Vaadin Designer Inactive #2378

I did not find anywhere instructions on how to use Vaadin Designer. So I followed [your

youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0SrFD9NlRo).

(A) Created a Spring Boot project with Vaadin dependency. Curious: I would expect to get at sample HTML page. Nope I get the message: Reason: Couldn't find route for '', in fact I see there are no routes. So I was going to define one trying the designer.

(B) In Idea I choose New > Vaadin10 Design at project popup menu. I get a dialog (Screenshot1) and I submit it.

(C) I get an absolutely empty panel nothing to drag nothing to do, well different from the one of the video (Screenshot2).

I am using Vaadin 14 and you can easily reproduce the problem repeating above steps.

Do you have the Designer-Plugin itself installed? Also you need to have the Chrome-Browser installed on your Computer: https://vaadin.com/docs/v14/designer/getting-started/designer-setting-up-your-environment.html#installing-google-chrome Here is the Documentation for Vaadin 14: https://vaadin.com/docs/v14/designer/getting-started/designer-what-is-designer.html There is also some information on how to use the Designer on this Site.

Yes, it is installed (guess it wouldn't ask to open it otherwise) and apparently it works in the Bakery example. I also installed my pro license in .vaadin directory. I suspect the problem was the way the project was generated it does not have the directories of the Bakery examples. I generated it with Spring Boot starter asking to include Vaadin dependency (under Idea) but I noticed it incomplete in respect to other Boot starter profiles (for example missing GIT).

To get started with Vaadin Designer it's good to start with the tutorial as mentioned above.

Notice also that since Vaadin Designer 4.6.5 you do not need to install Google Chrome anymore, but Designer works inside the IDE (Chrome option is available though).

Closing.
