Suggestions to improve the BAP "Getting started guide"

Client

Hi *

I just managed to install and run the BAP template application :slight_smile:
Some things went smoothly, others didn’t. I want to give you some feedback on the ones that didn’t:

  • missing .editorconfig: after executing the steps in <INTERNAL_LINK> the application wasn’t compiling anymore. The lint tool was complaining about some stuff that was very hard to figure out (Stefan Wulf helped me out)
  • linking gradle to artifactory: I missed that step in the “getting started guide” and was lost for a long time. The information is there, though (a link to the mgm wiki). I just missed it… Maybe it could be side by side to the information on how to link node to artifactory
  • missing information on the version of the ui designer and data modeler used to create the models: The models used in http://<INTERNAL_LINK> are created with the newest tool versions (which is good :slight_smile:). Maybe you could just give that information in the guide. Most people who worked with the tools for a while don’t always have the newest version and then opening the models fails

These are all minor findings (except for the editorconfig, maybe).
So thanks a lot for a good getting started guide! Now I just have to figure out the rest :wink:

Cheers,
Bianca

Thanks @bianca-firm-knoll may I know your OS when you try to run this getting started guide?

Hi @tuan-stable-gale! I use Windows 7.

Thanks @bianca-firm-knoll

I tried the getting started guide within clean VM with Windows 7 but I didn’t have this kind of problem. Could you help us in creating a bug ticket for improvement ? It would be very helpful if you can create it

Cheers,
Tuan Do

I will, as soon as the current project stress ends a bit :wink:

The things I can contribute quickly are:

  • I used a freshly installed VSCode IDE
  • it happened after I created the service in <INTERNAL_LINK> with copy&paste
  • then the file had spaces instead of tabs
  • the lint tool complained about that
  • after I got the .editorconfig from Stefan and saved it to ..\a12-bap-client-template.editorconfig it worked

I add the .editorconfig to this thread…

Cheers,
Bianca

I see now that I cannot attach files (or am I blind?)
Therefore here is the code:

root = true

[**]
indent_style = tab
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

[*.md]
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

[*.json]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
