Help configure mam $moll project.

[Lyumih]

Describe the bug

Hello!
Project: https://github.com/hyoo-ru/mam_mol
Help us integrate $moll opensource project together with Codeflow.

At the moment, to start $mol project just clone the repositories and run the npm start command.

Here is the instruction https://mol.hyoo.ru/#!Description=Create%20MAM%20project

Specifically with CodeFlow - just add https://pr.new/ to the repository url so it's cloned and npm run start to run. But Codeflow either does not download the project or builds it with an error. Is this on your end or do we need some special config for Codeflow?
On Gitpod this integration is set up and working, you can quickly check it yourself here https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/hyoo-ru/mam

These links are expected to build and start the project correctly:

• https://pr.new/github.com/hyoo-ru/mam

Thank you, hope for further cooperation and help!
Michael, $moll project.

Hi @Lyumih 👋 . Thanks for reaching out!

I got it working... But with a manual step 😂 .

So the problem here is that I noticed the project uses git remote show https://github.com/hyoo-ru/mam_mol.git. We currently don't support git remote show (yet). But I've created a ticket to track that functionality.

For that reason, the mam_mol repository is not cloned inside the mol directory. So what I did was clone it manually

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/hyoo-ru/mam_mol mol

Then ran the postinstall hook and npm start.

If you want to get this working in Codeflow today, there's a workaround for that. You can use a .stackblitzrc in the root of your project with the following content.

{
  "installDependencies": false,
  "startCommand": "git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/hyoo-ru/mam_mol mol && npm install && npm start",
}

This file could also be put in .stackblitz/config.json. But I noticed the docs are outdated so we need to update them as well.

By running that command, I got everything working 🎉 (I think 🙈 ).

I created an internal ticket for git remote show and I've linked this issue. Would you be ok if we closed this one? It's ok if you'd rather want it to be kept open until we have support for that git command.

We now support git remote show 🎊

But the behaviour doesn't yet exactly match the output for git remote show https://github.com/hyoo-ru/mam_mol.git (prints the branches when it shouldn't). We've got a pr in the works for that though

@SamVerschueren does that mean we can close this issue when it lands?

[SamVerschueren]

Not sure. I tried opening the project, and it looks like it also runs git remote add --track which fails with illegal option --track.

Thank you for your work!
We are facing a similar error.
Everything is working locally and on GitPod so far
