FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Plenum development environment from a fresh repository clone?

To set up a Plenum development environment from a fresh clone, you need to configure Python and Node.js dependencies, initialize virtual environments, install npm packages, and set frontend environment variables. This ensures reliable local tooling and accurate software development workflows.

Why does my Plenum build fail after installing dependencies?

Plenum build failures after installation often stem from misconfigured environment variables, port conflicts, or Docker setup problems. Diagnosing dependency issues and verifying database locations and local tooling configurations can resolve these reliable software development workflow errors.

Does the Plenum development environment require Docker and Playwright?

Yes, the Plenum development environment requires Docker for test stacks and Playwright for E2E testing preparation. Configuring these local tooling components alongside Python and Node.js dependencies ensures a reliable software development workflow.

What is the best way to configure VS Code for a Plenum project?

The best way to configure VS Code for a Plenum project is to apply accurate environment configuration and dependency installation guidance. Setting up the Python virtual environment and Node.js modules ensures reliable software development workflows and proper local tooling integration.

How do I prepare a Playwright E2E testing environment for a smart thermostat repository?

Preparing a Playwright E2E testing environment for a smart thermostat repository involves setting up the frontend and backend builds, resolving Node.js dependencies, and configuring Docker test stacks. Accurate environment configuration ensures reliable local testing workflows.

Why are my Docker test stacks failing to start during Plenum environment setup?

Docker test stacks fail during Plenum environment setup due to unconfigured environment variables, port conflicts, or missing frontend build artifacts. Resolving these dependency issues and verifying local tooling configurations ensures reliable software development workflows.
