Troubleshooting
If you're having problems contributing, we want to help:
- ask for help in Discord. Or DM Paul Biggar directly if you prefer.
- make an issue describing the problem, and someone will come help.
Common fixes:
- Sometimes there are compilation problems where the build caches from various
package managers we use (NuGet) develop problems. They can be fixed by
clearing the build directories (which are in Docker volumes) by running the
related scripts:
- for dotnet errors, use
./scripts/build/clear-dotnet-build(run in the container when it is running) - to clear the database, use
./scripts/build/clear-all-local-dbs(run from the host when the container is stopped) - for other errors, use
./scripts/build/clear-builder-volumes(run from the host when the container is stopped)
- for dotnet errors, use
- If you're having issues with building the dockerfile (or opening the remote
dockerfile in VSCode):
- Update FORCE_BUILD in the Dockerfile to the next highest number, which will force a fresh build
- Ensure you are not running as root (including calling
script/builderusingsudo)
