Small mistake in README ?

[udiedrichsen]

Hi,

Great job with this REPO. Good stuff and awesome docs: +1

I followed your description, but is a small typo:

cp src/config.sample.js src/config.js

I think it must be:
cp src/config.sample.js src/config

Or you have to change to src code:
in src/auth/jwt_strategy.js
..
var Config = require('../config'),

to
var Config = require('../config.js'),

I change the cp statement and the deployment on my own openshift domain works.

I got this error message:
remote: Application 'mysnowflake' failed to start (port 8080 not available)
remote: -------------------------
remote: Git Post-Receive Result: failure

So I checked the app logs with: rhc tail -a mysnowflake

@udiedrichsen Thanks for the complement!

The cp src/config.sample.js src/config.js is correct. When a require is used for a JS file, the extension .js is assumed and is not necessary. So var Config = require('../config') is working as designed.

As to the failure on Openshift, what you can do is

rhc ssh mysnowflake
...
cd app-root/logs/ 
less nodejs.log (or whatever tool you prefer)

The nodejs.log will contain the error - it's the best source for determining what goes wrong when the app fails to start as it's the same log you see when running locally.

But I do see the following from your notes:

[WARNING] 027/082720 (334524) : Server express/local-gear is DOWN for maintenance.

You might want to just the following again

git push origin master

Let me know if you have problems.

[udiedrichsen]

Thx for the fast feedback. Sorry I copied only a part of the console err log :-(

[udiedrichsen]

After changing the filename from config.js to config, it works for me.
Maybe my openshift app is different.

[bartonhammond]

You must have changed something else somewhere.

You'll notice throughout the entire application the extension js is never used and that is the standard.

In fact, look at jwt-strategy.js and a couple of lines down is

redisClient = require('../database/redis')

and there is no js extension there either.

[udiedrichsen]

No, I just followed step by step your instructions.
Yes, you are right with then js extension. Its also for me me strange, but the error message
from openshift was clear and after changing the file without the js it works.

But openshift and react native is more or less for me, so big thx for this great introduction.
Its a very good stack. I like very much the effort you took to provided a excellent test-suite.

I will try to setup a new openshift app with your instruction, maybe I will find my mistake.
Again, thx for the both repos and the support!

[bartonhammond]

Well - keep me posted - I don't see any evidence that the instructions or code is wrong. I've deployed this app a significant number of times w/o issue.
