Files all over my pc keep copying on the desktop - javascript

i am running windows 11, xampp 8.2.0
Approx. once in a week files from xampp mostly from htdocs but also files from downloads directory appears on my desktop. Sometimes when i either run servers with xampp or after turning on my laptop files are copied to the desktop. After a while I noticed these files are copied into my onedrive storage as well. I am not sure what is causing the copying whether onedrive or xampp but if i remember correctly it started misbehaving after downloading xampp though i am not sure about this one as it has beeen a year since acting like this.
I am able to delete the files but they occasionally keep getting back. So I have tried shift + del all the files on my desktop and also delete the files on cloud, though it did not help. I also have tried to reinstall xampp with different version several times which worked for me neither.
As I have not found anyone encountering similar problems I hope someone would be willing to help me resolve the issue. Thanks in advance!!!

Error when trying to run JS in VScode for the first time (newbie)

So i just installed VScode on my Windows 10. I keep getting the following error:
"Can't find Node.js binary "node": path does not exist. Make sure Node.js is installed and in your PATH, or set the "runtimeExecutable" in your launch.json"
I've tried reinstalling VS and rebooting, tried installing from different folders (both on C drive and the second time i added it to my programs folder)
I tried installing a node.js extension which fails every time and then prompts me to try it manually...which then leads to a file downloading automatically, but when i add it to my VS folder through my file explorer, nothing happens still.
I tried installed a different node.js debugger
I tried changing my debugger to chrome too but all it does is take me to localhost:8080 and an empty page of course.
When i go through file explorer and look through the path of my .vscode folder, the nightly extension (node.js) is there....
I'm new to VScode and have just been using Scrimba's terminal to do my code but decided to try something more professional
I think you're putting node.js in the same folder/path as .vscode, this isn't correct. What you need to do is set node.js in your PATH which is different. See this answer for more information on how to set PATH/environment variables. Also install it from the official website nodejs.org. After changing your PATH remember to reboot.
I wouldn't recommend downloading "node.js extensions" as those likely are not legitimate, and as you've said yourself they don't work. Only download from the official website.
You have to install nodes from this website https://nodejs.org/

Gatsby hot reloading does not reload in the Hello World starter project

Description
I am following along with the instructions here: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-one/
When I start the dev server and make a change to src/pages/index.js it is not hot reloaded in my browser.
Steps to Reproduce
Using gatsby-cli:
gatsby new hello-world https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world
cd hello-world
gatsby develop
change the text inside of the div in src/pages/index.js
Expected Result
Page would automatically reload with new text.
Actual Result
Page would not change unless a manual refresh was applied in the browser.
Specs
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS running in WSL on Windows 10 Pro
Node: 12.12.0
NPM: 6.11.3
Gatsby CLI: 2.8.8
Gatsby: 2.17.6
Browsers: Chrome 77.0.3865.120, IE 11.1006.17134.0, Firefox 70.0
I've tried multiple browsers with the same result so I ran devtools in firefox and examined the console output when I make a change and I see this error:
The connection to http://localhost:8000/__webpack_hmr was interrupted while the page was loading. client.js:88
[HMR] Update check failed: hotDownloadManifest/</request.onreadystatechange#http://localhost:8000/commons.js:42:16
process-update.js:147
Error: Manifest request to /d528b21bff3fd2caa92d.hot-update.json timed out. bootstrap:41
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at http://localhost:8000/__webpack_hmr. client.js:88
I've also looked around on github and here and haven't found a solution to my problem. Any ideas on a workaround, solution, or insight into why this might not be working for me would be greatly appreciated!
I was having same problems. Gatsby Develop hot reload was not working whenever I made changes to files, plus, Gatsby Develop was terribly slow to compile code and get the dev server up and running. I found out that if I create my Gatsby project in Linux directory structure instead of Windows, everything works out good and is blazing fast. So my solution was following.
Create your project in /home/<your_username> directory in WSL. Simply go to /home/<your_username> and make a folder there with mkdir; go to that folder and then run Gatsby create my_project command in that folder.
That way your project will reside in Linux directory structure, making everything run smoothly.
I faced the similar scenario today. Below steps made it work however warning message is persistent in the console.
Delete package.lock.json and node_modules folder
Delete the content present inside C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\npm and npm-cache
Do a npm i.
Im running gatsby develop on windows. After trying many things, including wsl, npm clenaup etc, I realized that my antivirus sophos was blocking the webpack hot reload socket __webpack_hmr.
All I had to do is to disable the antivirus for a while. ( You are free to uninstall it or maybe change to another one ).
hope it works for you ;)

