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

[oshihirii]

Windows 10
Node v14.18.1

I've cloned connect-api-examples with:

gh repo clone square/connect-api-examples

I'm following the instructions here: for connect-examples/v2/node_subscription:

https://github.com/square/connect-api-examples/tree/master/connect-examples/v2/node_subscription

I'm in the following location:

/connect-api-examples/connect-examples/v2/node_subscription

I've created a .env file with this content:

SQUARE_ACCESS_TOKEN=token-is-here  

and run:

npm install

and get error:

$ npm test

> square-subscription-api-sample-app@1.0.0 test D:\REPOS\connect-api-examples\connect-examples\v2\node_subscription
> NODE_ENV=sandbox nodemon -e js,pug ./bin/www

'NODE_ENV' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.

Perhaps it has something to do with issues discussed here?

Also, FYI, there is no config.json file in the root directory of this example, as referred to here:

Update:

I don't know if this is the correct thing to do or not.

In package.json I added SET before NODE_ENV and && after the environment setting.

I.e. I replaced this:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "NODE_ENV=production nodemon -e js,pug ./bin/www",
    "test": "NODE_ENV=sandbox nodemon -e js,pug ./bin/www",
    "seed": "NODE_ENV=sandbox node ./bin/script/seed-data.js generate",
    "clear": "NODE_ENV=sandbox node ./bin/script/seed-data.js clear",
    "help": "NODE_ENV=sandbox node ./bin/script/seed-data.js --help"
  }

with this:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "SET NODE_ENV=production&& nodemon -e js,pug ./bin/www",
    "test": "SET NODE_ENV=sandbox&& nodemon -e js,pug ./bin/www",
    "seed": "SET NODE_ENV=sandbox&& node ./bin/script/seed-data.js generate",
    "clear": "SET NODE_ENV=sandbox&& node ./bin/script/seed-data.js clear",
    "help": "SET NODE_ENV=sandbox&& node ./bin/script/seed-data.js --help"
  }

And then run:

npm test    

And nodemon starts:

[nodemon] 2.0.7
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching path(s): *.*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,pug
[nodemon] starting `node ./bin/www`
Listening on http://localhost:3000

When I go to page in browser, I get error:

No valid customer retreived, this example only works with customers that have email information.

I looked at step 6 in the README which says:

[Optional] We provide a script you can use to quickly populate your sandbox store's subscription plans and customers with card on file. Run the script, wait for 30 seconds and refresh the page:

And ran:

$ npm run seed

Which returned:

> square-subscription-api-sample-app@1.0.0 seed D:\REPOS\connect-api-examples\connect-examples\v2\node_subscription
> SET NODE_ENV=sandbox&& node ./bin/script/seed-data.js generate

Hi @oshihirii,

This is a known issue that has been reported before but we are unable to reproduce it on our end. I'd like to investigate further. Would you kindly provide me with the terminal that you are running these commands in?

[oshihirii]

i am using Windows Terminal (Preview) and Git Bash is my default profile (from Git).

may I ask which issue you are referring to?

this issue started with 1) the NODE_ENV issue, but then there were two other issues described: 2) the app doesn’t load (error in browser) 3) npm run seed doesn’t work (error in terminal).

[oshihirii]

Update:

If I manually add clients to the sandbox environment, then the app loads when running:

npm test

However, when I click on one of the customer names, I get:

Error message in chrome dev tools is:

GET http://localhost:3000/management/some-code-here/some-code-here 500 (Internal Server Error)

This is a very old thread, but I had this issue when starting.

Simple solution is to remove the test script inside package.json and pass the NODE_ENV as a param to the env.json file instead like this:

package.json:

"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon -e js,pug ./bin/www",
    "test": "echo 'No tests found'",
    "seed": "node ./bin/script/seed-catalog.js generate",
    "clear": "node ./bin/script/seed-catalog.js clear",
    "help": "node ./bin/script/seed-catalog.js --help"
  },

env.json:

NODE_ENV=sandbox
SQ_APPLICATION_ID=your-application-id
SQ_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token

When you're ready to run in production you just change to NODE_ENV=production.
