Hi folks,

I just pushed a new interactive sample that shows how customize the renderer in some common ways, including custom connection shapes.

Cheers,

Hello Rachel,

Thanks for the making this sample available. However, I could not get it load in my browser.

Here are system specs relevant to the build:

• OS - Windows 10
• Browser - Chrome (Version 78.0.3904.108)
• Node - v12.13.0
• Shell - cmd.exe

Here are the steps I took as per the instructions:

• Clone the  blockly-samples  repo 
• Switch to the  rendering-walkthrough  directory
• Run  npm install  
• Start server with  npm run start 
• Open page at http://localhost:3000

Unfortunately I was met with the following error in Chrome:

Any thoughts on where I went wrong?

I was able to resolve the issue.

It turns out to be a compatibility issue between node modules on Windows systems.

See bug report ERR_INVALID_REDIRECT when running http-server.

According to the above link this issue can be resolved in one of two ways.

1. Reference index.html directly ie. http://localhost:3000/index.html
2. Revert 'ecstatic' node module to version 3.0.0

The first one worked for me.

Thanks.  I'll update the readme to say to use the directly link, as the simplest solution.

Cheers,

Rachel

It appears this rendering walk-through is no longer available in GitHub. Has it been moved?

The rendering walk-through has moved to https://blocklycodelabs.dev/ with the code now at https://github.com/google/blockly-samples/tree/master/codelabs/custom_renderer
