CKAN Development Install Issue: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'css/main.debug.css'
ckan
Solution
You need to run the `less` script from the `bin` directory in the CKAN source code to build the `main.debug.css` file. There is some documentation of this but it's not yet integrated with the rest of the CKAN docs (i.e. there's no link to it anywhere, we have a ticket to fix this).
This works on Ubuntu 12.04, you might need to have your virtualenv active when you do this:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
npm install less nodewatch
./bin/less # Assuming you're in your ckan dir e.g. `~/pyenv/src/ckan`
Now restart the `paster serve development.ini` command and it should work.
Generally speaking whenever running CKAN 2.0 for development you should:
- Have `debug = True` in your ini file
- Have `./bin/less` running in a terminal all the time
Problem
I've done a CKAN development install and am running with debug = true in my development.ini file. On visiting localhost:5000 I get an error with a traceback whose end point is the error: ``` AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'css/main.debug.css' ``` Caused by the call in lib/helpers.py: ``` r = getattr(fanstatic_resources, resource) ``` Any idea what I'm doing wrong and what I can do to fix this error.
