Are the README.md Steps Still Valid?

[johnjvester]

I have attempted to use this repository in both an existing Developer org (that I have been using since ~2015) as Package and using the SFDX commands in a scratch org.

• The package option always fails to show the option where I can select the card type and match up backlog items to a given game. Going to the Host Planning Poker screen is merely a header. I am logged in using the same user and I feel like I tried to install the package for Admins Only and for All Users with the same results. I cannot get far enough to see if running anonymous clients in Heroku is going to work.

• The SFDX option allows me to start hosting a game in a scratch org and I can connect using Salesforce clients. However, the Heroku logs show I am getting a 500 error when trying to connect to the scratch instance. I am certain I have followed all the instructions, but feel like there is a step missing. Here is an example of the Heroku logs:

I really would like to get this running, so that I can write a DZone.com article about how you have made a very practical Salesforce solution which can leverage Heroku as well.

Also, one thing that is not clear for me is the required SF_NAMESPACE for the SFDX option. Looking at the referenced JSON, it looks like the value should be set to null. Is that correct? (I have tried setting this to nothing (null) and also leaving the default - neither changed what I was seeing in the Heroku logs)

Thank you for your time! jv

Hey - That is strange - I just installed the app on a Trailhead Playground using the link on the Readme file, and it works fine. The Heroku app works too. Can you try creating a new org and give it a try? Or we can get onto a call to figure it out.

Regarding the SF_NAMESPACE - For the SFDX option, you can leave it blank by default, but even with SFDX you have the option to put a namespace in the sfdx-project.json file, and once you push the files to a scratch org, the files take the namespace specified.

Using a Trailhead Playground and the package option worked for me. Thank you so much for your time!
