Getting infinite loader when running the app locally. #142

Closed taprottoy closed 1 month ago

taprottoy commented 1 month ago

During initial set up, when running the extension locally, clicking on Run extension /Start debugging open the app on debugger but the extension keeps loading. It fails to load the extension due to this error. 

notificationsAlerts.ts:40 Error: Cannot find module '/Users/././././doclin/extension/dist/extension.js'
Require stack:
- /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/loader.js
- /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/bootstrap-amd.js
- /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/bootstrap-fork.js

Probable Fix: Make sure to run npm i in the extension directory. After the npm i click on Run extension/Start debuggin to run the app. If it still throws error, navigate to the doclin/extension/dist folder. If the extension.js and extesnion.map.js exists then re-run the debugger. Rerunning the debugger should run load the extension properly.

A missing step in README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md caused this issue. Under "Run the extension" we need to add these commands before running the debugger:

cd extension
npm install

Adding "good first issue" label to this.
