Initial developer environment doesn't allow member registration

[bfinney-thoughtworks]

Expected behaviour:

After setting up a development environment as per the instructions, I should be able to visit the front-end page and register as a new user.

• Create a fresh development environment according to the README.md in this repository.
• Visit the root URL of the development server, e.g. http://localhost:3000/
• Fill in the registration form and select “Register” button. The response should indicate the registration is successful.

Actual behaviour:

• The response shows “There was an error saving your changes”.
• The server console shows the error “info Failed to validate member: Unknown branchId”.

The server log message is emitted from ‘backend/src/controllers/membersController.js’ when the request body attribute ‘branchId’ is not found in the data store.

I suspect there is some additional set-up required – e.g. populating a database, or configuring the front-end so that it supplies the correct branchId – that is not yet documented correctly.

My mistake. This is done by yarn seed which is documented; I had accidentally reset my environment but had not seeded the environment again.
