Linking local ACA to DW

lhobza — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 08:43:11 GMT

Hello,
is there any documentation on how to link local modified version of Alfresco content application to my local copy of Alfresco Digital workspace? I found some documentation in the source code of DW but it seems outdated as I could not make it work.

https://alfresco-content-app.netlify.app/#/getting-started/using-local-adf

for ACA, I presume you need running like: npm start content-ee -- --configuration=aca

I placed the solutions in one parent folder so I have:
parent/dw_sc - where the DW is located and
parent/alfresco-content-app-4.2.0 - where the ACA is located
both are version 4.2.0

When I run the command in the DW folder:
npm start content-ee -- --configuration=aca
I get an error:
NX error TS5012: Cannot read file 'C:/<path_to_parent_folder>/parent/dw_sc/tsconfig.aca.json': ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '\\?\C:\<path_to_parent_folder>\parent\dw_sc\tsconfig.aca.json'.

Am I doing something wrong?

All the linking happens in the typescript configuration files. Typically you should not rename the project names:

https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-applications/blob/f4779ca0e8305df0ac39ff819904aff916e278bd/tsconfig.aca.json#L5

In case of ADW, it looks for `../alfresco-content-app`

In case of linking ADF to ADW, the mappings are here https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-applications/blob/f4779ca0e8305df0ac39ff819904aff916e278bd/tsconfig.adf.json#L5

Thank you for the response but the links you posted do not work for me. Maybe they are only accessible for the interal users? Also even after a renamed the folder it does not work. I looked at the sourcode of DW and there is no tsconfig.aca.json and I think that is the reason it is not working for me (I even tried to download older versions from the Alfresco support portal and it is not even there ).

Could you please send me the tsconfig.aca.json?
