V11 starter does not start up when following /start instructions.

V11 starter does not start up when following /start instructions.

[web-padawan]

The readme of the starter contains bower install:
https://github.com/vaadin/base-starter-react/blob/v11/README.md#running-the-application

[amahdy]

master should not be the download option for the start pages (for now), the zip file should be generated from https://github.com/vaadin/base-starter-react/archive/p3-preview.zip

It has been agreed long time that front-end starters should use P3, even though Vaadin platform does not support it yet. If for some reason someone really wants instructions for running React app with P2, instructions are available but not highlighted in the download button.

Please follow up the issue #3572 in webpage project internally.

the zip file should be generated from https://github.com/vaadin/base-starter-react/archive/p3-preview.zip

It it generated from V10 and V11 branches, respectively. Please see #12 and #13 for description why we cannot simply use P3 versions for now.

My opinion is that we should have a working Webpack config to be used with all the starters. Not sure how much are we ready to invest into this, for now I'm recommending users to use my own starter:
https://github.com/web-padawan/polymer3-webpack-starter

I've put significantly more effort into it, both CF and personal evening coding, and I believe that is how the proper starter should look like.

At least yarn install works.

Right now there is a big inconsistency between instructions listed on the /start pages and the downloaded zip file. So we need to at least download a properly working zip file.

1. We do not want to have bower instructions highlighted on our website.
2. We want to provide a working version of the source code with latest p3 features for front-end developers that do not care about Vaadin platform version.

Please switch the download to use the p3-preview zip file for now. Thanks

It is not working. Installing dependencies obviously works, but building does not.

Once we release V12 with the official Polymer 3 support, we will be able to switch starters to use it in case if these issues are fixed by that time (some of those are related to React tools).

Good, but for now, /start is a public web page and must contain a working zip file. If you can fix #3572 would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I need to talk to someone from the website team.

[web-padawan]

The zip file there is working, they should update starting instructions to match readme.

Vaadin 12 still has few months to go.

Fixed by #16 on the p3-preview branch, will merge to master once other starters are fixed.
