fractal start --sync does not load local server

On windows environment - when you set up fractal using the guide provided on the site. Running fractal start --sync only try to open fractal.js but fails to launch the web server UI.

nevermind, resolved the issue. I wasn't running the command from the 'public/' folder created in my root dir

@DadaConsultant Glad you got it working - however it shouldn't actually need to be run from the public directory, it should work from the project root directory, so that may be a bug - I'll look into it.

It mustn't be the public directory, but on cmd you have to start fractal from a subdirectory.
Anything new on this bug?

Having the same issue on Windows 10 running node v6.9.5 and fractal v1.1.3. Any progress investigating fixing this?

Having the same problem on Mac. Work around for me is to start the Fractal CLI and then start the server from there.

Using yarn:
yarn run fractal

Within fractal:
start --sync

I fixed this problem after run command
npm install [email protected]

But I have fractal version 1.0.8

@mja202 @serslon There was an issue with an updated version of vorpal, see this thread for more details: #232

I#'m having the same issue on windows.

Jsut tried the same as mj202 recommended and it worked!

Just went into this issue too. Fractal seems to be a great idea, but it needs more love. The approach of @mja202 isn't a solution, just a workaround.

Btw: What you can do to speed it up in one command is: yarn run fractal -- start --sync

Yes, it was a workaround. However, the current fractal (@1.1.4) works as it should (at least for me).

When fractal is installed globally (yarn global add @frctl/fractal) then fractal start sync within a project should just work.

mja202 on 15 Jun 2017

@julmot @trickydisco78 can you confirm that you are using the latest release (1.1.4)? This was caused by a breaking change in the version of Vorpal that was used but it was bumped in the latest release and should work now.

@allmarkedup I was using 1.1.4, yes.

julmot on 16 Jun 2017

I was able to get it to work with this workaround.

After using Fractal on a project for about 9 months, I'm suddenly experiencing this, using version 1.1.5.

I've verified this issue by installing a brand new blank Fractal site on my machine and on a colleague's machine that's never run Fractal before. As the below screenshot shows, after running fractal start --sync, Fractal starts, shows a localhost address, then the process seems to quit silently.

I'm experiencing the same. Here's something strange going on, probably due to #346.

julmot on 18 Sep 2017

Same here

@ten1seven @meerestier
An unsupervised Greenkeeper update broke 1.1.6 - I've just pushed v1.1.7 that rolls back that update, so if it was due to that, this version should fix it.

The update fixes the problem for me on macos
