Build issues when running the project locally

[Ashish-Dobhal]

Hi Team,

Thanks for open sourcing the source code. I have been trying to run the app locally and get a build time error.
Below is the stack trace of the error.

Please let me know if I am being silly h
Before reaching this stage I had to create a db discourse-dev else there were issues in the build this too. I think this step could be add to the README or added directly to the build.

Hi @Ashish-Dobhal
Discourse Java is providing notification using firebase. So In Resource folder you will need to provide forums-firebase.json file which contains firebase credential configuration.

Sample forums-firebase.json Structure
{
"type": "test",
"project_id": "",
"private_key_id": "",
"private_key": "",
"client_email": "",
"client_id": "",
"auth_uri": "",
"token_uri": "",
"auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "",
"client_x509_cert_url": ""
}

thanks @vishu184 will try this now.
Just realised it I had to login to firebase -> create a project -> navigate to project settings and generate private key
example url: https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project<project_name>/settings/serviceaccounts/adminsdk
We can add these steps to the README as well.

@vishu184 I was able to sort out the issue with firebase now the backend boots but with elastic search errors but the app loads up fine. But when I click on the sign in btn there are errors on the next page. Could u pelase tell me how this can be resolved
