report, @Dequisitor !

A couple follow-up questions: 1) What node version are you running? I'm assuming its 7+ based on the npm version, but wanted to check 2) Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows?

It sounds like there are some related reports: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/2126

My hunch is it might be worth trying the 32-bit electron bits and see how they work

Hi, @extr0py

Thanks for the quick answer.

1. My node version was 4.4.5 when I submitted the bug report. Updated it to 6.9.2, still the same situation.
2. 64-bit windows.

After reading bug report you referenced (thanks for that too) I realized I should have mentioned this is a workstation at my company, which means there can be a couple of programs keeping oni from running. Although electron starts without issues. Will try 32bit electron tomorrow.

Never tried electron, so this might be stupid: cd-d into oni directory, issued electron .

$ electron .

Hi @Dequisitor - there was a bug with this package where the built files weren't included... so that is likely the culprit. I've published a new package v0.1.3 - try that out and see if it works better!

I am using windows 10 X64 now nothing happens when I type oni after install from cmd. Hope it gets fixed

[bryphe]

@Rafi993 - did you install with npm install -g oni-vim or did you clone/build locally?

[Rafi993]

I tried both but the same result.

When I updated the electron version to 1.4.12 from 1.4.5 the problem was solved. Please update the package.json so that this issue wont arise in the future.

@Rafi993 - thanks for the info! Glad it's working now.

Hi @extr0py - sorry for the late response, I was out for the weekend.

Thanks for sorting out the issue with @Rafi993. Sadly, after an update (just sheer npm install -g oni oni-vim) oni and oni-vim commands still seem to do nothing. So I checked the versions, installed electron manually, and tried electron . in the oni and oni-vim directories: oni/electron . resulted in the previously copy/pasted error, and oni-vim/electron . resulted in 'not an electron app' error. (again I'd like to mention I know almost nothing about electron)

Solution: So I checked the main.js which is definitely an electron file, I issued electron main.js and that worked just fine.

99% sure my setup is the one to blame for not being able to run oni and oni-vim, but I thought I'd mention this just in case anyone has the same problem.

Thanks for the update @Dequisitor , and all the detailed info! Glad you got it running.
