need help in setting up BigBlueButton html5 client development environment

[Rajesh Mallah]

Dear BBB Community,

We are attempting to setup development environment for certain enhancement

and customization to the html5 client. I am following the 

https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/2.2/dev.html like everyone else.

the problem is that i am not able to load the client from the development
folder.

My observation and doubt are as below.

1. when we do nmp start in  ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-html5

the server listens on port 4000  but /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/bbb-html5.nginx

expects the htmlclient at port 3000

location @html5client {
 proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
 proxy_http_version 1.1;
 proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
 proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
}
....

....

location /_timesync {
 proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
}

2. Even if i change the PORT in package.json from 4000 to 3000 the ROOT_URL
has a trailing /1 , what does it mean?

ROOT_URL=http://127.0.0.1/html5client/1 meteor run --port=4000

Kindly guide

I see

https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/commit/39257aa2d800904a5428281b01fa677f0e5aacc5#diff-74e8d1f64f49dca98b0912dc60601454c8c96873af2f93e83055de948003bf9e

Probably i should be checking out a different branch. dev of 2.3-*  happens in develop looks like.

:-)

finally the problem got resolved by checking out the master branch

and following the instructions.

I think the instructions will need amendments for the 2.3 version.

Or there should be a note that one should work on the appropriate

branch.

I general people would just clone the repository and try to follow

the instructions.
