Improve Setup Script

[psinghal20]

For those who faced issues with using the setup scripts, Please comment below with the errors you faced and the logs for your installation. You can find the logs in setup directory.

[vzhz]

I run macOS High Sierra and when I ran python setup.py from the root directory, I was referred to the manual setup process.
I am happy to attempt this setup again as a test as work on this continues.
Here is my complete log:
Admins-MacBook-Air:WikiEduDashboard Admin$ python setup.py WARNING! This is a work in progress script. It has been tested to work for debian-based systems. There are individual operating system dependent scripts being called from this one. You can find them in setup directory. The scripts for windows and OSX are still not complete. You can use them as a starting point or as a reference. If you run into any errors while running this script, please comment with your issue on https://github.com/WikiEducationFoundation/WikiEduDashboard/issues/1709 Please upload your logs for installation with your issue reports. The logs can be found in the setup directory. If you can help improve this script, We would love your contributions. Please install ruby-2.5.0 before running this script. Sorry! Your operating is not supported by this script. Please refer https://github.com/WikiEducationFoundation/WikiEduDashboard/blob/master/ docs/setup.md for manual setup instructions.

[ragesoss]

The message for when ruby 2.5 is not available should just say to install it, without insisting on a specific method. It can link to https://rvm.io/ as one option for doing so, but without any more specific instructions than that.

The exact instructions in the current script didn't work for me on a Mac, but other instructions from the RVM website did.

[jeffblack360]

The setup/deb-setup.sh complains if it doesn't find ruby 2.5.0 installed. I have ruby 2.5.1: should the script merely check for a match on 2.5 vs. 2.5.0?

I changed the script to complete setup.

Hi, just leaving my notes on the setup files here. It's a ~1000 word markdown file with notes on both ubuntu and windows installations, and which documents the changes in the PR I made.

[hardy1334]

Hey,I'm setting up https://github.com/WikiEducationFoundation/WikiEduDashboard
repo on my system, its front end is working but its not fetching anything from database

If anyone can help it will be great!!!!

[psinghal20]

Hi @hardy1334, have you populated the database? If not, you can run rake dev:populate to populate the DB and run rake batch:update_constantly and rake batch:update_daily to fetch the revisions.

[hardy1334]

Thanks @psinghal20 I will definetly do this

[hardy1334]

@ragesoss can you send me slack invite

[ragesoss]

@hardy1334 I'll need your email address. You can reach me at [email protected]

[hardy1334]

@psinghal20 In my dashboard,I'm not having tab of students option, once I login with Instructor' s account,Can you help me with that

[psinghal20]

@hardy1334 The editors tab is same as the students tab. You can enroll editors(students) for the course from there.

i have done set up by script, but i can't see dashboard on localhost and on running yarn test i am getting this error stuck here need help

[gautamig54]

I am setting up a development environment for WikiEduDashboard. When I run python3 setup.py, I get an error
Mysql2::Error::ConnectionError: Access denied for user 'wiki'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I am not able to resolve it. Can someone help me with this.
I have simply forked this repo and haven't made any extra changes. I have all dependencies Installed properly.

[psinghal20]

Hi @gautamig54, looks like there is some error during user setup steps. Could you check if the user is correctly setup? You can do so by running mysql -u root -p and select * from user. If the user is correctly set up, please check if the config/database.yml has the correct credentials setup.

[gautamig54]

@psinghal20, I sorted the issue. I just had to allow certain grants explicitly for the mysql database dashboard. It worked fine post that.
Thanks!

[helenatxu]

Hello @gautamig54 could you explain how you did it? I'm have exactly the same error

[psinghal20]

Hi @helenatxu, You should try giving the wiki user created grants for the wikiEducation Dashboard explicitly.

You can do this by running: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dashboard.* To 'wiki'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wikiedu';

Assuming default user credentials

[Aeropio]

Hi @hardy1334, have you populated the database? If not, you can run rake dev:populate to populate the DB and run rake batch:update_constantly and rake batch:update_daily to fetch the revisions.

Hello, I got same problem, even though I ran all the rake commands mentioned, still Nothing is fetched from DB

[ragesoss]

What output or error message do you get when you run rake dev:populate?

[Aeropio]

@ragesoss ran the rake commands successfully, I am current outreachy applicant new to open source world, can you please help me to pick up a beginner friendly task

[Manasa2850]

I get this error when I run guard.

This is displayed in localhost:3000/

No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /home/manasa/WikiEduDashboard/public/assets/stylesheets/rev-manifest.json

This error occurs when the asset build process has not generated the required rev-manifest.json files, which specify the filenames of the compiled stylesheet and javascript files.

Run `gulp` or `gulp build` and make sure there are no build errors.

[Manasa2850]

I get this when I run gulp and gulp build.

[Manasa2850]

I was getting few errors so I created a gulpfile.js
What should I add in gulpfile.js to resolve these issues?
Please help me with these queries.

[ragesoss]

@Manasa2850 hmm... I'm guessing this is because your gulp environment has not been set up to work with babel. gulpfile.babel.js is the gulpfile for the project.

