Fresh clone does not run? about reactive HOT 8 CLOSED

First of all, I assume you know that jetty-run will run the demo app that's
online.
Anyway, the problem is that reactive-{core,web}-api are symlinks to the API
docs. So the link target doesn't exist until you run the doc task.
Also, if you're on Windows you might not be able to make it work --- I
haven't tried. If you can get sbt to copy the files to the right place
without using symlinks, let me know.
Also, IIRC the error doesn't prevent it from running, it just means that the
API docs links won't work, no?

does not exist.

Presumably a file that got missed checking in?

It did in fact prevent the app from running, for me, anyway. The error I
mentioned was followed by a stack trace and Jetty was not run. Since I did
not find a tutorial listing the exact commands needed, I assumed sbt update
and jetty-run would do the trick. Sadly, they did not. I am using Ubuntu,
and a recently installed sbt (0.7.4).

I find that if you want to encourage users, it helps to have the simplest
thing "just work", or else provide very specific instructions somewhere.
Probably I just missed those :-)

Anyway, building the "doc" target first, as you suggested, did the trick and
I have the demo up and running. I love your on-line documentation, buy the
way, but I was missing a live example to disect. I have that now :-) Making
the demo the documentation and the documentation the demo is a stroke of
genius.

Thanks!

You're right. I should add a section to the Getting Started page about
running the demo.
If you want you can send a pull request or just file a ticket for that
change.
Enjoy, and looking forward to feedback!

Well, I guess this is a ticket...
Anyway, perhaps a better idea is to just make the jetty-run (or package/prepare-webapp) task dependent on the doc task. If anyone knows offhand how to do that, please comment, otherwise I'll have to look into it when I have the chance G-d willing.

Seems to work:
git clone git://github.com/nafg/reactive.git
sbt 'project reactive-web-demo' container:start ~compile

from reactive.

Looks like this is pretty old, but now I'm running into similar issues. I'm on Windows, so the symlinks for the various different scala versions appear to my system as plain text files. So nothing will compile, since it's missing references to the Compat object. I'll take a stab at trying to make them work without resorting to symlinks... expect a pull request soon! :)

Thanks! Looking forward!

I assume you'll do it via sbt config, right?

Yeah, I've currently got something working by defining a resolveDirs function in the main Build.scala file. I'll commit/push to my fork soon.
