No such file or directory: that’s the issue!

Maybe this could do some noise too, does your user is in the mock group?

Hi @davidep and @stephdl. Thank you for your reply.

  • nethserver-mymodule.json is in the nethserver-mymodule directory
 I have to put it into another directory?

  • I added root to mock group. I need to use an user different from root?

ensure it has been committed to your local git repo too

you must be an user different from root, member of the mock group.

Never run mock as root.

Ok, I will try. Sorry, but it’s the first time I use it :slight_smile:

Yes make-rpms loves you commit all your changes before to trigger it

It’s enough to launch ./prep-source and then make-rpms or I need to use some other commands?

AIUI, make-rpms expects to be run in a git repo, and everything you want in the RPM needs to be committed to the repo. This can simply be a local repo; it isn’t like you have to host it on Github.

As Federico says, prep-sources is needed somewhere (i.e. cockpit packages) to gather NPM dependencies before running the build.

exactly a quick and dirty way

git add .
git commit -m 'my first commit'
./prep-source
make-rpms *.spec

once you are satisfied of your work you can set a remote origin and push it to github (nothing here related to rpm bulid)

Keep in mind that cockpit must be restarted after each changes you made in javascript/html/vue js

We will teach you other tricks later

I built the rpm, but when I install it I obtain this error and cockpit doesn’t load
 can you help me?

cockpit.ws couldn't read from connection: Peer sent fatal TLS alert: Unknown certificate

In the browser or in the console of the dev tools?

@stephdl In /var/log/messages
Cockpit browser is blank. Console contains javascript errors.

Javascript error in console are probably the clues of your issue

In the meanwhile what did you do, could you recap the command line you have written

This is the error

make-rpms *.spec

I’m following this: https://nethserver.github.io/nethserver-cockpit/tutorial/

may I suggest another approach

yum install git npm
git clone git@github.com:stephdl/nethserver-cockpit-empty-VueJS.git
 cd nethserver-cockpit-empty-VueJS 
./prep-sources
make-rpms *.spec
scp *noarch.rpm root@ns7loc11:/root 

on your vm

yum install nethserver-cockpit-empty-VueJS-0.0.0-1.ns7.noarch.rpm nethserver-cockpit -y

This will install your_ amazing_application with vuejs, at worse to learn web development and cockpit you could start with vue, you have hundred thousand lines of code

Hi @federico.ballarini,

I have the same problem with you

How did you solve the problem?

thank you so much.

Partial solution :

<!-- nethserver styles -->
<link href="../base1/patternfly.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="../../static/branding.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="../nethserver/applications/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- module styles-->
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- -->

<link rel="icon" href="<%= BASE_URL %>favicon.ico">




....
<!-- module scripts-->
<script src="js/lib/sammy.js"></script>
<script src="js/lib/sammy.template.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
