Server Fails to Start (missing config.json)

[Deleted user]

The server fails on startup as it tries to source a non-existent config.json.

It's looking for ./server/config.json which is sourced in ./server/index.js at 23: import config from './config.json'; But this is ignored in the .gitignore at 11 config.json.

Not sure what this is used for as there's no documentation, but without it this cannot be run.

The traceback:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:583
    throw err;
    ^

This will be resolved in an upcoming fairly large PR.

In the meantime, you can reference the README on the forseti-api page for getting around this:

Config.JSON will be removed in a future merge. If you have time, let me know if the updated instructions on this branch works:

config.json issues should be resolved by #49 - the use of config.json has been deprecated.
