@jshimko Hey I tried to use the docker install on a fresh ubuntu image and got a
Warning: unable to resolve "stage-2" in presets of /var/src/.babelrc about halfway through. Is there any way you can help me get the docker setup going for this?
@ivanthemeh what steps did you take?
@jshimko Im a mess man , Ive been trying to get this working with https ALL day. Im going to bed. Im hoping to have some time to work on this tomorrow...my brain is fried right now >.<
I recommend checking out that gist I posted earlier. It’s literally copy/paste. You don’t even need to know how it works.
thanks for the support @zenweasel, could please assist (re: getting it to work on my machine)
Have you run through these for Windows: https://docs.reactioncommerce.com/reaction-docs/development/requirements
i did, but am just running through each now to confirm i did it properly
i have confirmed that each of them are working, but in the command prompt it still doesn't run the "reaction" command
firstly, it shows 'Warning: unable to resolve "stage-2" in presets of /C/Users/danie/reactionCommerce/.babelrc'
but continues 'Starting your app'
so when you say it doesn’t run the
reaction command, you mean it runs with errors?
you cannot start Reaction without using the
reaction command
'reaction' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
You cannot start it with just a
meteor command
ahh
so how do I get the reaction command to work?
the reaction commands drives the plugin loader
have you installed the
reaction-cli?
npm install -g reaction-cli
how do I install that?
thanks, running that now
reaction command is now working
awesome!
Just curious, where did you get the installation method you tried? That’s an old method that doesn’t tell you to install the CLI
still getting the stage 2 presets
Hmmm, I’m not really sure what that’s about
can you try running
meteor npm install?
You might want to try just blowing away this version and start with the CLI from scratch
npm install -g reaction-cli
reaction init
cd reaction
reaction
is there a link to the instructions for that?
that’s the entire install process right there though
thanks, that is running now
fingers crossed it goes through
cool
installed, now running the reaction command on the new install
it is still coming up with the stage 2 though??
Warning: unable to resolve "stage-2" in presets of /C/Users/danie/reaction/.babelrc
Hmmm, that’s a new one for me
try running
meteor npm install
also can you do
reaction -v and give me what the results of that are?
meteor npm install came back with a bunch of ERR!
reaction -v came back with;
Node: 4.6.0
NPM: 2.15.9
Reaction: 0.16.1
Reaction CLI: 0.4.21
Node: 4.6.0
NPM: 2.15.9
Reaction: 0.16.1
Reaction CLI: 0.4.21
well if you are getting errors when running
meteor npm install then that’s the issue there
what errors did you get?
meteor npm install works for some packages, but not all
meteor npm install --save nodemailer postcss postcss-js autoprefixer css-annotation fibers node-geocoder bunyan-format authorize-net braintree later paypal-rest-sdk stripe avalara-taxrates country-data
those are the only packages left that won't install
that’s quite a few. What is the error that you get?
what is the easiest way to send you an image (screen capture) of the errors?
you can just drag and drop an image into the chat window
it looks like something is wrong with your git installation
meteor npm install --save react meteor-node-stubs transliteration i18next lodash accounting-js moment-timezone i18next-browser-languagedetector i18next-localstorage-cache i18next-sprintf-postprocessor jquery-i18next bunyan swiper react-bootstrap react-komposer react-simple-di nodemailer-wellknown classnames domkit sweetalert2 moment tether-drop money autonumeric griddle-react react-dom tether-tooltip react-autosuggest sortablejs bootstrap autosize
it ran that one without issue
you shouldn’t need to do any of that
just
meteor npm install installs everything
all these errors are git related
git is installed
could you be running an old version of git?
yeah, it works because you cloned the repo with
reaction init
Git-2.10.1-64-bit
but every error is a git failure of some sort
should i run something through the bash?
i have been running everything so far through CMD
that’s the same version I have here
are you running Windows 10 with bash support?
running windows 10 (not sure how to check bash support though)
bash support is an add-on
what bash were you talking about then?
git bash (desktop application that git installed)
oic
i have to get home for dinner - will have to try again on monday
thanks for your assistance, you have been great
k
i am sure we will get there
thanks
Ok, I will be here
it is almost 2AM here, so will just give a quick update for i hit the hay (go to sleep)
i made sure Bash support is running
this did not fix the issue - so i tried the meteor npm install -- save for each module the reaction command stated as missing
first i tried the meteor npm install - to no luck
then i tried all at one - also to no luck
then i tried one at a time - all of them worked except for one, authorize-net
no when i run the reaction command the issue list is a lot smaller
so we are getting somewhere, now just need these last little bits :)
Can you please install this:
npm install -g windows-build-toolsand then start over with a fresh install of Reaction.
reaction init
hey
I am trying to get an installation of reaction commerce on a google cloud machine with node.js through bitnami (https://bitnami.com/stack/nodejs)
the package installation and everything goes ok
but when I run "reaction run"
I get stuck after the message "Started MongoDB"
how long did you wait?
guess it has been like 30 mins now
tried 3 times before, waiting up to 1 hour
ok, yeah definitely something wrong
no errors ever?
got this output once: "cfs:gridfs: updating npm dependencies -- mongodb, gridfs-stream..."
but then it got "stuck" again
and you installed all of the required build tools?
