Issues with Form Player

Hey everyone, I'm a web development student at Purdue University and I'm
using the open source CommCare application template for one of my senior
projects. I followed all of the directions as stated on the site, but when
I attempt to run one of my web apps, I'm told that im "unable to connect to
form playing service, please report an issue if you continue to see this
message". I'm not sure what I've done incorrectly as I've run through each
of the provided steps twice. Any possible tips or things to check for that
may help me understand whats going wrong with the formplayer? I'm able to
provide any additional information about my project as needed.

My primary objective is really just to learn more about how software such
as this operates from the inside, and how I can utilize many of the methods
used here to create my own applications.

If anyone would prefer to assist me privately, I can be contacted at
cgrundy@purdue.edu

Thanks you guys so much, any help is appreciated

Hi Cameron,

Have you setup and run the Formplayer process as described here
https://github.com/dimagi/formplayer?

Cheers,
Will

I looked into the documents that you pointed out but no issues are coming
up. I did see on the formplayer.readme that the commcarehq build
must be aligned with what I have running. Commcare build 2.0 is listed as
unstable so I updated the build to the latest version 2.34.
do I have to do something to the formplayer to align these? This is not a
forked install so i am trying to eliminate any connections to the original
source.

Yes I have! There were no errors when building, but it still doesnt work.

I don't think that would be causing the issue you're seeing. Could you
share the content of your Formplayer spring logs as well as the browser
console output? It will be hard to diagnose this issue without.

Thanks,
Will

Interesting - a few ideas:

  • have you set the FORMPLAYER_URL variable in your localsettings.py file
    to be the url and port running Formplayer?
  • when you open the terminal running Formplayer can you see any errors
    in the logs?
  • when you open the dev console in your browser likewise can you see any
    error messages?

Cheers,
Will
