examples/systeminfo on Windows 10 doesn't appear to work (no Window is opened) about carlo

[pavelfeldman]

Systeminfo example is trying to store user settings under the user home folder. It is probably failing on Windows 10. Remove the following line from main.js there:

userDataDir: path.join(os.homedir(), '.carlosysinfo'),

Thanks for the response, I removed that line but the example still doesn't open a window. The Terminal example seems to function fine though.

[pavelfeldman]

Another thing that Terminal does is detaches itself from the shell via restarting itself, in the very beginning of main.js. Maybe that helps?

if (!process.env.CARLO) {
  child_process.spawn(process.argv[0], [__filename], {
     detached: true,
     env: { CARLO: 1, ...process.env }
  });
  process.exit(0);
  return;
}

I tried that but still, no window. Not sure what is going on. The example in the README works fine which is like a stripped down version of the systeminfo example. I'll try on another machine soon.

I'm going to close this as it works on my other Windows 10 computer. Weird! I'll try again later on my weird Windows Surface Book. One thing I have learned is that things behave very oddly on Windows Surface Books sometimes.

It works fine on surface book 1 here.

I deleted the repo, redownloaded and it worked fine. Not sure what was going on because I had already deleted several times and downloaded again. Anyway yes its working for me now.

I have the same problem, and I added some logging and here is the snapshot of my code.

Kindly omit my previous messages (that I deleted) about the localDataDir. It is an error on my part: the default location is within node_modules/carlo/lib and it is created there at startup time when no option is provided by script. I do not really know what happens in your case @liudonghua123 .
