Installing NodeJS dev environment

Development
1

Hello,

I’m setting up my dev environment on MacOS
I followed the tutorial:
https://gladysassistant.com/fr/docs/dev/setup-development-environment-mac-linux/

  1. When I go to the server folder and run npm start I get this:

And when I go to http://localhost:1443 I get this:

Is this normal?

  1. When I go to the front folder and run npm start I have no error and I can reach the login page.
    What should I enter as the username? :slight_smile:

  2. I suppose I need to run the front and the server at the same time?

Thanks :wink:

Sonos errors are « normal Â». Your server has started correctly.
You do need to start both at the same time (in 2 terminals).

For the user, you need to insert data on the Backend side with the command npm run db-seed:dev

The user’s email is demo@demo.com
The password is mysuperpassword

Thanks :slight_smile:

Actually I just had to start the server and the front end so that it would prompt me to create an account ^^

Hi,

I just set up a dev environment and once the server and the front-end were started I can access the login page.
However, I’m not offered the option to create an account and the demo account mentioned above doesn’t work — has that changed? Thanks

Are you sure your database was actually empty? If you’re not sure, delete the database and restart the server; you should see the account creation :slight_smile:

Otherwise, check the browser logs for more information!

Here are the actions taken :

  • removed the gladys-development.d* files in server
  • restarted the server
  • Gladys is displayed
    => I still don’t have the welcome page

Ah indeed, that changes everything :slight_smile:

You can see it in the browser logs: the frontend can’t reach the backend, which is normal — it can’t know where your server is!

In the front folder, you need to create a .env file with the following content:

LOCAL_API_URL=http://192.168.0.208:1443
WEBSOCKET_URL=ws://192.168.0.208:1443

Remember to replace the IP with the IP address of your remote Ubuntu server.

Then stop the frontend and restart it.

Be careful: your Pro PC must be able to access your server. I don’t know what your network looks like, or whether there are security rules on your Windows PC that could prevent this, but it needs to be possible.

Great, thank you so much — it works! I’ll be able to look into how all this works and maybe contribute :wink:
