hi,

When I view my course results from this message:

Generating preview...

Your preview is taking some time to generate. Please wait...

some suggestion? thanks, regards

Hi, I'm experiencing the same thing on a fresh install of Builder as well. (It worked fine when I installed it two weeks ago.)

It seems to me like maybe the framework 2.0 release has broken the authoring tool release? The structure of the vanilla theme is totally different from what it was, so it definitely looks there have been major changes since my last install. However, when I start the server, Builder still thinks I'm using v1.1.1 of the Framework. Running node upgrade does nothing.

That's odd Ryan I never see that Adapt Builder version info. I haven't updated my builder's framework yet and it's still previewing ok, will upgrade to FW2.0 and see what happens.

Thanks Helen. And to confirm, the package.json file in my adapt_framework folder shows version: "2.0.0". The adapt_authoring folder was a fresh clone from yesterday.

@Pedro. I'm not sure what the best way to downgrade the framework would be.

I am experiencing the same issue as Ryan. I downloaded authoring tool for the first time 2 days ago and followed every step and got that error and the course failed to preview .... It hung on "generating preview". And publish didn't work either as the zip file just contained the course folder. A resolution would be helpful!

is strange, I have repeated many install in the last days and all attempts result this error.

everyone wants to contribute to make this work or is there a commercial interest for open source is not working?

thanks

Lloyd - what version of node do you have? You must have 0.10.33

Do you get the same screenshot as Ryan above? Try my grunt build solution below.

Let me know.

Hi all

I have just installed the builder on a laptop for some international guests to use while visiting (working!) and am getting the same issue.

I've tried to make older version installation to see if it works the build but takes the latest version .

Can someone provide the .zip with your root functioning of adapt_authoring ?

I don't think that would work as the adapt_authoring folder relies on data from MongoDB when you install - there would be too much to fix.

Sorry :(

Ryan,

I managed to get to the point you do above in the screenshot.

CD to your adapt_authoring folder, use GRUNT BUILD then NODE SERVER - I now see my courses ok.

Hi Helen,

Yes, we're able to view and edit courses, but not actually Preview or Publish any of them. I get the "Your preview is taking some time.." error that Pedro and others have reported.

I mentioned the version/upgrade issue because I suspect the root of the above problem is that the 2.0 Framework that isn't compatible with the current authoring tool. Instead of pulling in a framework version/repo that's been tested with the authoring tool, the authoring tool install just points to the latest version of the framework. Specifically, https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework.git which is defined in adapt_authoring\routes\install\index.js). Two or three weeks ago it this contained a 1.1.x version of the framework and worked fine. Today, it contains the 2.0 release, which is why I suspect that's the problem.

Hope that helps clarify the issue.

Cheers,

Ryan

Hi all,

A fresh install of the authoring tool should now be possible by following this post:

It should resolve the issue above.
