I am the author of this app. Sorry for this issue, and you can try to restart Splunk and refresh the page to make it work, and I am not aware that Splunk does not require restarting after installing this app (since I typically use symbolic link to install this app in my development environment).

I uploaded a new version (1.0.1) and you can download it and give it a try to see if it works for you. Thanks.

Thank you! And thanks for creating this app, I'm really looking forward to using it. I'll download the new version ASAP.

still having the effect. I'm installing it on Win8.1 using the default c:\program files directory. Does it have hardcoded directory paths or other environment dependencies?

I removed the single hardcoded path since v1.0.1 (which is not related to this problem I think). But it is true that I didn't get it tested on Windows and I only tested it in two Linux boxes and one Mac because I don't have a Windows 8.1 copy for me to test 😞

I will try to find a Windows environment to test it later.

I had this also - seems to be working now by removing the country in the path.

After clicking on editor, I changed my default URL from

http://HOSTNAME:8000/dj/en-us/mimosa/pipeline/ to

http://HOSTNAME:8000/dj/mimosa/pipeline/

Cheers
