Sencha Test Command - could not get it to work

[neha@telesoft]

Hi,
I am kind of stuck with the following error when I try to access the sencha test command.
I am on Windows 7.
I just typed stc on my command prompt .

C:\Users\nagarwal\Sencha\Test\2_1_1_31\stc\node_modules\orion-core\lib\xfs.js:1
obal.isSandbox?"sandbox-":"session-")+uuid.v1(),homeDir:new File(os.homedir())

I have installed node.js. It is added to the path too.
node version is - v0.12.2
and npm version is 2.7.4

I have no idea how to solve this error. I have tried uninstalling the node.js and reinstall but that didn't help me.

Thanks.

Please try installing a newer version of Node.js (version 8.x), from here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/.

Thanks.

Thank you for your quick response.

I had installed node.js from the same link but it seems it wasn't installing the npm or the node with the latest version.

I removed the directories for node.js from program files; deleted the npm directories from appdata\roaming. Run the node.js installer again.
The node.js is installed with the latest versions now.
node version - v8.9.1
npm version - 5.5.1


Now I get a new error when I run the stc command.

I found a reference to this error in another thread - https://www.sencha.com/forum/showthr...-fail-to-start

I am using Sencha app version 2.1.1.31 .
- What version of node is compatible with this version of stc?
- How do I use nvm to downgrade?

Thanks.

@Daniel FYI the docs recommend 6 or 7. If 8 is an option, might make sense to update.

From https://docs.sencha.com/sencha_test/...tallation.html
"To run STC, Node.js must be installed (version 6 or 7) and should be on the system PATH."

[neha@telesoft]

I installed the node.js version 6. That made the sencha test command line tool to work.

Thanks.

Thanks, glad to hear it's working.
