Unable to run tailor examples

[naragon]

When I run npm install after cloning the tailor project I get the following errror. Subsequently if I try to run the basic example using 'node examples/basic', I get 'template not found' error at http://localhost:8080

the examples are really bare bones, this tripped me up too, which means we should improve them.

the template not found error is because you are looking at /, and there is no redirect or concept of a default fragment route on the example.

try adding index, eg http://localhost:8080/index and hopefully you should see something.

does that help?

@dazld I had the same issue yesterday. I was trying to debug Tailor yesterday by running the examples, by using node --inspect --debug-brk index.js. But the debugger never hit the request-handler file while requesting the tailor url http://localhost:8080/index, but the fragment server at http://localhost:8081 was returning the right response. It's good that @naragon created this issue

[naragon]

Yep, this - http://localhost:8080/index - worked. I should have read the instructions more carefully. Thank you much.

@addityasingh could you open a new issue for this, with some repro steps?

@naragon no problem! glad to help :)

@addityasingh you should run node --inspect examples/* and navigate to localhost:8080/index..

Running node --inspectindex.js` wont hit anything because its the tailor lib file.. We need to create tailor instance and create a server to render things. This is what exactly done in examples folder

[addityasingh]

@vigneshshanmugam But I am running this command inside /tailor/examples/basic-css-and-js folder. In that case index.js points to index file of the basic-css-and-js and I think node --inspect --debug-brk index.js should work

[vigneshshanmugam]

@addityasingh Dont think you need --debug-brk flag though for >6.. I just tried and it works for me
