'index.html' not loading in Chrome

[nadalsol]

Tell us about the issue you are experiencing

I'm trying to open the index.html file from Chrome, though I'm getting a permanent "Building pattern library..." message (pattern library doesn't get loaded).

Besides, I'm getting several error messages in the JS console:

The curious thing is that it works fine in Firefox.

What behaviour would you expect?

Pattern library should work properly for every browser (including Chrome), when openeing index.html.

How can this issue be replicated?

npm install -g astrum
astrum init ./public/pattern-library
astrum new buttons/default

And then open astrum-demo/public/pattern-library/index.html in Chrome browser.

Hey @nadalsol, thanks for reaching out!

The Astrum front-end app is a single page Vue app. It is recommended that you run it in a web server environment though, to avoid issues like you mention.

Please see #140 where @NonPolynomial and @LukeMcGurdy made some great suggestions.

Hi @hankchizljaw , thanks for your answer.

I'm just pointing this out because I haven't found any documentation about "How to run Astrum", so it has been confusing to me.

What about adding it to your README.md file?

Congratulations for this great piece of work! 👏

Thanks @nadalsol!

I agree. I'll put an issue together to update the docs.
