Compile assets fails - Unexpected token

[Jorge Herskovic]

Driving me crazy - I can't compile assets due to a supposed syntax error in CoursesList.jsx. I've tried different versions of Node (0.12 and 6.4) on different version of Ubuntu (14.04LTS and 16.04LTS) and worked through similar tutorials online to no avail. I'm running ruby 2.1.8. This is a clean VM with nothing else on it.

Things I tried without success: npm install in canvas_i18nliner (a common "cure" for similar errors in several posts). Installing 'missing' packages according to npm output, most importantly react and react-dom ~15.1.0; setting locale environment variables properly before compiling assets; the origin/stable and origin/master branches. None of this seems to make a difference.

Any suggestions will be more than welcome.

You're most likely missing the .babelrc file from your Canvas root. An older version of the Production Start guide gave instructions for copying the repo in such a way that dot-files are skipped. I updated the docs last week.

Thanks Graham - I was indeed using ansible's clone module. Gonna try with the command-line git client and report back.

[Jorge Herskovic]

It wasn't that. It was that I was using 

cp -a * /opt/canvas 

to copy my files, instead of

cp -a . /opt/canvas

so, my bad. Thanks so much for the help.

The docs used to use `cp -a *`. I changed them last week to `cp -a .`.
