Converse.js: network and ui issues when running 6.0.1 dev locally

[bessiejiang]

Hey guys, I pulled the latest code on master branch and generated the two files converse.min.css and converse.min.js using npm run build locally, I tried to run it, but the UI seems strange(e.g., losing emoji, tool options) and it is stuck when I want to send messages(e.g. when I want to send a message, I click on return, nothing happens).

Any suggestions?

The errors are pretty verbose, you need other js files too.

Try to make dist and use the _whole dist folder_.

The main error appears to be GET file:///dist/emojis.js net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND.

Looks like you're trying to load Converse via file:///. That won't work, you need a web server.

You can run make serve and then go to https://localhost:8000/dev.html. You'll want to update the file dev.html to add your own configuration settings.

Thank you, just got it up.
