1046385 - Cannot download loop-client.zip file and run code

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect, P5)

Description

[Peter deHaan [:pdehaan]]

### Steps to reproduce:
1. Download https://github.com/mozilla/loop-client/releases/tag/0.3.2
2. unzip code.
3. run `make config` from the /loop-client-0.3.2/ directory.


### Actual results:
```
$ make config
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
```


### Expected results:
It shouldn't fail if the directory isnt an hg or git repo (which it wouldn't be if you downloaded a standalone release ZIP).


### Workaround:
Comment out the following code:

```
# Try hg first, if not fall back to git.
# SOURCE_STAMP := $(shell hg parent --template '{node|short}\n' 2> /dev/null)
# ifndef SOURCE_STAMP
# SOURCE_STAMP := $(shell git describe --always --tag)
# endif

# SOURCE_DATE := $(shell hg parent --template '{date|date}\n' 2> /dev/null)
# ifndef SOURCE_DATE
# SOURCE_DATE := $(shell git log -1 --format="%H%n%aD")
# endif
```

Actually, http://localhost:3000/ and http://localhost:3000/test/ doesn't work either when downloading and installing from the ZIP file.

http://localhost:3000/         - "Cannot GET /" 
http://localhost:3000/content/ - "Loop - Welcome to the Loop web client."
http://localhost:3000/test/    - "Cannot GET /test/"

We're not publishing the zip file any more, so marking this as wontfix.
