Running test gives empty page

[dremovd]

I tried to run Spring2023Main main from vs code on my Mac. It looks like working, but the page http://localhost:8888/test.html is empty (test.html is loading, but it renders to an empty page)

test.html content: https://pastebin.com/a1vcByh6

Try copying the files in src\main\resources\view\assets to src\main\resources\view\assets\assets then recompile

I found the issue, it is because the view are in typescript which needs to be transpiled in javascript. Since the typescript project has a lot of dependencies, I advise you to use node.js to download them. Here the step to make it work:

1. install node.js
2. cd src\main\resources\view
3. remove file package-lock.json (it contains URL internal to CodinGame company so it will break node.js)
4. call npm install
5. call npx tsc --build
6. in order to reduce drastically the jar size and maven build time, add this to the pom.xml

<build>
   <resources>
      <resource>
         <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
         <includes>
            <include>view/assets/**</include>
            <include>view/graphics/**</include>
            <include>view/*.js</include>
         </includes>
         <filtering>false</filtering>
      </resource>
   </resources>
</build>

6. in folder containing pom.xml, call maven clean install (the jar will now contain the transpiled typescript)
7. run the main and enjoy
