Cannot start the development server #6

Closed thesauri closed 5 years ago

thesauri commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to get the development environment running locally to add proper vegan food parsing for Täffä. I have added a .env file with the following contents to the root folder:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql:///kanttiinit
SESSION_SECRET=randomstring
BOT_TOKEN=yetanotherrandomstring
ORIGINS=localhost

Once started, I repeatedly get the following error: Failed to fetch updates. Waiting: 1s 404: Not Found.

I have created a local PostgreSQL database with the name kanttiinit and PostgreSQl is running locally.

BOT_TOKEN was not mentioned in the README. However, I couldn't start the server at all without the token. Similarly, ORIGINS was marked as optional, but the server wouldn't start without any values.

Any advice?

@thesauri sorry about the poor documentation here; it's not up to date.

i've just pushed a commit to master that makes most environment variables optional in development mode. now you should only have to set DATABASE_URL in the .env file for a bare minimum working server. let me know if you run into further issues!
