How To Start a Saturn Project
Followed instructions on How To Start page exactly and when I run:
dotnet fake build -t run
I get the following error:
Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Am I missing a global install of Fake or is something wrong with the local tools install, or something else?

Are you able to run this?
dotnet --list-sdks
Yes:
6.0.301 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
Seems that Fake is not being installed. It appears that fake-cli was removed from dotnet-tools.json in the Saturn template in this commit:
https://github.com/SaturnFramework/Saturn.Template/commit/9e46b28046db50131e0173be135391c6ce0803db
and therefore not being installed as part of
dotnet tool restore
Does it need to be installed some other way?
I think it does not need to be installed. Previously it was used to facilitate the building of the project.
I thought that it would be possible to run this template by:
# after installing the template and instantiating a sample project
# ...
dotnet run --project ./src/SaturnSample/
But it's throwing a bunch of errors.
Hum, those errors are related to the BooksViews
, BooksRepository
and BooksController
. My guess is that after the upgrade that removed Fake (probably due to .NET incompatibilities), the feature of creating View/Repository/Controller automatically through the CLI started creating outdated files which does not compile.

The build failed. Fix the build errors and run again.
Yes, I'm getting the same errors when using dotnet run.
@scorelocity try doing this:
- Update the
BooksView.fs
file. Switchopen Giraffe.GiraffeViewEngine
foropen Giraffe.ViewEngine
. - Update the
Books.Repository.fs
. Delete theopen FSharp.Control.Tasks.ContextInsensitive
. - Update the
Books.Controller.fs
. Delete theopen FSharp.Control.Tasks.ContextInsensitive
.
After those changes, try the dotnet run again.
Yes, that seemed to work. Since this workaround didn't match any docs or README, I wonder if this should be an issue in the Saturn.Template project (I opened it here because I did not know what the problem was). It's also not clear if Saturn is intentionally moving away from Fake.
Anyways, @vgajo , thank you for your help.
I created a PR to fix the template in Saturn.Cli
repository, so we don't need to manually delete and switch some instructions.
We need to work later in the docs.
Please keep this issue open, while we don't have a PR to fix it (you can create it if you want).
I created this PR ^ to update the how-to-start
guide. You can find more details reading its description.
I created this PR: https://github.com/SaturnFramework/Saturn/pull/364 as a part of this discussion. It changes GiraffeViewEngine to Giraffe.ViewEngine.
I am having issues opening the template project as well. I got it to run, but am wondering why Ionide can't open the project to give me type inference. Right now I am trying to open it in Visual Studio, and I see that it is complaining that Saturn_sample.fsproj
is not there. I am looking in the directory and see that it is named Saturn-sample.fsproj
.
I've edited the solution file by hand to fix this. I wonder if there is a way to delete and regenerate the solution automatically?
The main page loads, but going to: http://localhost:8085/books
Gives the following error:
SQLite Error 1: 'no such table: Books'.

I am not familiar with databases so I have no idea what to do here.
@mrakgr What command did you use to create the project locally?
I followed the stuff in here: https://saturnframework.org/tutorials/how-to-start.html
But dotnet fake build -t run
doesn't work for me so I am running it with dotnet run --project ./src/Saturn-sample/
.
Got it, I think the instructions there are a bit wrong. Maybe those instructions work well:
- https://github.com/SaturnFramework/Saturn/blob/main/docs/content/tutorials/how-to-start.md#template
I'm going to test it in my local environment soon.
Do I need to install anything special for SQLite perhaps?
What is the output of the dotnet saturn migration
?
PS E:\Webdev\Fable\Saturn-sample> dotnet saturn migration
PS E:\Webdev\Fable\Saturn-sample>
Nothing as far I can see. I forgot whether something has happened the first time around? I'll try a fresh template.
I tried it, and the output of the migration is the same as above.
Btw, dotnet new saturn -lang F#
should be dotnet new Saturn -lang F#
.
Hum, weird, it was supposed to create the database with this command. There is something wrong with it then. This CLI command is related to this project AFAIK: https://github.com/SaturnFramework/Saturn.Cli.
Wait, I get it.

PS E:\Webdev\Fable\SaturnSample>
I didn't think this would be a problem, but it seems the directory needs to be exactly SaturnSample
. I skipped that step and had issues with the solution file previously, and now it seems the database. Sorry about this. Still, I wonder why the database migration needs to have a hardcoded directory like this?
It's pretty weird, for sure. And it's also curious that it does not throw any error when you run the command outside the expected directory.
[<EntryPoint>]
let main argv =
let assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
use db = new SqliteConnection "DataSource=src/Saturn-sample/database.sqlite"
I figured out how to make the database migration work on the project inside the Saturn-sample
directory. I changed the use db = new SqliteConnection "DataSource=src/Saturn_sample/database.sqlite"
to what you see above and the migration worked. I had to do similar kinds of fixes in the .sln
file previously.
I review, though I apologized for failing to follow the instructions exactly, it is clearly that the template is broken. Maybe it is converting the -
to _
for some reason.
