Update build instructions #1842
Description
Related to #1720
The build instructions for your app are not up to date. I am building it as part of walletscrutiny.com 's review and was able to build it from source. Working on a script and dockerfile (see this PR) to make it easy for anyone to build it from source.
Here is what is missing or outdated in BUILD.md:
-
It mentions that the node version is defined in
.nvmrcso you should donvm useto switch the version. But it is actually defined in.node_version, so you will have to do "nvm usecat .node_version". -
While trying to build one might get an error like this one
error src/constants/env.ts: /home/.../bitkit/src/constants/env.ts: "BACKUPS_SERVER_SLASHTAG" is not defined in .env
1 | import {
> 2 | BACKUPS_SERVER_SLASHTAG,
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3 | BACKUPS_SHARED_SECRET,
4 | BACKUPS_SERVER_HOST,
5 | BACKUPS_SERVER_PUBKEY,.
SyntaxError: /home/...bitkit/src/constants/env.ts: "BACKUPS_SERVER_SLASHTAG" is not defined in .env

at File.buildCodeFrameError
That is because the .env file is missing. That needs to be created manually. postinstall.js has these lines:
const devEnvFile = './.env.development';
const createDevEnvFile = 'cp .env.development.template .env.development';
Which creates .env.development instead of .env
- One might also face this error
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':nodejs-mobile-react-native'.
> SDK location not found. Define a valid SDK location with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable or by setting the sdk.dir path in your project's local properties file at '/home/.../bitkit/android/local.properties'.
If you do, then you'd have to create a file called local.properties inside of android and add the path to your Android SDK. For example, in Ubuntu it might be something like sdk.dir = /home/username/Android/Sdk.
