Can’t get initial build to work – LocalWP Dev

    I’m using LocalWP dev environment to try out ReactPress, looks really cool! I’ve followed the steps of creating an react app in /app/public/wp-content/reactpress/apps/[appname] and set the slug to a new page name that’s not being used.

    Checked the package.json file and when I hit yarn build it’s running PUBLIC_URL=/wp-content/reactpress/apps/cwc/build react-scripts build but every time I then go to the new page where it should live [app-name]/reactdemo there is nothing embedded, just a blank screen.

    I’ve gone to WPAdmin -> Settings -> Permalink and hit “Save Changes” but that doesn’t seem to work.

    The app can be found by going to [site_name]/wp-content/reactpress/apps/cwc/build/ it just doesn’t seem to embed into the theme itself.

    At a bit of a loss here, really like the plugin as it solves a lot of problems I’m facing at the moment so really keen to get it up and running.

    From what I can see from other posts it looks sounds like my initial build isn’t working as when I run yarn build I don’t see the page for the first time but I’m not too sure how to go about diagnosing

    UPDATE: Debugging through class-reactpress-public.php I’m seeing that $request = @file_get_contents($manifest_url); at line 155 is failing so it causing repr_load_react_app:122 function to return false. Any ideas?

    Hey @fxzh98,

    did you modify the page where the app should be displayed manually?

    Which operating system are you using?

    I will test with the newest version of LocalWP shortly.

    Hey @rockiger, I haven’t modified the page. I haven’t even created one, I just added in a new slug that isn’t being used by any other pages.

    Do I need to create a new page first and then assign it to the slug?

    No, no, the page does get created automatically.

    The problem is probably the php error. I will look into it and see if I can replicate it and my Linux system.

    One other question: Which php version does you use?

    Using this settings on Linux it works fine for me:

    Local version is: 6.2.4

    Does the asset manifest in your react app exist?

    Hmm that’s peculiar, I’m using 6.4.2 and PHP 7.4.1

    One thing that I’ve noted is that if I head to the site’s directory in file explorer there is 2 instances of reactpress routes.

    The first – [site_name]/app/public/wp-content/plugins/reactpress
    The second – [site_name]/app/public/wp-content/reactpress

    The second contains the asset-manifest.json. Should the second folder that contains the app be nested under the first route?

    No, the first one is the plugin directory.

    The second one is the content directory of the plugin, where all React apps should be stored.
