Development guides / ui-dev issue

[mginster]

First off, are there any guides to assisting with development in reef-pi?

I am starting some development on reef-pi and am a novice at development. I am on Windows and believe I have my environment all setup properly. I setup based on this guide: https://reef-pi.github.io/additional-documentation/development/

- When trying to run "make ui-dev" it completes, yet I cannot get to anything on localhost:8080
- I did have to remove an argument from api.go in the calls to utils.SystemdExecute as they had 3 arguments and it only accepts 2. I edited lines 204 and 231 to "return utils.SystemdExecute("reef-pi-install.service", false)"

I can’t help with the question but I can bump the thread to see if we can get you some help

I was able to use start-dev and it works.

Still wondering about those two lines though. I wouldn’t think anyone would have committed something that won’t compile.

reef-pi will not compile on windows without some work. Reef-pi uses linux specific (systemd) and raspberry pi specific (vcgencmd, i2c) things that needs some changes. DevMode bypasses only the raspberry pi side. I do not use windows, hence i will not be able to validate what required to get it back working in windows again.
