Node for Max - node process manager not running

It sounds like there's a syntax error in the code you are trying to run. It would be helpful to see the node console, you can see that if you use the node.script debugging tool. You can find the debugging tool in the [node.script] helpfile. It's a bpatcher you can copy to your patch and connect to your [node.script]. To see the console click the button on the top right corner of the debugging tool.

Hello Dimitri,

Thank you for answering. I believe the debugging tool is already in the patch I'm using. I comes from there, I didn't modify it : https://github.com/avantcontra/osc-websocket-example/tree/master/max

Here is a screenshot, the debug console says empty when I press any button ('npm install', 'start', 'reboot'...)

I guess the problem comes from my machine, I'm already using npm for several websites. Maybe Max isn't allowed to access npm or to start anything. I've tried a global installation of node process manager, without success.

I also installed it in that folder with the terminal, it successfully reads the package.json.

Hi S4I KO.

Unless I'm misremembering this already came up on the Github repo, where we suggested to get in touch with the Cycling '74 support? It appears that the Process Manager itself that Node for Max uses internally is failing to start on your machine, which hints at nothing being wrong with your scripts but something else blocking it.

To confirm are you able to open the node.script help patch and start the examples in there? The easiest way is to just open the node.script help file and see if you use the script start and script stop messages in the basic tab successfully. (debug tool shows a green success banner).

If not please get in touch with support, who will help figuring out further what might be at odds here as it might in fact be specific to your environment.

As an aside - no additional or even machine wide install of Node, NPM or any other tool is required and you don't have to use the terminal. In fact, Max ships with everything necessary to run node.script.

Dear Florian,

Indeed, I also asked it in Github. I got the email notification from your answer, I assumed it came also from here, I forgot I did also ask on Github...

I can't open any script, in the node.script help patch as well.

I will contact the support right now to figure out what can be going wrong. Sorry for the duplicate topic on both plateforms.

Hey, did you find any solutions on this? I'm experiencing the same issue although I'm running Max with Ubuntu via Wine.
