PAC: npm start exited with code 1

Posted on by krombipils 19

Hi,

 

I'm trying to understand PCF and I'm following the 'Create your first component' tutorial. npm run build completes without errors, but I cannot debug my component. npm start complains about 'The specified codePath 'out\controls\TSLinearInputComponent' does not exist.'

But actually there is a out\controls\TSLinearInputComponent directory containing bundle.js and ControlManifest.xml.

Something wrong with my path environment settings? I'm developing on windows...

 

Thank you!

    Problem is solved. I was using a solution from https://stackoverflow.com/a/4896002/2075207 to setup the start directory for cmd.exe (I set this up a long time ago). Unfortunately this breaks node's process.cwd() and therefore the right directory wasn't found.