What version of node are you using?

[Manasa2850]

@ragesoss where do I create courses and add students? My dashboard just has an option for creating programs and campaigns and not courses.

[ragesoss]

@Manasa2850 'program' and 'course' mean the same thing in this app, we just use different names depending on the configuration. (And 'editor' and 'student' are also the same.)

[ragesoss]

If you switch to wiki_education: 'true' in application.yml, most things will show up as 'course' and 'student' by default.

[shruti862]

I am unable to figure out the problem from the logs.

[shruti862]

@prathamVaidya @ragesoss This is the error I am encountering right now

[prathamVaidya]

@shruti862, the error you're encountering may be due to an incomplete MySQL setup. There is a logic to create a mysql account automatically, that might have failed during the setup script.
which ubuntu version are you using?
There must be some trace of failure in the setup log.txt. can you upload your log.txt and provide a link to it.
Also are you using the latest pull? I fixed an error related to same issue few days ago.

[shruti862]

log.txt
This is my log file @prathamVaidya
I am using Ubuntu 22.04.3
I don't know how to create automatic mysql account

[prathamVaidya]

Here is your error:
Building dependency tree... Reading state information... Package libmariadbclient-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: libmariadb-dev-compat libmariadb-devc
This package is not available on latest versions of ubuntu. I have fixed this issue in the script.
It looks like you might be using an older version of master.
Please confirm you are using master branch and do a git pull or sync fork (if using fork).

[shruti862]

I cloned the repo from the master branch to my local system

[prathamVaidya]

can you use this command and tell what is the output:

sudo apt-get install -y libmariadb-dev

[shruti862]

[prathamVaidya]

Found the reason. Installation is perfect. You have not run
yarn start
After running guard run yarn start in different terminal. Then the web page should be available.

[prathamVaidya]

@prathamVaidya @ragesoss This is the error I am encountering right now

though this is still unclear why. let me know if it works after the yarn command.

[shruti862]

I tried yarn start after guard command ,but still getting same error

[shruti862]

I am getting this thing while manually starting reddis server,

[prathamVaidya]

I am getting this thing while manually starting reddis server,

That is not a problem. The redis-server is already running that's why the port is already busy.

[prathamVaidya]

I tried yarn start after guard command ,but still getting same error

You can temporarily fix the issue by running these sql commands in mysql.

run sudo mysql

then enter following commands.

CREATE USER 'wiki'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wikiedu';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dashboard . * TO 'wiki'@'localhost';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dashboard_testing . * TO 'wiki'@'localhost';

Try restarting guard again.
IDK, why the script failed to run those.

[shruti862]

@prathamVaidya
Issue resolved ,Thanks for ur help !

[kan-ish]

@prathamVaidya I am encountering the same issue as @shruti862 here while trying to setup the project on my local. Though I am running OSX.


log.txt

I suspect the issue might be related to mysql setup, as there was a hiccup during the setup while populating the db. I tried running these commands as advised by you to Shruti -

Logs didn't show any signs of failure. Can you confirm if you have run yarn start or build command to generate frontend build.

If yes, there must be some error message when running the guard command. Check and share that.

[kan-ish]

I restarted everything and the issue seems to be resolved now (still don't know what the issue was). I restarted Redis, ran guard and yarn start again and the frontend did load. Although it was pretty slow (> 60 seconds). I restarted my machine and now everything seems to be running fine and as expected (seems like a machine issue but worth mentioning).

Thanks for the quick reply though!

@prathamVaidya I am getting internal server error then done the changes suggested by you above , Then I am getting this

[prathamVaidya]

@prathamVaidya I am getting internal server error then done the changes suggested by you above , Then I am getting this

Looks like you are opening the project from PORT 8080, use PORT 3000.

in one terminal use
yarn start to start react project with live server.
and in another terminal use
guard to start ruby on rails.

In this project react application is build and then served by ruby on rails server. So you need to start both and then access the application at PORT 3000 and not 8080 (I believe its only for serving static assets and for syncing live changes).

[SainiAditya1]

I have made the above changes it still showing this

[SainiAditya1]

@prathamVaidya Please have a look

[prathamVaidya]

Looks like some issue from backend. Please provide logs or error screenshots of the guard command.

[SainiAditya1]

[prathamVaidya]

No errors in the SS.

• were there any errors during installation?

[SainiAditya1]

@prathamVaidya ,Now it's working fine with database migrations bin/rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development . Thanks for all your suggestions .

[SainiAditya1]

[FormasitChijoh324]

Hello @prathamVaidya , @ragesoss , please i am trying to setup the project but i have difficulties migrating the database i am runing on a Mac Sonoma version 14.3 and i have Xcode 15.2 i have followed the installation process up to the point of the migrations using rake but all my attempt gives me this error

i have gone use this same command bin/rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development as above but it still does not work

please i would appreciate any help or directions to the right resources to use, thank you

[ragesoss]

Hmm... I'm not sure! I haven't seen this particular failure mode before.

I suggest going through the manual version of the setup, and report the details of any step that generates an unexpected error.
