Troubleshooting
A small list of "gotchas" is provided below for designers and developers starting to work with Ratchet.
- Ratchet is designed to respond to touch events from a mobile device. In order to use mouse click events (for desktop browsing and testing), you have a few options:
- Enable touch event emulation in Chrome (found in the overrides tab in the web inspector preferences)
- Use a JavaScript library like fingerblast.js to emulate touch events (ideally only loaded from desktop devices)
- Script tags containing JavaScript will not be executed on pages that are loaded with push.js. If you would like to attach event handlers to elements on other pages, document-level event delegation is a common solution.
- Ratchet uses XHR requests to fetch additional pages inside the application. Due to security concerns, modern browsers prevent XHR requests when opening files locally (aka using the
file://
protocol); consequently, Ratchet does not work when opened directly as a file.- A common solution to this is to simply serve the files from a local server. One convenient way to achieve this is to run
python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port>
to serve up the files in the current directory tohttp://localhost:<port>
- A common solution to this is to simply serve the files from a local server. One convenient way to achieve this is to run
Versioning
For transparency into our release cycle and in striving to maintain backward compatibility, Ratchet is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Sometimes we screw up, but we'll adhere to these rules whenever possible.
Releases will be numbered with the following format:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>
And constructed with the following guidelines:
- Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major while resetting minor and patch
- New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor while resetting the patch
- Bug fixes and misc changes bumps only the patch
