New issue 856 by tlholaday: "Getting Started" Tutorial
broken: ../gears_init.js not found, tutorial_manifest.json not found
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=856
Diagnosis:
(a) the tutorial file go_offline.html specifies "../gears_init.js" but it
should specify "gears_init.js" (or direct the tutee to put gears_init.js
into a parent directory).
(b) the tutorial file go_offline.js initializes MANIFEST_FILENAME as
"tutorial_manifest.json", but according to the tutorial instructions, the
tutee should rename the manifest file to "manifest.json" beforehand.
Suggest Cure:
(a) change go_offline.html to link "gears_init.js" [and possibly make
tutorial/gears_init.js a symbolic link to ../gears_init.js on the Google
server if you do not want two copies]
(b) change the go_offline.js MANIFSET_FILENAME to "manifest.json" or change
the tutorial to omit the step to rename tutorial_manifest.json.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Follow the instructions at
http://code.google.com/apis/gears/tutorial.html
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
a) "Yeay, Google Gears is installed." --> "NOTE: You must install Gears
first."
b) "The documents are now available offline." --> "Error: Download of
[...]/tutorial_manifest.json failed>"
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.5, Firefox 3.0.7, OS X Leopard.
