Troubleshooting

Tickler is currently in development. This implies some things can break after an update (database schemes changes, config...).

If you encounter freezes when starting the app, you can reset Tickler by following these steps:

• Go to the Tickler folder directory
  • Windows: %AppData%\Tickler
  • OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Tickler
  • Linux: ~/.config/Tickler/ or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Tickler
• Delete:
  • IndexedDB folder
  • config.json file
• Restart Tickler

If you still get problems after that, please open an issue :)

Bug report

If you want to report a bug, first, thanks a lot. To help us, please indicate your OS, your Tickler version, and how to reproduce it. Adding a screen of the console (Settings -> Advanced -> enable dev mode) is a big help too.

Contribute

• Fork and clone

• Master is usually unstable, checkout to a tag to have a stable state of the app

• Install the latest version of electron either by running npm install -g electron or downloading the latest release available here and just drop the app on resources/ folder.

• You can use electron now with electron [electronapp-dir] command if you installed electron using npm or by running your downloaded electron.

• npm install && npm run dev then run in a separate terminal electron .

• npm run dev will watch for file changes using Webpack which will recompile JSX and SASS files.

• Enable dev mode in the app in the settings view to show DevTools

Please respect a few rules:

• Before making complex stuff, don't hesitate to open an issue first to discuss about it
• Make the code readable and comment if needed
• Make sure npm run lint passes

Then open a PR :)