I just started with a new node machine and ran the commands on the installation guide
I will run that debian command
just to make sure
are you on Ubuntu or Debian?
is there any reason you aren’t just running it locally to try things out?
The setup you’re trying to run right now is a development setup that’s intended for local development work.
I am on a windows machine
and just didn't want to go with all the openssl and build tools for windows drag...
so I though to just try it out on a temporary remote instance
the remote host is Debian
It has gotten a lot easier recently.
npm install -g windows-build-tools reaction-cli
reaction init
actually, need git as well
but that’s about it
I don’t think you’ll do any less work running it remotely, but if that’s what you prefer you’ll have to install all of the build tools for linux for that to work.
ok, new error: "FATAL ERROR: Committing semi space failed. Allocation failed - process out of memory
Aborted"
Aborted"
how much RAM do you have?
what is the memory footprint to run an instance of reaction commerce?
Well, you’re trying to build an instance of Reaction. That involves compiling binary modules and that’s CPU/RAM intensive.
A production deployment has different needs than a development setup
I think you’ll find development is way easier locally for a variety of reasons.
But if you want to skip the whole process and launch a production build, you can use the official Docker image.
reactioncommerce/reaction:latest
You need at least 1gb of RAM to run Reaction, so it’s likely you’d need more than that to build it. If you’re using the cheapest option available on Bitnami, you likely don’t have enough resources.
ok
thanks for info
sure
will give it a try locally and/or with a bigger machine
if you’re not editing code and just want to launch a running instance, the Docker container may be your easiest/quickest option.
you can install Docker on your local machine…
https://www.docker.com/products/overview
then run…
# the latest development image
docker run -p 80:80 reactioncommerce/prequel:latestand then just visit http://localhost/
no other dependencies required.
"Oops! You don't have Meteor installed yet!"
this on windows now
I just installed Meteor
and tried it again
still the same message
this was while running "reaction init"
what happens when you run
meteor?
not recognized
probably not in the environment variables
do you remember the command?
meteor/meteor#4090
in short, restart.
As always, thank you Windows.
or maybe you just need to open a new cmd prompt to get the updated PATH
yup just did it
after the first npm install
I can run it without administrative priveligies right?
I don’t know. I’m not a Windows guy. Sorry.
ok np
thanks
just tried it out with docker
great work!
just a question that I did not find in the docs
I see that you can define a "category-like" taxonomy for the products by using navigation tags
however, if I want to enrich my experience by showing illustrative images, texts and stuff for each "category"
the "tag" is simply not enough
do you have any solution for that that doesn't involve changing the schema?
What are the features in the upcoming release and what is the date?
product revision control, order and account search, updated translations, next Tuesday
coupon codes get bumped?
nope, still on schedule for 0.18 - so not bumped, but we’ve been giving 0.17 a little extra love
oh, nice. :heart:
we’re about 20 days behind on 0.17, but should be worth it. I swear ;-)
:sparkles: :shipit: :wink:
still planning on layout updates as well but that’s bumped for 0.18 for sure
yeah, we’ve kinda moved on from that for now
still will be a very welcome addition
@aaronjudd hi! while your here, any chance you can tell me whats up with the react/jsx code that is sometimes commented out or defined in a .js ext file
oh and also full email templates for orders, etc coming in 0.17 (but editing them in the UI will be 0.18)
not undope. That will definitely make my life easier
i believe they can be found in the imports/core
just wanna know if react will be used anywhere in project
@tdmoneybanks that’s a good question. @mikemurray is the man to answer that. I think much of that is probably cleaned up now in the development, or should be, I suspect those were from an earlier attempt at converting the PDP to react. the new PDP page is now mostly react components (in dev).
@aaronjudd ahh i see thank you for the clarity. Is the plan to move more pages to react components or to stay with blaze?
most of the new components we’re building should be react.. but we’re still using blaze as the overall layout manager
sweet. gracias @aaronjudd
once we’ve got everything into a component library (and we’re also working on docs, style guides, etc for this) we’ll start moving to a react layout, starting with the PDP
so stoked about this move to react
:heart:
@aaronjudd my team is currently working on converting reaction to a marketplace. We currently are planning on new shops being created through invite links sent out by the overall admin user. is this inline with the thinking on your end as well?
yes, that should work.. we have a couple tickets on the permission handling as that’s become a little ragged.. but then all you have left is the UI for the “sub shop” owner.. n roles, admin = install / overall, owner = shop administrator.
yea we have added new roles necessary for multistores and have built the code where store owners can only create/edit their own sub-stores and products. We used shop-owner as the role for sub-shops but we can change it to whatever role defs work best for you guys. the creation of the ui for overall admin to manage/invite new vendors is our main last hurdle
yup, that’s the main remaining task for marketplace, we’ve been putting it off until after 0.19/0.20 -> that’s our target for a stable single tenant core...
Btw, I think this is awesome
thank you
question: is there a demo of the features out there?