Cordova 404 on js files 3 levels down

I am using Cordova with a Browser build. Project consists of a html page plus many js files in a directory structure 3 levels deep. I get 404 error for all script tags referencing files in the third level. All other script tags work ok. The project works fine outside of Cordova. I have checked all similar Cordova 404 problems on StackOverflow. Most refer to whitelist which I have checked/changed/re-checked.
The problem was an unused level 3 Test directory I had in my source. When I ran: cordova run browser, it silently choked on this directory and then stopped copying any more directories.
I removed the Test directory and all worked fine.
Sure, I am an idiot for not noticing this to start with but since I wasted so much time on it I thought I would post this to help others.

CodeKit stopped "watching" folders for file changes, why?

I love CodeKit, but for some reason, it stopped "watching" for changes to the files in the folder I placed in there. I double checked the project configuration to make sure the output paths are correct, but when I make a change to any of the files being watched, CodeKit does nothing -- no minifying, syntax checking, compiling down .scss files to .css.
As the developer suggested to "refresh" CodeKit, I launched the app while holding down shift and sure enough CodeKit opened with no projects. So I re-added the project, and still, it is not watching the files. Has anybody ever encountered this with CodeKit?
I have experienced a similar issue before and it was because in the codekit project I had included the images folder and I generated a huge amount of .png images. Every time codekit ran it got hung up processing the pngs trying to compress them.
Try putting your images folder outside of your codekit project directory and see if that helps.
I've been having the same problem lately (Version 2.1.9). I haven't managed to figure out the root cause as yet, but I have figured out a way to solve this issue every time it occurs.
Rename your parent folder that contains all of your CodeKit projects. E.g. my HTDocs equivalent folder is called "Sites". In Terminal do this:
mv sites sites_temp
mv sites_temp sites
The first line will rename your sites folder to sites_temp, and then the second line will do the opposite.
For some reason this works every time for me.
I've written a short blog post on this matter here, but to be honest the above is my go-to solution whenever this problem occurs: http://www.joetannorella.com/codekit-mac-auto-compiling-compass-upon-file-change/

How do I fix PhoneGap build errors?

I am trying to build a PhoneGap-based iPhone application, but I keep getting the following two errors:
./build-phonegap.sh: line 6: ./configure: No such file or directory
cp: lib/iphone/phonegap-min.js: No such file or directory
I built and installed the latest version of PhoneGap from the source on GitHub. I have checked to make sure that the PHONEGAPLIB variable is indeed set in XCode.
Where do I get the files listed? Where do I put them (to what are those paths relative)? And why aren't they already there?
Later
It seems the problem was that the project had been created with one version of PhoneGap (one that doesn't reference an external lib directory), but I was trying to run it with a newer one. Recreating the project with my latest version and copying over the www directory fixed the problem.
I am confused. What steps do I take? I just downloaded phonegap. I don't know how to "install" it. Do I have to run some git command or some build command before I can open it in xcode?
UPDATE:
Figured it out. I downloaded it. Unzipped it. Went into the phonegap folder. Duplicated the iphone folder. Opened xcode and hit build and go. It worked.
Apparently your iphone gap projects need to be a subfolder of the phonegap folder. That can probably be fixed/changed if you know what you're doing.
This video here helped me verify that all you need to do is download, unzip and open. The files inside your www do work by default.
