NPM has a problem with authenticated proxies with HTTPS, isaacs/npm#2866. so I had to config the registry as as http and add in my proxy credentials. This took about 2 hours to figure out. But then things went well for the install.
Sorry for this issue, but seems there's not much we can do about it, except document it. Could you describe how you configured your proxy?
I have an existing project on my G: drive (not C:) the only way could import it was create a directory junction on a folder in the C: drive
I pushed a fix for this. There's now a "Drive" link that allows you to change the partition on Windows.
I am running win7, and Chrome, latest commercial version of KendoUI (for the next points) I am using notepad++ for the editor (I have VS2012, but the install did not set it up). I generally use that as my editor, but I don't know if you support that.
The Bootstrapper should detect Notepad++ if it's present. Nope, it won't detect VS for now but you can configure the editor manually.
I do not have an index.html file. My app starts as Sherlock.html. I did not see a way to set that as the startup page.
Indeed, the preview button will take you to the root of the project and serve index.html
if it's present. We'll make that configurable. In the mean time, to preview you can click on the Sherlock.html link directly.
Am I supposed to add png, jpg, ico files to the project importer? I did this, since they are important. But I had no clue if this was needed?
Nope, it's not necessary and not recommended. The image optimizer will find all images in the project directory, even if they're not managed by the bootstrapper.
Do I understand Live Preview? I edited my HTML file and saved the result (Notepad++) but the change was not updated in Chrome. I had to do a refresh.
Note that the bootstrapper knows which files are needed in each page via dependencies. You should use the dependency system in the bootstrapper rather than manually place <script>
and <link>
tags to load the resources. If deps are not listed, then there's no live preview... I'm assuming this is the problem.
Check the small icon that looks like a link in the files view (second icon the group).
I am not sure where it is putting the compiled, minified, and build stuff. My assumption this is all stored in a temp cache, and to get results, I have to bundle and create a zip. Is that correct? (this would be good to put int he documentation).
The compiled/minified files are generated when you click "Compile" or "Bundle". Each minified file is placed in the same directory as the original source, but the name is changed from i.e. .js
to .min.js
.
Not closing this ticket until I address these issues.. Thanks for your feedback!
You can drop these in a trash can if you want, but I love you guys, and I thought I would write up my experiences, which others might encounter.
