error: Recipe `init` failed on line 66 with exit code 1

Reproduction

1. `just down`
2. `just frontend/up` and right after `just frontend/init`
3. See the error above.

Fix

Add a "wait for" recipe that waits for Plausible to be available before running setup_plausible.sh similar to the docker/es/wait-for-index recipe.

how to run it on my machine to check for error? I opened localhost: 50288 by ctrl + click. now how to run it like whats the command to run it?

@YashGaur000 I'm not sure what you're asking exactly. The steps to reproduce the issue are in the description. You do not need to click any links to reproduce the problem. Can you clarify your understanding of the issue and what you are trying to do?

[YashGaur000]

where to write 'just down'? in terminal of VS? or in git bash? i don't know how to run it and how to reproduce it. Do I need to setup my machine for it to run?

if there's anything silly mistake/ wrong setup or anything worst silly mistake I'm doing then please tell me. I wanna know it so that I wont repeat those again.

I guess I have to make changes the marked area. Am I right?

Please give some brief steps please

Please follow the general setup guide for working with Openverse locally: https://docs.openverse.org/general/general_setup.html

Note that Openverse does not support development directly on Windows. The linked guide recommends using WSL. Additionally, the changes required for this issue are more complex than what you are describing. As the issue describes:

Add a "wait for" recipe that waits for Plausible to be available before running setup_plausible.sh similar to the docker/es/wait-for-index recipe.

This will require a new just recipe to wait for plausible (added to a new docker/plausible/justfile or to the frontend/justfile). The new recipe must be called before setup_plausible.sh is called by the frontend justfile's init recipe to ensure Plausible is running.
