Adapt Learning Community: When I run $grunt build my changes are undone

Hi Guys,

I am working through the documentation on the github page.

I have created a course 'test1' and I have it open and running correctly in my browser.

I also have one git terminal window open which runs the server, and then I have opened one additional git terminal at the location of my course (/test1)

Now I make changes to contentObjects.json and add another object. If I just refresh the browser window without re-building the course, then I can see my new object there on the page.

However, as soon as I $grunt build again in my seconf terminal window, all my changes are undone, and the files in my course reverts back to the original files that I checked out, ie the sample course.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hey,

It sounds like you're changing filea in your build folder. You should never touch anything in your build folder. Instead please edit the src folder JSON files.

I would also suggest running: '$ grunt watch' instead of: '$ grunt build' everytime you make a change. As '$ grunt watch' will watch of changes to your src files and run an optimised version of '$ grunt build' - so you don't have to come back to your terminal each time you make a change.

let me know if you're still experiencing problems.

thanks,

Daryl
