Client install errors

SvendeKoning — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 14:54:18 GMT

I am new to experience builder and have some troubles getting started.

I tried to install the experience builder 1.13 as described here: https://developers.arcgis.com/experience-builder/guide/install-guide/

I managed to do the Server install and got it running on https://localhost:3001/

I got stuck at installing the Client install as described here:

Some warnings at the installation script:

And errors when started:

The file src/app.js as referenced in the package.json does not exists in the client source tree.

Any hints how to proceed?

Regards,

Gertwin

Do you have a custom widget already? According to your error you have a folder named osm-experiencebuilder. Directly inside that folder Experience Builder expects to find a file named manifest.json that must have a name property exactly matching the name of the folder, osm-experiencebuilder. Experience Builder is very picky about file names and structures and will not compile if they are not correct.

Yes, the name field in the manifest was different from the folder name.
Now it is building without errors and the widget is visible in Experience Builder.

Thank you!
