Troubleshooting

Ensure you are working off the latest release and/or the latest commit from the main branch.

Community features are not accessible

Make sure you add USE_COMMUNITY_FEATURES=True to your .env file.

Make sure you run the following command before running make dev:

make migrate

Make sure that all requirements including postgres are properly installed.

If you're using MacOS, run:

brew install postgresql

For other operating systems, you can check the postgres documentation.

To debug any of the backend logic while the Docker containers are running, you can run:

make dev

This will run the Docker containers with reloading enabled, then in a separate shell window, run:

make attach

This will attach an interactive shell to the backend running, now when your backend code hits any

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

it will allow you to debug.
