Any thoughts on these warnings, please?

[Don Morrison]

I’ve inherited a set of three nodeGame games someone else wrote that
I’ve been asked to resuscitate. I seem to have gotten them working
fine, finally, but they’re each still spitting out a pair of warnings
when the launcher is started, for example (this is in nodeGame
v7.1.0):

| 2022-03-28T21:09:14.036Z warn: GameLoader.buildRequirementsConf: no
requirements directory. Game: GroupInvestment2. Level: game_proper
| 2022-03-28T21:09:14.050Z warn: GameLoader.loadAuthDir: channel
GroupInvestment2: authorization disabled in configuration file
| Requirements room created: GroupInvestment2

There IS a requirements/ directory, it contains

| dfm@janus:/home/ddmlab/experiments/nodegame/games_available/investment/GroupInvestment2/requirements$
ls
| total 16K
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 dfm ddmlab 3.7K Mar 25 08:13 requirements.js.sample
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 dfm ddmlab 4.2K Mar 25 08:13 requirements.room.js.sample
| -rw-rw-r-- 1 dfm ddmlab 3.3K Mar 25 08:13 requirements.settings.js

It not clear to me which configuration file I should be looking in for
the second warning. In particular, there appear to be no files
anywhere that contain the string “config”:

| dfm@janus:/home/ddmlab/experiments/nodegame/games_available/investment/GroupInvestment2$
find . -name '*config*'
| dfm@janus:/home/ddmlab/experiments/nodegame/games_available/investment/GroupInvestment2$

While APPARENTLY harmless, it seems it would be good to understand
them and make them go away. Any thoughts on what these warnings are
telling me I should fix, please?

Thanks!

Hi Don,

I believe the first warning is about a game level named "game_proper": there is no requirements directory in that level. You can specify specific requirements for each level, but most of the time it is not necessary, so probably that warning could be suppressed, at any rate please ignore.

For the second warning, inside the requirements folder, look inside the requirements.settings.js file. It should have a flag enabled: false inside. For an online experiment, I would re-enable it. More info here: https://github.com/nodeGame/nodegame/wiki/Requirements-Checkings-v7

Cheers,

Stefano
