Getting started challenges

[Scott Dunbar <sc...@xigole.com.INVALID>]

Hi all,
I'm attempting to try to run a local version of the Fineract platform with
the code from Gitlab.  It appears that there are very frequent changes and
I've yet to be able to get anything to run.

On the server side the current develop branch has a Flyway issue.  On the
community app there is an error running grunt serve.  The flyway issue is
new as I was able to compile and run earlier.  The community app has been
broken for a few weeks now.

Is there a branch or tag that is a bit more stable for those of us just
starting out?

Thanks for any help.

Scott,

The broken master build yesterday was exceptional, we take great care of
doing our best to have master always build, and except for only a few hours
yesterday had it green for many months. Thought knowing this context may be
useful background for you.

We're looking forward to seeing your PR contributions!

Best,
M.

Thanks very much Vishwas,
Your question prompted me to dig more than I had before.  It turns out my
"grunt" installation was bad.  The build tools require a rather large
number of directories that have to be writable by the user and I had
apparently missed one - a sudo was the wrong way to go it turns out.

I apologize for taking your time as the community-app is now working fine.
And I'll pull an older branch of the platform.

Again, thanks!

Hi Scott,

Sorry you are facing these issues in getting started !

It looks like the last commit made on the develop branch on Fineract
platfrom has broken the build. For the time being, you can either

-> Locally revert the last commit
-> Use the codebase of an older release like
https://github.com/apache/fineract/commits/1.3.1

Regarding the community-app, you might probably be facing some issues with
node / ruby dependencies. Maybe share the errors you see when running grunt
serve ?

Regards,
Vishwas
