Build and Run

Initializing Project

The first time you run the project, the App will show the front end as “Initializing”. This means that it is running an “npm install” which installs all your front end libraries in the node_modules folder.

npm install fails: If npm install fails, you cannot resolve in rIDE (Coming Soon). Here’s how to resolve:

Open your react-app in File Explorer (C:\Users\[YourUser]\CodeBuddy\Projects\Test-Project\react-app).

Delete the node_modules folder in the react-app.

Open the react-app in a terminal, Powershell, or cmd (C:\Users\[YourUser]\CodeBuddy\Projects\Test-Project\react-app).

Run npm install at the react-app folder to reinstall node_modules.

Run Project

Click the Run Both button to run the Frontend and Backend or run them separately.

Code Editor with File tree (left sidebar), Code viewer (in the middle), and AI Chat (right sidebar) screen.

Certificate Install

Install certificate for running in https on localhost.

When you first run your solution, you may notice a dialog pops up requesting you install a certificate for localhost. This certificate is designed to allow you to run local host on a secure ‘https://’ URL instead of ‘http://’. You can click Yes to install.

Hot Reloading

When you make changes to your code the frontend will hot reload but the backend will require you to re-build and run.

NOTE: rIDE will attempt to rebuild your backend when you make changes. If you’re noticing the backend is not re-building just click Run to rebuild the backend.

Port Management

The backend server will be running on localhost:5123
The frontend will run on localhost:3000
CORS is assigned in Program.cs

Compile: Time Logging & Errors

Compiling Logs Modal within the Code Editor.

Click the Show Logs button to see live logs for your frontend and backend solutions. Feel free to put your errors in the rIDE chat.

Compiling Errors within the Code Editor.

Compile time errors will also show in the errors box below the code editor. Click to view the errors. You can click Resolve with RIDE to copy the errors into the chat and then hit enter. You can click Resolve All Errors to copy all errors to the chat. We recommend you only do this if you have a few errors for best results.
