Getting Started Problems

Confluence Development Confluence Cloud
1

Hello everyone,

I’m new to developing for Confluence Cloud and wanted to start by following the Tutorial Getting started with Connect (My goal is to develop Space Blueprint).
I installed everything and it seems to work until the point of “npm start”. I get the following error:

confluence-multipage-blueprint-example@0.0.1 start C:\Users\xxxdirectory
node app.js

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
throw err;
^

After hours of searching and trying to new-install npm several times I just can’t help myself but asking you for your brainpower. Is anyone familiar with this error and managed to solve it? (I have to develop on windows)

Sincerly

What is the output of running npm install and then npm start?

Thank you for your response!

The error message for npm install looks like this

PS C:\Users\Username\Documents\Blueprint\confluence-multipage-blueprint-example> npm install

Is it a Windows-only problem maybe?

Hi @ALR
We found out this tutorial is currently outdated. Thanks for pointing it out. We have picked it up to fix it and will try to make it live very soon.

Meanwhile, you can checkout out this repo with updated code for multipage blueprint. Please note, README of it is not updated yet.
