Render (not) now working - kind of

[SIMONE MALAGÒ]

Hello everyone, 

I'm posting only to try to give a sort of comprehensive way to render json files once you get to the final step in SPREAD3.

In my experience, I kept bumping into the error below (screenshot stolen from another post, but it was the same for me):

Finally, I got to make it work. How?

I sent both the same executable and json file I was trying to use on my ubuntu PC to a colleague running a Windows machine.

She just started the spreaD3_v0.9.7.1rc.jar executable and loaded the .json file, then rendered and everything worked fine. - DON'T QUIT READING -

Everything kinda fine:

At first, I got the folder with "main.js", "index.html" and "data.json", but opening the index.html file it retrieved a browser page saying the file was empty.

I tested Firefox, edge, chrome, opera and zen. Nothing.

Then, searching into these posts, I bumped into this script in some other post.  

Launch it from inside the folder where you have the above-mentioned 3 files and it should work fine!

I know this knowledge is already present in this forum, but it seems a bit spread around (badum tss), so I hope this post can save someone some time in the future.

Tested the "new" html on Firefox and chrome.

Cheers
