Posted on by Microsoft Employee

As suggested here I open this issue here. Please refer to the OP, I don't want to repost everything.

 

tl;dr: cannot build sample iframe component, pcf-scripts not found

I have the same question (0)

    This usually happens if you are missing npm dependencies (pcf-scripts is one of them). Make sure you npm install went through fine and you have all dependencies installed inside node_modules folder insider your control pcf project.

    Hi! Are using the latest version of Power Apps Cli?

    Another thing, you wrote about the pac path. Can you provide for us the command line that are you executing to create the solution component?

    Hi and thanks for your responses.

     

    Deps are up to date and so is (was) the CLI the last time I tried. Please refer to the linked issue on GH.

    Steps are the ones from the tutorial.

    @Anonymous- First run the build on TS_IFrameControl and confirm that the project actually builds.

    Next confirm the cdsproj (used by MSBuild) has reference to your pcfproj.

    Next, open the TS_IFrameControl.pcfproj and update the version to 1.* from 0.*.

    Once you do that you should be able to build your assembly with "msbuild /restore".

    Thanks for the quick reply.

     

    I finally figured it out. While node_modules/.bin was populated all the scripts inside it were empty (for whatever reason). Deleting and npm i again didn't recreate .bin but a complete wipe of node_muldes and reinstall did it. I was then able to follow the last steps to create the zip.

     

    Thanks yall!
