I just installed makemehapi earlier this evening using npm and the validation exercise doesn't show up at all. Has anyone run into this issue? I'm thinking maybe it's something to do with npm not having the latest updates to the repo? I'm a newbie so I could be completely mistaken.

Currently we are using hyperquest. Can we move to wreck ? As wreck can satisfied our requirement and plus point is wreck is #hapijs module.

Hi Ben/Lin,

While helping a student through the makemehapi validation exercise 9,
The problem https://github.com/hapijs/makemehapi/blob/master/exercises/validation/problem.md hint suggests:

var routeConfig = {
    path: '/a/path/{with}/{parameters}',
    method: 'GET',
    handler: myHandler,
    validate: {
        params: {
            with: Joi.string().required(),
            parameters: Joi.string().required()
        }
    }
}

but the https://github.com/hapijs/makemehapi/blob/master/exercises/validation/solution/solution.js wraps the handler & validation in a config object:

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/chickens/{breed}',
    config: {
        handler: function (request, reply) {
            reply('You asked for the chicken ' + request.params.breed);
        },
        validate: {
            params: {
                breed: Joi.string().required()
            }
        }
    }
});

_Confusing_ to students.
Can I tidy it up an submit a PR?

It looks like the expected type for the 'engines' property of the server options has changed. I am now getting the error message "Error: Invalid view options "handlebars" value must be an object".

When you npm update, this change affects the views and helping exercises.

i.e. writing two plugins, exposing something in one, using it in the other?

Motivation

The handling ex. has the html formatted with 4 space indentation and the directories ex. has the html formatted with 2. It's frustrating when during verification you fail because the indentation is different.

Solution

Have the spacing in verified html files conform to either 2 space indentation or 4 space indentation.

Hi Ben/Lin,

While going through the Makemehapi proxy exercise the student I was helping was stuck because the instructions suggest one port when the solution is another.

The Problem: https://github.com/hapijs/makemehapi/blob/master/exercises/proxies/problem.md
gives the hint code:

handler: {
    proxy: {
        host: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 8080
    }
}

But the solution https://github.com/hapijs/makemehapi/blob/master/exercises/proxies/solution/solution.js
is actually:

handler: {
    proxy: {
        host: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 65535
    }
}

This was confusing/frustrating to the student... :-(
Can I change it and submit a PR?

After running through the steps in makemehapi last night, I thought it might be nice if the routes for each step were prefixed by the step number or in some other way distinct. That way, you can keep adding routes to the same file and building up the app along the way. If the routes were distinct each step would still run and verify.

this error occurs when you try to use an old stream with hapi8 (related to #99). rot13-stream is a very old implementation. https://github.com/ajcrites/rot13-transform works better.

managing basic, non-yar* sessions

• unless extra dependency okay

Start hapi on port 0 so that we use an available port

I'm having problems when trying to run or verify solutions:

I have no problems running solutions with node.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

rather then expecting hardcoded version (0.3.3), try to look into module package.json and extract version from it

see also https://github.com/spumko/furball/issues/8

for the last exercise (#8) i have to install rot13-stream? i don't understand that hint. I just want to learn good because a get lose in that part.

When running the example solution to views I get this error

I also get the same error when just trying to start the server using port 8080 not running it with makemehapi.

Using node 0.10.29

I can parse the POST body and have it print to the console just fine, but when I comment out the console.log line and comment in the response.end line it only works for the first request, then the rest of tests come back empty (not even as "" - see results after code)

Here's my code:

var http = require('http');

var server = http.createServer(function callback (request, response)
{
  request.on('data', function (chunk)
  {
    chunk = chunk.toString().toUpperCase();
    //console.log(chunk);
    response.end(chunk);
  });
});

server.listen(process.argv[2]);

Here are my results:

✗ Submission results match expected

I was just checking the open system processes and found quite a few "makemehapi" processes were still running. Seems like some process doesn't shut down properly?!

Because we're using the workshopper functionality to test output, learners can have a solution that is conceptually correct but still fail. For example, the indentation might be different or they might not have new lines where the solution file expects them.

Instead, we can just set up the exercises to use simple strings, like the first two exercises do.

The current cookie lesson asks for the solution to present a {path*} scope. Why? I can't find a reason on this in the problem.md?

Here is the solution reference?!

Show how to accept path params and do something with them

Currently, if you run npm install or npm update in the submission directory, it will download 6.0.0. However, package.json is set to 5.x.x. This causes problems due to #45.

I'm guessing that we should up package.json to 6.0.0.

NodeSchool and makemehapi are cool, but the hinting mechanism needs to evolve if this is expected to be used at home for newbs. I asked about the following in #Hapi but no wanted wanted to deal with me at the time, which is completely fine. Problem with NodeSchool and makemehapi is they're made by leading industry experts, but this can be a bad perspective to create a app for a potential complete noob alone at home. That's just my 2cents, now the issue:

I'm following everything to the tee and tried a handful of variations for the Hello Hapi course but I am pro at getting the following error:

stream.js:94
      throw er; // Unhandled stream error in pipe.

I created a repo for this which contains the source producing the error here:
mikeumus/hellohapi#1

I forgot to run verify on the helping exercise. It currently fails because the solution server returns a 500 error.

It turns out that the server created in solution.js is looking for the helpersPath directory in the makemehapi directory tree, not in the directory that the user is running verify from. I would expect this to work in the same way as the templates path but it doesn't seem to.

Add tutorials on using a couple authentication methods

I think 0.2.4 brings new exercises in makemehapi. So menu options screenshot from readme should be changed to show new exercises.

1.    ACTUAL:  "<html><head><title>Hello Handling</title></head><body>Hello Handling</body></html>"
1.  EXPECTED:  "<html>"

2.    ACTUAL:  ""
2.  EXPECTED:  "    <head><title>Hello Handling</title></head>"

3.    ACTUAL:  
3.  EXPECTED:  "        Hello Handling"

4.    ACTUAL:  
4.  EXPECTED:  "    </body>"

5.    ACTUAL:  
5.  EXPECTED:  "</html>"

6.    ACTUAL:  
6.  EXPECTED:  ""

There is no opening body tag and the html should optionally have a replaced whitespace as valid answer.
(The html is minify, because I use jade as template engine. But still my html looks valid to me.)

I use the latest makemehapi

The problem description uses the validate option inside the route object instead of the config property of the route object. Take a look at https://github.com/hapijs/makemehapi/blob/master/exercises/validation/problem.md

Currently, the response listener only fails on 404, so 500s pass. This should be changed to only pass on 200.

I believe this issue is with workshopper and I have added a PR there (workshopper/workshopper#53) which fixes it, but I wanted to note the issue here too in case anyone runs into it.

When I try to select any of the menu options, I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/makemehapi/node_modules/workshopper/menu.js:63
    if (opts.extras.indexOf(name.toLowerCase()) != -1)
                    ^
