browser-bootstrap-from-source does not work #1

Closed JensLincke closed 8 years ago

I had problems using the packaged version of lively-modules... with karma so I wanted to debug it and use the bootstrapped version. But this failed also:

What I did:

Installed the repo

git clone https://github.com/LivelyKernel/lively-system-examples.git
npm install

Served the directory....

http-server

Got the following error:

system.src.js:1059 GET http://localhost:8080/node_modules/lively.modules/node_modules/lively.vm/package.json 404 (Not Found)

The issue with karma btw was that lively.modules conflicted with the 

frameworks: ['requirejs'],

option in the karma.conf.js

That isn't really an issue with lively.modules but with npm, it puts the dependent packages in different places depending on the tree of dependencies. This is ugly but as long as we want to use npm for dependency installation unavoidable. With lively.next we will probably go a different route in the future. Anyway, I fixed the issue that made the example not run.

Apart from that, I would suggest following the browser or browser-bootstrap examples instead of browserbootstrap-from-source. The former ones are a lot simpler to implement. The latter is just there so we still remember how we got there ;)

I have no experience with karma or what a setup with it involves. For testing we use mocha-es6, our own wrapper around mocha that is aware of lively.modules. This covers all of our needs at this point (running tests in lively + in browser + in node.js).

To retry the example issue please also run npm update as a dep in lively.vm needed fixing as well.
