SAFE API Playground - documentation issues with mock browser #318

Closed happybeing closed 6 years ago

happybeing commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to get mock working with the MaidSafe build of SAFE Browser (0.7.0 mock on Debian) and since I was having trouble, decided to follow How to develop for the SAFE Network (draft). I skipped past the bit about building SAFE Browser (mock) because I'm using MaidSafe's mock build.

I found two issues with instructions:

  1. The forum post (above link) says "Clone this repository" with a link that points to https://github.com/maidsafe/safe_examples/tree/master/safe_web_api_playground. Issue: you can't clone that repo, you have to clone safe_examples and then cd into safe_web_api_playgorund.

  2. Issue: safe_web_api_playground/README.md fails to mention two essential steps:

    • you must be using the SAFE Browser - mock build - to visit localhost:3003
    • before that will work, you must check that in the browser, File > SAFE Browsing Enabled is not checked. Until you do this the page won't load.

You are the best, Mark. Thank you for pointing all these small things that can cause confusion for many users. I've updated doc and am pushing PR now.
