Hi STaylorY, I've been looking into this and it seems that the environment variables set by windows aren't what we were expecting. Unfortunately, we don't currently support running this on Windows and we don't plan on starting to support Windows at least not in the near future.

I recommend developing on either Mac or Linux if you plan on using CACCL. If you want to stick with Windows, I'd recommend using a bash shell: https://itsfoss.com/install-bash-on-windows/

If you're using Mac, Linux, or a bash shell and keep getting this error, please let me know!

P.S. I'm adding a note to the docs.

Hi Gabriel,
i have encountered the same issue when deploying the application to google app engine.
locally the app runs on my MAC OS just fine, but when deploying to google app engine nodejs application, i got the following error:
2020-07-06 20:40:46 default[20200706t233945] TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type undefined

Hi Lior,

Thank you for the detail you provided! I pushed a small fix that might work for the Google App Engine, though I am less familiar with that platform so could you test it out?

Please update to CACCL v1.1.26 and try again.

Looking forward to seeing how this goes :)

Best,
Gabe

Hi Gage,
thanks for your answer and fix!
well i haven't tried your fix yet, but i have found the cause of the error
apparently, when using the standard app engine (as opposed to the flexible app engine) there is no postscript running after the npm install to check for more depndencies to install. i uploaded the app to flexible app eninge (which costs money...) and all worked well :)
so this is the fix for the standard app engine: simply don't use it and deploy on flexible app engine...

btw, i have another question: i have deployed the app on heroku (piece of cake!!!) i have followed the instructions, set all config vars (CANVAS_HOST, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET) tho i'm not usin the API, and set the initCaccl to this:
// Initialize CACCL
const app = initCACCL({
disableAuthorization: true,
disableClientSideAPI: true,
disableServerSideAPI: true,
});

added and called the app from canvas. got this error: "Please launch this app via canvas" and set
any ideas?

thank you again for your time and for the amazing lib1 i've been through many libs but this one simpley works out of the box, it's truly amazing.
