Expected Behavior

A correct build and run

[b-admike]

@koalabi Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Can you let me know your node and npm versions? I am not able to reproduce the issue. Also, can you remove your node_modules folder and give it another try? Another option you can try if you just want the todo-list example application is to install @loopback/cli globally and run lb4 example and select it from the list.

[marioestradarosa]

@koalabi , have you tried to scaffold it using lb4 example ? (quoting b-admike here 😄 ). I got your node version 10.0.0 right?, I just tried now and it is working for me running this command, I am running node 10 and npm 6.4.1 for you reference.

On a separate note, the @b-admike fix and mine on lb4 repository are already published on lb4 CLI version 0.28.0 , please provide any feedback on that also whenever you have time.

[koalabi]

@b-admike,
Waow! this is a fast reaction ;-)
Versions are indicated in the original post.

Retry after suppressing node_modules fails reproducibly (see below) [1]
Building example using "lb4 example" and selecting "ToDo-List" builds successfully but returns a 404 error upon invocation in the browser !? [2]

@marioestradarosa, @b-admike
Hi again Mario,
Regarding "lb4 example" with @loopback/cli v. 0.27, see above.

Thanks for the suggestion and info about new version. I will give it a try shortly (probably in a brand new virtual Ubuntu 18.04 VirtualBox machine, to avoid any possible contamination from the past. I'll let you know.

Kind regards (I'm impressed by the support ;-), really)

[koalabi]

With lb4 v. 0.28 at least (previous attempt with 0.27 deleted), the API explorer shows methods related to todo-list. I didn't try the explorer previously. However the published url (http://[::1]:3000) still yields the same 404 error as reported above.

However the published url (http://[::1]:3000) still yields the same 404 error as reported above.

Can you try localhost:3000 instead? , I think that address is for iPV6 ? and probably not supported for your os?

second thought, if you are reading the 404 is because it supports it 😄 I reproduced it. however, you can access the todo lists http://[::1]:3000/todo-lists

@marioestradarosa,

Just retried. As you supposed, localhost:3000 yields the same 404 error.

[marioestradarosa]

http://[::1]:3000/todo-lists
or
http://[::1]:3000/todo-lists/1/todos
to see childs of todo-lists id 1

the / , should present only a link to the api explorer (which I don't use usually, since I use postman). So, I go directly to the REST end points. like /todo-lists

or go to /explorer

[koalabi]

/todo-lists yields a JSON response:
[{"id":1,"title":"Sith lord's check list"},{"id":2,"title":"daily routine of POTUS"}]

and /todo-lists/count also yields:
{"count":2}

So, presumably, everything is fine (except the suggested URL)?

[marioestradarosa]

Exactly. The / should have presented an index with lb4 logo an a link to the api explorer. but again, that's not something I use on a regular basis, so found out it is apparently not working, or the Team removed it intentionally.

[marioestradarosa]

@b-admike , can you confirm if we should present something in the / ?

[b-admike]

Thanks @marioestradarosa for chiming in and helping @koalabi 👍. Great discussion, and yes the example todo application doesn't have the home page html/controller that @raymondfeng recently introduced into our templates (I have confirmed that it returns a 404). This might be a good indication that we need it for all of our examples (thoughts @marioestradarosa @raymondfeng @bajtos @strongloop/sq-lb-apex?). @koalabi for now, you can go to the API explorer if you have a browser at http://localhost:3000/explorer and check out the REST API endpoints.

@b-admike , could you please create a task for that? Can make it as an interrupt or stretch goal for Oct, since we intentionally leave some buffer for issues/questions from the community. Thanks.
