Doesn't work (on win32)

[barneycarroll]

Hey @porsager I really like the look of this but can't seem to get it to work in any way shape or form.

I tried npm installing it (from github) as a dependency on a fresh project and writing my wright.js from scratch, but this yielded no results. I hacked about a bit, couldn't get anything to work. Later on I cloned the repo and installed all deps for the core package and the examples, and still nothing seems to happen beyond launching a chrome instance.

In each case a chrome instance is launched with 2 tabs: 1 at http://localhost:3000/ and 1 showing the dev tools at http://localhost:3001/devtools/inspector.html?ws=localhost:3002/devtools/page/{hash}.

No errors are reported (other than missing favicon, natch), and the loaded DOM is the same regardless of local files: an empty document with the title $ wright /{local_folder_name}. Changing local files doesn't produce any logs in the shell which originated the process, neither does the chrome runtime change at all. The only change I can produce is by reloading either chrome tab, which appends a style element to the head containing an embedded base64-encoded definition for a font-face assigned to wrightopensans.

I'm on a win32 windows machine which may account for something.

If I set debug to 2, I get the following logs. The oom_memory_details.cc(46) happen in slow succession and stop after a while but don't appear to be the result of any ostensible action on my part. 🤔

Hi Barney..

To start the mithril example could you try to run it like this from the mithril directory?

npm run rollup

Running wright without any arguments as you do in the gif will not do anything currently, but I'm planning to make it start a small interactive guide to walk you through setup for your own environment.

I just updated the readme to have the correct command as well. I changed the mithril example to contain rollup, webpack and browserify examples which is a bit confusing, but I finally have time to do some more work on wright this week.

Right — it's all working great now :)

Thanks!

[porsager]

Great :)

Would love to hear how it works out for you..
