Onboarding?

[lw1990]

Can someone explain the steps for setting up a development environment for this project?

[ddugovic]

I've started on https://github.com/ddugovic/lichocker/tree/openjdk-draughts but still have work to do...

[lw1990]

I noticed that, but that doesn't even explain how to get it working without docker. It seems as if lichess is designed to be developed with linux, and lidraughts is designed to be developed with windows (out of the box). lidraughts has dev.bat and build.bat, which are windows files.

I have windows 10, and all of the 'prerequisites' from lichess (windows) onboarding like sbt, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I tried following the lichess (windows) onboarding closely except modifying for lidraughts (for example, in the application.conf and nginx server block)

The app compiles and at localhost:9663 I can see the empty dashboard/lobby, but I can't start a match or do anything like register (mongod and nginx are both running, I've set up lichess before)

The problem seems to be ui/build.bat, which throws a bunch of errors pasted below The errors suggested I needed typescript, I installed that npm install -g typescript The errors suggested I needed gulp, I installed that again and even did npm link gulp in the lidraughts directory Still the same result happened (exact same error log pasted below)

all the steps of https://github.com/ornicar/lila/wiki/Lichess-Development-Onboarding-(Windows) should work for lidraughts

I think the problem is that you're not running the script from the project root, e.g. try C:\git\lidraughts>.\ui\build.bat

Running the script from the project root was the fix, thanks!
