I'm trying to get through the LiftWeb Getting Started Tutorial.
This is what I've done:
Downloaded and unpacked the tar-file.
(Here I tried to do sbt update
as stated in the instructions, but it failed.)
Copied lift_blank/*
to project root.
Then sbt update
(successfully this time)
Copied the source code for Chat.scala and inserted the tag in webapp/index.html as instructed.
Executed sbt ~jetty-run
Opened a http://localhost:8080 in a browser.
But all I see is this:
which doesn't look like a chat-application to me.
What am I doing wrong?
I tried it my self and I must say that the tutorial isn't very clear about where to paste the div block.
Here's what I did in addition to the instructions on the tutorial page:
I pasted the given div snippet into the existing main div block of the index.html.
<div id="main" class="lift:surround?with=default;at=content">
<div class="lift:comet?type=Chat">
<ul>
<li>line</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
This should do it.
After running jetty, I could use the simple chat app.
Here's a screen shot of what I am seeing after running sbt ~jetty-run
Hope that helps

Btw, it even works with lift_blank:
