A junior Rails developer presents troubleshooting tips and tricks geared towards developers who are new to the Hyrax stack. When I first started development work on Hyrax projects about a year ago, I felt completely overwhelmed. There were so many more moving parts compared to the Rails applications I had worked on previously that wrapping my head around everything took time. Fast-forward a year and, through trial and error, I’ve become one of the main developers responsible for bringing new hires up to speed on the basics of Hyrax at my company. To assist with this, I’ve compiled a list of troubleshooting “gotchas” that I’ve encountered across a handful of Hyrax applications to familiarize new developers with the engine as well as minimize the amount of time spent on errors. Whether it’s trying to customize elements that come directly from Hyrax or hunting down Missing Translation errors, this is a list of tips, tricks, and strategies that I wish I had known when I first started working with the Hyrax stack.
