Node.js – Error ‘console’ is undefined
I just installed Node.js on a new system and wanted to make sure it worked. I tested it with a simple hello world script.
Contents of the node.js fileconsole.log("Hello node");
Then I attempted to run it:C:\>node node.js
Which produced the following error:Script: C:\node.js
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: 'console' is undefined
Code: 800A1391
Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error
Solution:
1. On the node.js file and right click -> properties
2. In front of Opens with: click on the 'change' button.
3. To change it from 'Microsoft script' host to Node.js:
a) click on 'more apps' -> scroll down and click on 'look for more apps on this PC' -> a window will pop up , in that go to the directory where 'nodejs' is installed in your PC. -> Windows(C:) -> Program Files(x86) -> nodejs -> click on the 'open' button -> click on 'node' Application file icon and finally click on 'open' again.
4. click on 'Apply' -> 'ok' buttons.
That's it.
