How to run RedwoodHQ from source code?

[damien122]

Hi, I got a strange error when I try to start RedwoodHQ from the latest source code. When I run node ./app.js then I got an strange error.

error in store.js at line 35

TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> (c:\GIT\RedwoodHQ\node_modules\socket.io\lib\store.js:35:41)
    at Module._compile (module.js:569:30)

    at Object.<anonymous> (c:\GIT\RedwoodHQ\node_modules\socket.io\lib\manager.js:16:13)
    at Module._compile (module.js:569:30)

I have installed node.js version 8.0 (last release) and execute nmp install previous.

Unfortunatelly I also can't find any further information how to run the framework from source code. Also I can't find a requirement list for a dev environment.

Could you please help me?

Regards Damien

anybody??

Download and install the software then overlay the git repo source on top of the installed software. Its the best way to ensure you have all the dependencies installed.

As well, this question is better asked in the Google forum for RedwoodHQ: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/primatest-automation

[damien122]

@wolterskluwer-redwoodhq Ok thanks I will try. Did you still use Redwood at your company?

[ghost]

@damien122 yes we do. It is the platform all the teams use to develop and run test (and other) automation.

[damien122]

@wolterskluwer-redwoodhq did you use Redwood also for controlling VMs? or did you have Machines which are never shut down or reseted?

We run agents inside docker containers. The whole thing is orchestrated via our CI system.

@damien122 - Were you able to run the source code? If so how? and can you please help with this regard?

[damien122]

@mohitrathi92 sorry I can't remember. It is a long time ago.

[mohitrathi92]

Oki no problem, thanks for your response :)
