I have installed dashing and set up a on a windows 8 machine, when I run

>dashing start

and navigate to http://localhost:3030, chrome cannot load the page.

If I navigate to the directory I have dashing installed and start up a thin webserver by calling

>thin start -a 127.0.0.1 -p 3030

I'm able to get the site started and it returns Using rack adapter, but this is just hosting the site, not running dashing.

How can I find some diagnostic information about the dashing startup?

  • There's nothing being printed to cmd or powershell, and `> dashing start > c:\temp\output.txt` creates an empty file. So it doesn't get to the point of any output. – StuperUser Jan 29 '14 at 16:36
  • Sorry to resurrect an old post, but did you find a solution to this? I have a similar silent start up when using dashing on an openSUSE Linux box. When I type dashing start nothing happens and I can't access the page – Mark Aug 22 '16 at 20:42
  • @Mark, sorry, this was two jobs ago and I don't have access to the environment. It worked on particular machines, but that's all I remember. – StuperUser Aug 22 '16 at 21:17
  • No problems - thanks for replying. I'll keep trying to figure it out. It's difficult to track down with no errors showing – Mark Aug 22 '16 at 21:19

Some issues in the Dashing repo suggest using a different webserver, such as Webrick or Puma.

See Browser Support on Windows 7 , Widgets not animating in Windows 7 .

Are there any errors in the java console? The sample app fails silently for me on OSX when viewing with Chrome, with an error of "Encoding::UndefinedConversionError: \"\xE2\" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8\n (in my_project_dir/widgets/comments/comments.coffee)" , which turned out to be the left and right quotation marks in comments.coffee.
