A JBrowse plugin for plotting GC content and GC skew
5 stars 2 forks source link

Can not use in JBrowse 1.14.1 #6

Closed billzt closed 6 years ago

billzt commented 6 years ago

When I turn on the plugin, the JBrowse instance crashes:

Failed to load resource: GCContent/View/Track/GCContentXY.

However, I confirm that GCContent/js/View/Track/GCContentXY.js exists

Can you detail your setup? It works ok for me. The only change after 1.14 is that you have to use a -dev build of jbrowse and rerun setup.sh after you come the repo to your plugin directory

billzt commented 6 years ago

Yes, Now I am running setup.sh, however it stops at installing node.js dependencies and building with webpack ... for more than half an hour...

Why the new version of Jbrowse is so difficult to use...

cmdcolin commented 6 years ago

I guess the main thing is that newer JBrowse switched to webpack for compiling and webpack needs to know about all modules at compile time (hence the need to rebuild jbrowse when adding a new plugin module).

If it is stuck, then you might consider cancelling build, rm -rf node_modules, and re-run setup.sh again! Hopefully the webpack build should be more painless because it is a more modern and nice system

Perhaps we can discuss more at https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/issues/1051
