Issue running ecommerce in development mode

[BbrSofiane]

Bug description

With the introduction of the ecommerce mfe, the development command:

tutor dev runserver ecommerce

Now starts the ecommerce mfe and without starting the e-commerce service.

Solution Change

"MFE_APP": {
    "name": "ecommerce",
    "repository": "https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-ecommerce",
    "port": 1996,
},

to

"MFE_APP": {
    "name": "ecommercemfe",
    "repository": "https://github.com/edx/frontend-app-ecommerce",
    "port": 1996,
},

@overhangio/tutor-developers what do you think?

hmmmm good catch. Yes, this is a bug.

The problem with your suggested solution is that it will cause the ecommerce MFE to be served from http://appsyourlms.com/ecommercemfe -- which is not great. I mean: I like your solution, but I think we should try to find a different name. The ecommerce MFE is itself not very well named; after all the only thing it does is to display the user order history. So, could we simply use "name": "orderhistory"?

[BbrSofiane]

True I didn't think about the URL.

I thought about calling it orderhistory but it means that if there is more functionality added to it we might have to change the name. I'm making the assumption that since edX called the repo frontend-app-ecommerce they might add functionality beyond order history.

But I think for now orderhistory sounds good!

Maybe "orderhistory" is overly precise and we could go with simply "orders"?
