Here are the changed values of my two config.js
files by the way. Slightly edited for security. The API is hosted on port 3000 and the client on port 8080.
Client:
module.exports = {
TEST_SERVER: "http://localhost:3000",
COUCHDB_HOST: "localhost",
COUCHDB_PORT: "5984",
COUCHDB_SERVER: "localhost:5984",
COUCHDB_ADMIN_USERNAME: "REDACTED",
COUCHDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD: "REDACTED",
// The rest is unchanged
};
Server:
module.exports = {
COUCHDB_USER: "REDACTED",
COUCHDB_PASS: "REDACTED",
URL_ROOT: "http://localhost:3000",
// The rest is unchanged
};
Try these:
Client:
TEST_SERVER: "http://localhost:3000",
COUCHDB_HOST: "localhost",
COUCHDB_PORT: "5984",
COUCHDB_SERVER: "http://localhost:3000/db",
Server:
URL_ROOT: "http://localhost:3000",
3rd-party stuff should just fail silently if it's not enabled. Let me know if that helps.
Thanks, but I still get the error from before:
POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/signup 405 (Method Not Allowed)
How do you personally host/open the client when running locally? Maybe it's something with the http-server
I'm using.
Ah, I got it π
The server hosts the client as well, not just the API. Since it is in two separate projects, I assumed that it needed to be hosted separately as well, but I see now that the server assumes that there's a sibling folder named client
.
I get a different kind of error now, but now I can actually get to debug that. Thanks for your patience!
I got it fully working now π I also had to enable the couch_peruser
option in CouchDB, but after that, it worked. I can submit a PR, adding what I did to CONTRIBUTING.md, if you want?
Great! Glad you figured it out.
Yes, a PR to Contributing would be very helpful... I forget all the little setup steps that are needed, since it's been so long since I had to do them :slightly_smiling_face:
Hey there. I would really like to contribute to Gingko, but I have hit a wall trying to set up the local version of the app. Most of this applies to both the client and server projects. A few of the things I have done so far:
config.js
file, based on theconfig.example.js
file.At this point, I'm running into two (perhaps related) problems:
First of all, I'm not sure what to put in a fair number of the config fields. Especially the ones related to third-party services. How many of those are needed for local development?
My second problem is that I can't seem to use any of the API endpoints, so I can't sign up and use the app. Here's a screenshot, as well as the error I get.
My best guess is that the client assumes that the API is located on the same domain as the client. I thought I would be able to change this with the
config.js
file, but I had no luck doing so. I also haven't worked with Elm before, so maybe there's something I'm missing.I'm curious, what does your local setup look like? Could you perhaps help me set mine up? Perhaps we can improve the documentation based on some of this.
Love the app, and would love to help improve it!
