Theme/Component Installation Error

Genyus is experiencing a 500 error when trying to install a theme component from a GitHub repository in their local development instance. They provided the error log, but were unsure how to debug further.

PFaffman suggested trying the Beginner’s Guide to Using Theme Creator and Theme CLI, which worked for Genyus using Theme CLI.

However, Genyus is still experiencing issues installing themes and components from public repositories, including official ones, and would like to resolve the issue to avoid running multiple terminals for each session.

PFaffman asked if Genyus is behind a firewall or has a strange network configuration, but Genyus confirmed they have a regular home broadband connection and WiFi network.

Hi, I’m developing a theme component for a project and created a GitHub repo for it, but when I try to install it (or any other remote theme/component) in my local development instance, I just get a 500 error. This is what I’m seeing in the log, but I’m not sure how to debug further?

Have you tried the Beginners’ guide to using Theme Creator and Theme CLI to start building a Discourse theme. Does it work that way?

3

D’oh! :man_facepalming:t5: Thanks, Jay! I already had the Theme CLI installed, I’d just forgotten about it. That works fine.

4

Well, then you’ve got the theme part right.

Is it in a public repo? Maybe that’s the part you’ve got wrong.

5

Yes, it’s in a public repo, but I get the same error even when I try to install official themes and components. I’d love to figure it out though, as I’m working on two components, so plus the two needed for Discourse itself, that means I need to run a total of four terminals for each session :grimacing:

Are you behind some kind of firewall or some strange network?

7

No, just a regular home broadband connection and wifi network, no estoric network configuration.
