any progress on the

control go /

stuff? And could the people who are running into this leave a note of what platform they are on? I'm on Windows 10, wondering if it is window only problem with the new publishingV2 stuff?

@User If you're still having trouble figuring out Dendron, @User does onboarding. scheduling is on the home page https://dendron.so/#onboarding

so we've seen some issues with the current preview. we have an upcoming roadmap item to upgrade to a better preview engine but that's probably a month away. i'll be looking into the connection issue again next week so please hang tight in the meanwhile 😳 https://dendron.so/notes/17c61d62-f92e-4002-b8fe-9c05686e4bf9.html

control go /

Thanks. I suppose I will need to schedule one. TBH, onboarding every Dendron user is not scalable for @User either.

That is what the Site Preview page says when it opens

localhost:8080

or rather

Cannot GET /

, a couple of other people have mentioned this, not report the platform they are on.

@User After

Site Preview

has started failing, I decided to try

Site Build

- It showed some message that did not make sense, but I learned that it was some error from

dendron-cli

So I decided to build the site from the command line It fails too 😦 Here are the complete log

This is basically newly created vault. It does have

root.md

Main errors I could notice were: 1.

no notes found for root

- which seems misleading (to me) 2.

"TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined\n    at Object.resolvePath

@User updates from my investigation in

Cannot GET /

☝️ But I have a feeling

Cannot GET /

may be generic message.

Hello, I've difficulties to build my_site locally. Each time I launch the command

dendron: build site

, dendron give me these messages: + building... blue info + and last, a json formatted red error which contain this info: TypeError: Cannot read property 'close' of undefined at BuildSiteV2CLICommand.execute (/home/lv2/syncthing/partage/lecture_ecriture/dendron2/node_modules/@dendronhq/dendron-cli/lib/src/commands/build-site-v2.js:82:20 At this point, files are generated in the docs repertory, but the css file

Copy code

just-the-docs-default.css

is missing (although others assets seem to be at their good place). The only way I've found to build the site without error is with this console command: $ npx dendron-cli buildSiteV2 --wsRoot /home/lv2/syncthing/partage/lecture_ecriture/dendron2 --stage prod Have I missed something ? Thanks for your helping

@User Where did you find this info ? @User I tried

buildSiteV2

option Now I get slightly different error (but same result :() Earlier it used to

no notes found for root

Now it says

'mult notes found for root'

(Yeah,

mult

not

multi

) (make up your mind already. Did you or did you not find notes LOL 😆)

@User I made a right click on the error message and got 'copy text'. I've then pasted the text in an editor and extracted the info. The console command which works is the result of multiple tries deduced from the error message:

Copy code

blabla... "Command failed with exit code 1: npx dendron-cli buildSiteV2 --wsRoot /home/lv2/syncthing/partage/lecture_ecriture/dendron2 --stage prod --enginePort 36307 blabla....

⚠️ The variable

server

seems to be undefined in

build-site-v2.js

(line 82 in my case).

@User Turns out the command you used it documented here : https://dendron.so/notes/132698b3-cfe0-457f-b7d6-7ddba5cfe096.html I suppose one needs to know what one is looking for (Downside of Digital Garden ? Too much information, easy to find only if you know what you are looking for.)

Tried your console command from powershell:

@User My understanding is that

wsRoot

is parent folder of "vault" I consider

wsRoot

as the folder where

dendron-code.workspace

lives

kcrazk

02/04/2021, 3:47 PM

@User , @User You can try to launch the command from the

C:\vault_md\

directory. I launched it from the directory which contains

dendron-code.workspace

. ( I'm on Linux)

mandarvaze

02/04/2021, 4:10 PM

Yeah. That is what I've been trying. > I consider wsRoot as the folder where dendron-code.workspace lives So call it with

--wsRoot .

(I also tried to provide full path instead of relative path like

) I'm on macOS, but I doubt that matters.

Im6on Windows 10 and had no luck yet in building the site either. I keep getting errors about multiple root files (my workspace contains 3 vaults one local and two remote got repos) even though I added the preferences for it from the documentation. If anyone can confirm it working on Windows natively (outside WSL) I'm all ears

kevins8

02/04/2021, 7:49 PM

can you share your

dendron.yml

? can diagnose it from there

Bassmann

02/04/2021, 8:22 PM

I just tried with a simple almost empty vault and also get the

Cannot GET /

error.

Bassmann

02/04/2021, 8:23 PM

This is under vscodium with dendron-cli 0.28.2-alpha.2 using the command

Site Preview

Bassmann

02/04/2021, 8:26 PM

With `npx dendron-cli buildSiteV2 --wsRoot . --stage prod`I get this error

kcrazk

02/04/2021, 8:29 PM

May be with this ?:

npx dendron-cli buildSiteV2 --wsRoot . --stage prod --serve

Bassmann

02/04/2021, 8:32 PM

Yet another error message
