Server: Build from source

[mehrdad-shokri]

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone nextcloud's server repo
2. Run $ git submodule update --init
3. Setup a basic server

Expected behaviour

Nextcloud should work correctly and without any errors.

Actual behaviour

I see bunch of javascript errors in console. my guess is that dependant libraries is not provided/installed correctly.
Also application doesn't function correctly. although page loads successfully, but clicking on settings icon or other icons does not perform an action.
Console is:

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: OCA is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'Share' of undefined

and so more.

My best guess is that, there is another step to build nextcloud from it's source. that isn't provided in the documentation.

It should work fine without any further steps. Are you sure this happens on a complete clean install or have you already done some modifications, as it is indicted by the other issues you have opened?

[mehrdad-shokri]

@juliushaertl nope, this was my first try.
Before adding any library I cloned it from here, ran $ git submodule update --init and navigate to the site.
Page loads indeed, I even setup admin user/pass and data directory.
But then when I navigate to my storage, I get the mentioned console errors.

[mehrdad-shokri]

@juliushaertl also, downloading app from https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-12.0.3.zip and setting debug causes so many files to throw exception.
Message of all exceptions is:

Uncaught ReferenceError: OC is not defined

Can confirm it?

[juliushaertl]

No works fine here. Please check your browsers network console for errors. It might be an issue with your webserver config. Can you also check if it loads fine when running the php internal webserver via php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 in the source folder

Bump, I have the same after installing nextcloud manually and migrating (latest) owncloud data, config and database. No errors in nextcloud log.

No errors in Network tab. Using Nginx with config provided in documentation.

EDIT:

Fixed with

./occ maintenance:mimetype:update-js

closing, as you got it working
