Hi - I've installed Adapt Builder onto a server and thought I'd got everything working nicely.
I can log in, created courses and content, but when I try generating a preview the build process runs for a while and then says error preview failed.
In the console window I get a whole pile of error messages (see attached).
Anyone got any ideas what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Can you please provide details how you installed the Builder? Vagrant or Server-install procedure? What Windows version are you using?
When the Framework update was released yesterday, others also reported similar issues. See https://gitter.im/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring
Keep an eye on the messages there, and update when they release a patch.
John
Thanks John.
It's been installed using a server-install procedure. It's on Windows 2012 R2.
I'll keep an eye open for a patch then.
Cheers,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Can you try testing this using the develop branch of the authoring repo? Open a git bash in the folder for the adapt_authoring source files, then get the develop code using:
git fetch origin
git checkout origin/develop
Delete the node_modules folder, and run the following to re-install the node modules:
npm cache clean && npm install
Then rebuild/run the tool using:
grunt build && node server
To add to this, I've jus tested the latest adapt_authoring code from the master branch, and v2.0.7 of the adapt_framework, and everything's working as expected for me.
Hi Tom - I think I've done this. I've followed the commands above, though I might have done the checkout into the wrong folder - not quite sure what you meant by the "source files folder".
Anyway,the result is I can see some of the new authoring tool features (e.g. moving components left and right), but the preview still isn't working.
I've made a few changes in the course content I was previewing, and then run preview. No error message, just a blank window pops up.
There are no errors shown on the node console, but the web browser developer tools is showing a 404 error for adapt.min.js
Thanks,
Nick
I had preview problems without error messages.
Thanks to Helen Maffin I discovered that it was simply my browser blocking the popup windows.
Maybe this helps someone else, too. :-)
OK, after having to put this down for a couple of weeks I've come back to this today and done a clean install with the new version of the AT.
I haven't tried previewing a course yet but I thought I'd query another problem I keep having, which maybe related.
The last four or five times I've installed the AT, when I try to load it in my browser the AT starts to load but doesn't get as far as the login screen. It just sits with the loading spinner showing. A check in the network log shows that origin.js has failed to load.
With previous installs I've just gone and added origin.js to the appropriate place and then I've been able to login and author. But I wonder if this is in someway related to my preview problems.
I'm not sure why origin.js is missing. I've installed the AT by cloning from git and by downloading the zip file from git. Same problem either way.
Before I manually add origin.js again, does anyone have any ideas why this is missing?
Thanks,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Are you sure you've run the grunt build:prod step before running node server.js?
Brian
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the input. I hadn't run that grunt build command - I don't think that appears in the installation instructions anywhere.
Anyway, I've run it just now on our server and got the following error message:
Running "requirejs:compile" (requirejs) task
