Problem encountered installing and running

[bipinmehta]

Sir, I downloaded the zip of the repository and expanded the zip file. I opened the project in VSCode. As per the README.md I executed following steps:

1. npm install It installed with two problems: A. react-bootstrap-switch@3.4.6 requires a peer of react@0.14 || ^15.0.0 I installed react^15.0.0

   B. Output of problem { "resource": "/Users/bipin289/Desktop/Working-Dir/nodejs-usb-projects/Blink1Control2-2.2.4/package.json", "owner": "_generated_diagnostic_collectionname#3", "severity": 4, "message": "String does not match the pattern of \"^(?:@[a-z0-9-~][a-z0-9-.~]*/)?[a-z0-9-~][a-z0-9-.~]*$\".", "startLineNumber": 2, "startColumn": 11, "endLineNumber": 2, "endColumn": 27 }

Next I opened second integrated terminal and run: npm run watch & Result -> compiled successfully

Then from first terminal I ran the command: npm run startdev Result -> output is as shown in the attached screenshot. It is blank electron browser and therefore the source in inspect output is minimal.

My question is: Is this the output we should get on running the app?

Awaiting guidance. Regards

No that is not what you should see. You are running improper version of React.

npm install will install all dependencies required. I am unclear why you are getting that error. Please install from a git checkout not a zip.

To see Electron runtime errors, click on the Console tab in the Developer Tools window.

Sir, Thank you for the response. I reproduce below the output on console of Developer's tools:

Your setup seems to have a lot of strange behavior, producing non-typical errors.

What is your intended outcome? if you are looking for a pre-built version of Blink1Control2, you can find that in the releases section.

If you're looking to learn about how to use Electron with blink(1), I think a better place to start would be electron-blink1-toy at https://github.com/todbot/electron-blink1-toy
