Hello @bizsplunk,

as you are running npm on windows, please check if the package.json file, the $SPLUNK_HOME is replaced by %SPLUNK_HOME%

[bizsplunk]

Hi @poete, how to check it ?

[poete]

@bizsplunk,
locate the package.json file at the root of your viz directory, and open it with a test editor.

Then, you should finf lines like :

"scripts": {
    "build": "%SPLUNK_HOME%/bin/splunk cmd node ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js",
    "devbuild": "%SPLUNK_HOME%/bin/splunk cmd node ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress",
    "watch": "%SPLUNK_HOME%/bin/splunk cmd node ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js -d --watch --progress"
  },

i repalced and now it says that :
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
i used this command for my splunk_home variable:
setx $SPLUNK_HOME "C:\Program Files\Splunk"

[poete]

@bizsplunk,
most probably, the environment variable breaks one the space between Program and Files. Can you try to set SPLUNK_HOME with double quotes and run npm again?

[bizsplunk]

already done it - setx $SPLUNK_HOME "C:\Program Files\Splunk"
same error 😞

[poete]

@bizsplunk,

do the same without the $

[bizsplunk]

@poete ,
same error

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1

[poete]

@bizsplunk,
what is the result of echo %SPLUNK_HOME%?

[bizsplunk]

@poete,
result is :
C:\Program Files\Splunk

[bizsplunk]

i replaced and then run "npm run build" command and now it says that
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! standin@1.0.0 build:%$SPLUNK_HOME%/bin/splunk cmd node ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js
