Variants are empty in development server

[smartchessguiapp]

It is not possible to test create seek and analysis board feature in development server, because variants are empty. Their description is missing and the variant combo box for creating a variant seek is also empty.

Did you populate the database ? If yes variants box shouldn't be empty.

Found some trivial errors, that made it impossible for the database to work. See pull request #13 .

After fixing these errors and checking that the database is populated, variants are still empty. From console eror log is seems that path /variants returns HTML instead of JSON, resulting in JSON parse error in store.js.

Hum, sounds like you may have not configured the parameters well. In local mode, mine are :

===== Client side ===== const Parameters = { socketUrl: "ws://localhost:3000", serverUrl: "http://localhost:3000", credentials: "include" };

===== Server side ===== siteURL: "http://localhost:8080", env: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development', cors: { enable: true, allowedOrigin: "http://localhost:8080", }, [...]

If all of them are good then I don't understand :/ Because /variants is a fetch request returning JSON (if the route is found).

Thanks for the clarification of config, that solved it. I now have variants, can issue seeks and analysis board works.

Well, for the most part, but https://github.com/yagu0/vchess/blob/1ad8802192781dde074aa4b9529bd65c405ccc6f/server/routes/news.js#L28 runs into an error, because it wants to return the timestamp of the last news, and there is no last news, as news are empty.

Ah ! I'll fix that "empty last news bug" right now :) Thanks.
