Developing Wekan for Sandstorm

Developing Wekan for Sandstorm

Wekan / General · June 26, 2019 at 4:39am (Edited 5 years ago)

Hello, I'm new to here and trying to add a new feature to Wekan for Sandstorm.

Is this document still up to date? https://github.com/wekan/wekan-maintainer/wiki/Building-Wekan-for-Sandstorm

I think there is a way to build from source code rather than an image to keep everything updated, or the image is always updated?

I am at the very start point of a Wekan developer, hope I can eventually reach the goal. Thank you!

I don't think using development mode would bring any difference. It just builds Wekan and starts it as it would start current version of Wekan.

            My object is to find what's the difference between standalone and sandstorm version

              So I'll write many logs, thus I need development mode for efficiency.

                I succeed using meteor-spk dev, I need to Ctrl-C and rebuild everytime when I change code, right?

                    If server is swapping, it does not have enough RAM

                        You should run Wekan on server that has enough RAM

                          rebooting server can help temporarily, but when loading big board, most likely it starts swapping again, if you don't change to server that has more RAM

                            But the old version works well

                                So I think my code or some new code has some wrong memory usage

                                  That old version uses Meteor 1.6.x and new version uses Meteor 1.8.1 so there are very many updates and security fixes to all dependencies. Currently all Wekan platforms use Meteor 1.8.1, I don't think it would make any sense to go some older version.

                                    Instead, I plan to continue updating dependencies to newer versions where possible.

                                        I did think about your code, that you added search to work also on archive, so maybe your code also loads all from archive immediately? I'm not sure, because I did not look more closely. I also don't know how much you have at archive.

                                          Also, Wekan has new features like that WYSIWYG comment editor that adds more new code

                                            Usually adding features does not mean having less code :D

                                              Nope, my code won't load anything from archive until the filter is selected.

                                                When I trace the code, I found boardBody component's onCreated() is finished, but onRendered() will not be called, and browser's console has these errors:
