Installation guide composer based leads to subtheme gulp compile errors

[valica]

How to reproduce the problem:

Follow the guide from here: https://www.droptica.com/droopler/installation/ gulp compile is failing with multiple errors and also contains some deprecation warnings.

Is it a proper way to installe Droopler in recent version?

Kind regards Vlad VALICA

Hi, please paste the errors. Deprecations will be fixed in Droopler 3.1.

Hi, There are two problems: On the droptica website, at this URL: https://www.droptica.com/droopler/installation/

the installation steps are as following: $ composer create-project droptica/droopler-project droopler $ cd droopler $ composer drupal-scaffold $ composer install $ cd web/themes/custom/droopler_subtheme $ npm install $ npm install --global gulp-cli $ gulp compile

This leads to errors because the base theme is not compiled.

Then, if compiling the base theme and then the subtheme, there are indeed lots of warnings. When installing the site, ther eare the following steps:

Choose language -> OK Verify requirements (done) Set up database (done) Install site (done) Configure site (done) Enable additional components

Install additional components -> at this point, the following error occurs:

Installing selected components

Installation error. Please continue to the error page

An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 200 Debugging information follows.

The subtheme compile errors were seen once and then only lots of warnings are generated. However, after building, the error pasted here above is blocking. Nothing is starting.

Do you know when Droopler 3.1 is going to be released?

Kind regards,

Vlad
