Production Start says rich content editor is required now, but it doesn't seem to be

[Dave Morse]

Production Start says:

Starting July 14, 2018, the stable branch of canvas-lms will require this service to be running and configured for full rich content editing functionality.

I last pulled on July 19th, and it seems to me the wysiwyg editor works okay - I can insert equations in assignments and such.  Is Production Start wrong?

Yes and no, as I have found out. The RCE sidebar enhancements require a separate service to be running that is not included in Canvas Core.

As far as the docs say https://github.com/instructure/canvas-rce-api is the service that needs to be running. I have not figured out how to get this thing to be stable, the lack of releases makes this insanely difficult to rely upon.
