Description:

I have done all the steps as mentioned in the getting started guide till spinning up the story book server but it is showing an error as
[!] Error: Could not resolve './EmbeddedChatApi.ts' from ../api/dist/index.mjs

The File './EmbeddedChatApi.ts' doesn't even exist in the particular directory

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use 16.19.0 node version.
2. Now run yarn in the root folder.
3. Now change your directory to packages\react.
4. Run yarn storybook.

Expected behavior:

The components should be displayed without any error

Hey @Chocola04 The build process might not have executed successfully. You can try manually building the api package. Go to packages/api and run yarn build

Hey @abhinavkrin do we need to run the rocket.Chat server just to view storybook components

@abhinavkrin I'm facing a issue while setting up local environment.

Not able to type or send messages. When I click join, it asks me for email and password. When I enter email and password nothing happens.

Hey @Chocola04 @harisudarsan1 , In packages/auth and in packages/api, look for rollup.config.js, replace the external parameter in both config files in the bundle function to:

id => {
    return id[0] !== '.' && !path.isAbsolute(id);
  },
})

from

id => !/^[./]/.test(id),

Make sure to import path module in both config files using:

import path from 'path';

After doing these changes, run your build again, it will work:

Refer to this PR for video instruction to build it on windows: #406

@ameeetgaikwad , Check if your local instance of rocket chat server has 2FA disabled. There is a bug that login doesn't work as expected when 2FA is enabled. I have raised a issue and PR for the same, you can refer to it: #400
