Upon bulding a power apps code component with

 

 

npm run build

 

 

I get the error:

operable program or batch file.

 

I also tried:

 

npm i -g

    So you've done a global instead of a local?

    So you ran:

    pac pcf init --namespace [ControlNameSpace] --name [ControlName] --template [dataset OR field]

    And then just:

    npm install

     

    Before you tried to build?

    Hi @skoofy5

     

    Thanks for helping. I am trying to install a code component.

     

    fter many hours of hair-pulling, I'm now trying to install this component.

     

    Specifically, NumberButtonSelector.

     

    I just want to install it, I don't even dream of developing one myself.

     

    Steps:

    1- Created NumberButtonSelector folder

    2- Opened foder with VSCode

    3- Ran pac pcf init --namespace Nuno --name NumberButtonSelector --template field

    4- Downloaded code from NumberButtonSelector into NumberButtonSelector/NumberButtonSelector folder

    5- Ran npm install

    6- Ran npm run build

    7- Got the error "no-used-vars" which I've fixed as per your post

    8- Now, I'm getting the error:

     

     

    C:\Users\nuno_\Documents\NumberButtonSelector>cd NumberButtonSelector
    
    [22:58:42] [build] Validating control...
    [22:58:43] [build] Running ESLint...
    [22:58:44] [build] Failed:
    [pcf-1065] [Error] ESLint validation error:
    C:\Users\nuno_\Documents\NumberButtonSelector\NumberButtonSelector\index.ts
     2:10 warning 'debug' is defined but never used no-unused-vars
     3:10 warning 'timingSafeEqual' is defined but never used no-unused-vars
     29:24 error 'EventListenerOrEventListenerObject' is not defined no-undef
     30:22 error 'EventListenerOrEventListenerObject' is not defined no-undef
     31:22 error 'EventListenerOrEventListenerObject' is not defined no-undef
    
    ✖ 5 problems (3 errors, 2 warnings)

     

     

    So now the error is on NumberButtonSelector\NumberButtonSelector\index.ts

    Because it's typescript you should probably just turn off the no-undef rule (see here: https://typescript-eslint.io/docs/linting/troubleshooting/#i-get-errors-from-the-no-undef-rule-about-global-variables-not-being-defined-even-though-there-are-no-typescript-errors)

     

    Add this to you eslintrc.json file under your "no-unused-vars" rule.

     

     'no-undef': 'off'
