'pcf-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command

[WebPortal]

I have the following installed on Windows 11:

• Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
• node.js
• Microsoft Power Platform CLI
• Visual Studio 2022 for Windows & Mac.
• Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022.

Upon bulding a power apps code component with

npm run build

I get the error:

> numberbuttonselector@1.0.0 build
> pcf-scripts build

'pcf-scripts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I also tried:

npm i -g

So you've done a global instead of a local?

So you ran:

pac pcf init --namespace [ControlNameSpace] --name [ControlName] --template [dataset OR field]

And then just:

npm install

Before you tried to build?

Hi @skoofy5

Thanks for helping. I am trying to install a code component.

fter many hours of hair-pulling, I'm now trying to install this component.

Specifically, NumberButtonSelector.

I just want to install it, I don't even dream of developing one myself.

Steps:

1- Created NumberButtonSelector folder

2- Opened foder with VSCode

3- Ran pac pcf init --namespace Nuno --name NumberButtonSelector --template field

4- Downloaded code from NumberButtonSelector into NumberButtonSelector/NumberButtonSelector folder

5- Ran npm install

6- Ran npm run build

7- Got the error "no-used-vars" which I've fixed as per your post

8- Now, I'm getting the error:

C:\Users\nuno_\Documents\NumberButtonSelector>cd NumberButtonSelector

[22:58:42] [build]  Validating control...

  31:22  error    'EventListenerOrEventListenerObject' is not defined  no-undef

✖ 5 problems (3 errors, 2 warnings)

So now the error is on NumberButtonSelector\NumberButtonSelector\index.ts

Because it's typescript you should probably just turn off the no-undef rule (see here: https://typescript-eslint.io/docs/linting/troubleshooting/#i-get-errors-from-the-no-undef-rule-about...)

Add this to you eslintrc.json file under your "no-unused-vars" rule.

 'no-undef': 'off'
