Figwheel Server: Resource not found about reagent-frontend-template

[yogthos]

There isn't an http server anymore, you should be able to go to index.html in the public folder and open it in the browser.

Yeah that works - maybe that should go into the readme?

[yogthos]

glad to hear it, and fixed the docs :)

[yogthos]

The front-end version of the template doesn't run an HTTP server. You simply open the index.html file found in the public folder of the generated project in the browser.

For example, if you create a project by running lein new reagent-frontend myapp, you'll have myapp/public/index.html. If you're still having trouble check the following things to troubleshoot:

Make sure that you have JDK8 and latest Leiningen installed:

>javac -version
javac 1.8.0_40
>lein version
Leiningen 2.7.0 on Java 1.8.0_40 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM

(Leiningen 2.6.1+ should work fine)

If you have that, then make sure the project is created by running:

lein new reagent-frontend myapp

go to the folder

cd myapp

start Figwheel

lein figwheel

Once it starts, you should see the following prompt:

lein figwheel
Figwheel: Cleaning because dependencies changed
Figwheel: Cutting some fruit, just a sec ...

Figwheel: Configuration Valid :)

Prompt will show when Figwheel connects to your application

At this point the app is compiled and you should be able to open the public/index.html file in the browser.

Thanks, it works now. I had trouble figuring out that I must open an file:// in the browser. what figweel starts at
Figwheel: Starting server at http://0.0.0.0:3449
is beyond me.

[yogthos]

Yeah definitely :-)

[mgerlach-klick]

Thank you though, I'm very happy with this :)

@yogthos I was inspired from your post in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12189673 and ended up here :) not that great experience after all. Please help.

There isn't an http server anymore, you should be able to go to index.html in the public folder and open it in the browser.

What that suppose to mean? What is the exact address?
http://127.0.0.1:3449/public/index.html Dosn't work !

[yogthos]

The server that figwheel starts is used to recompile and hotload code in the browser during development. Any changes you make in the source files should be reflected in the running app while figwheel is running.
