missing build instructions?

[mrplow]

I feel a bit daft but I can't seem to get this to build following the instructions in the readme

mrplow@mrplow-desktop:~/StudioProjects/Rocket.Chat.Cordova$ cordova prepare -d Executing "before_prepare" hook for all plugins. Resolving module name for q => q Error: Cannot find module 'ticons' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:278:25) at Module.require (module.js:365:17) at require (module.js:384:17) at module.exports (/home/mrplow/StudioProjects/Rocket.Chat.Cordova/hooks/beforePrepare.js:8:15) at runScriptViaModuleLoader (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/cordova-lib/src/hooks/HooksRunner.js:167:18) at runScript (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/cordova-lib/src/hooks/HooksRunner.js:145:16) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/cordova-lib/src/hooks/HooksRunner.js:130:20 at _fulfilled (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:787:54) at self.promiseDispatch.done (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:816:30) mrplow@mrplow-desktop:~/StudioProjects/Rocket.Chat.Cordova$

even after installing ticons globally like below I still recieve the same error sudo npm install -g ticons

Compile without complications. alerts and errors that were appearing were for lack of dependence.

$ git clone repo
$ cd repo
$ npm install ticons
$ npm install underscore
$ npm install coffee
# need create www/shared/js/android_sender_id.js
# need create www/js/bugsnag_apikey.js
$ cordova platform add android
$ cordova build android

I update the build instructions: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/wiki/Build-the-Android-Cordova-Web-App-and-connect-to-your-own-Rocket.Chat-Server

There we go, that's much better.

Thank you very much @valessiobrito

[mrplow]

can you also update the main README.md? Also the wiki instructions state to install ticons, underscore, and coffee globally, that doesn't seem to work. The instructions on this ticket, installing them locally, do work

@valessiobrito / @mrplow created a PR with the instructions you guys listed here. Can you guys give it a once over and see if everything looks right?

A bit off, here are my steps that work. I don't know why but it doesn't build for me if I install ticons and underscore globally.

~$ rm -rf Rocket.Chat.Cordova/ ~$ git clone https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Cordova.git ~$ cd Rocket.Chat.Cordova/ ~/Rocket.Chat.Cordova$ npm install ticons underscore ~/Rocket.Chat.Cordova$ echo 'Bugsnag.apiKey = "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE";' > www/js/bugsnag_apikey.js ~/Rocket.Chat.Cordova$ echo 'window.ANDROID_SENDER_ID = "YOUR-ANDROID-ID-HERE";' > www/shared/js/android_sender_id.js ~/Rocket.Chat.Cordova$ cordova build android
