Configuration problem breaks dev environment

[Miguel-Alves]

When running front-end dev environment we've faced a problem that is related to the configuration the project established as standard. This error happens specifically on file url_routes.js when trying to import the variable REACT_APP_URL_API.

This variable is mentioned on project's README file, to be set on the docker-compose.yml file according to the server where the API is running.

But, even when setting the correct server, all the requisitions made to the API are made to a broken URL. This error happens here:

FILE: url_routes.js

This usage of the variable brings the adress set, but unites it with an "undefined" word before adding the rest of the path to the API. So, its breaks all the callings to the API.

Although this is a bug that happens when using the dev environment, it does not happen when using docker.

Tasks

• [x] Fix the API calling adress without breaking the docker use of it;

Acceptance criteria

• [x] Dev environment can communicate with the API;
• [ ] Front-end docker continues to work correctly;

So we(@AmandaMuniz) corrected this by changing the way we state the API adress;

By doing so, we did not break the docker behaviour and corrected the communication with the API on dev environment;.
