Running project

[geakstr]

Hello! I don't understand how to run project with profile. I did

gradle -Dspring.profiles.active=webpack,fake-redis bootRun

but http://localhost:3000 not found. gradle frontend:start and gradle backend:bootRun works

Ran into the same problem. not quite sure how to cope with the js issue. mine goes like this:

.../frontend$ ../gradlew start
.............
.............

ERROR in ./src/config/router.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'isDev' in .../frontend/src/config
@ ./src/config/router.js 57:13-29

ERROR in ./src/config/store.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'isDev' in .../frontend/src/config
@ ./src/config/store.js 23:13-29

any hints appreciated. cheers

Hey guys! Thanks for the feedback.

isDev is a node module, it should be installed in frontend/node_modules.
If you have npm installed, could you please use npm start in the frontend directory instead of relying on the webpack profile?
Also, what OS are you using?

I updated the node version used in the gradle node plugin but forgot to update it here:

boot-react/backend/src/main/groovy/react/config/webpack/WebpackLauncher.groovy

Line 20 in a3d701b

public static final NODE_VERSION = '4.1.1'

It should say 5.0.0.

To be honest, the WebpackLauncher is a bit fragile. I should probably remove it and promote the use of npm instead.

Another thing is you have to run gradle frontend:npmInstall or go in the frontend dir and type npm install before trying to run the frontend.

[geowarin]

Last word in favor of running npm start instead of using the webpack profile:
the output of the two processes will be cleanly separated. It is easier to see errors that way.
You can also restart one without touching the other, which is a big plus IMHO but I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

[geowarin]

And finally @geakstr, properties you pass to gradle are not passed over to spring so -Dspring.profiles.active will not work this way.

See spring-projects/spring-boot#832 and http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-profiles.html

Hi! thanks for the response. Maybe I wasn't too specific.
I did try npm install too altogether with npm start but I ran into this exception
app.use('/api', (req, res) => {
^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token =>

figure I might be using old nodejs? will try to upgrade... and let you know then.

I love the idea of your seed project btw!

[geowarin]

@millun Yes! The arrow notation for functions is for node 4.0.0+.

Guys, I pushed a new branch where the problem is fixed:
https://github.com/geowarin/boot-react/blob/210fb2f39cf0e393e82a267a85a34facd79a4795/backend/src/main/groovy/react/config/webpack/WebpackLauncher.groovy
but I find the code difficult to understand...

Just some comment about this problem:

ERROR in ./src/config/router.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'isDev' in .../frontend/src/config
@ ./src/config/router.js 57:13-29

I'm not sure if this is a platform (I'm on Ubuntu) problem but i had to rename the module import:

import isDev from 'isDev';

to

import isDev from 'isdev';

@nullsumme You're totally right, that's a bug. I'll fix this ASAP.
