Debugging Guide

Directory Structure Errors

Issues related to directory structure can lead to unexpected behavior in your project. Ensure that your project's directory structure aligns with best practices and expected configurations.

Common Errors

• Incorrect Directory for Components: Components not placed in the expected directory may not be imported correctly.

  Resolution:

  • Verify that your components are located in the correct directory, typically components/.
  • Update import statements to reflect the correct path:

    import MyComponent from '../components/MyComponent';

• Misplaced Configuration Files: Configuration files like tailwind.config.js or .env.local need to be in the root directory.

  Resolution:

  • Ensure that configuration files are placed in the root directory of your project.
  • Verify that paths in your import statements are correct and relative to your file locations.

Config File Errors

Configuration files are crucial for setting up your project environment correctly. Errors in these files can cause various issues in your application.

Common Errors

• TailwindCSS Configuration Issues: Incorrect settings in tailwind.config.js can lead to styling problems.

  Resolution:

  • Verify that tailwind.config.js is properly set up. A typical configuration might look like this:

    module.exports = {
      content: [
        './pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}',
        './components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}',
      ],
      theme: {
        extend: {},
      },
      plugins: [],
    };

  • Ensure that the content paths correctly point to your source files.

• Invalid .env.local Variables: Errors in environment variables can affect application behavior.

  Resolution:

  • Check your .env.local file for syntax errors and ensure each variable is correctly defined. Example .env.local:

    NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api.example.com

  • Restart your development server to apply changes:

    npm run dev

Environment Errors

Environment-related issues often arise from misconfiguration or incorrect setup of the development or production environment.

Common Errors

• Incorrect Node.js Version: Using an incompatible Node.js version can cause compatibility issues.

  Resolution:

  • Check your Node.js version with:

    node -v

  • Ensure you are using a supported version as specified in the project’s documentation or .nvmrc file.
  • Update or switch Node.js versions if necessary using a version manager like nvm:

    nvm install <version>
    nvm use <version>

• Missing Dependencies: Dependencies required by your project might not be installed or correctly listed.

  Resolution:

  • Install missing dependencies with:

    npm install

  • Ensure that your package.json file lists all required dependencies and their versions. If dependencies are missing, add them manually and run npm install again.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively troubleshoot and resolve common issues related to directory structure, configuration files, and environment setups in your Electroplix project.
