`ignite` references

Question

`ignite` references

fmorency opened this issue a year ago · comments

PR cosmos/cosmos-sdk#15521 removed all references to ignite from the CosmosSDK repository. ignite is no longer recommended by CosmosSDK. However, ignite is still referred to across the developer portal documentation, confusing new users (like me).

What's Cosmos' position?

Ignite has been removed in that PR because it wasn't following the Cosmos SDK best practices and giving issues to users.
The tutorials from the developer portal were created before that change of advice and are severely outdated (they describe a deprecated version of the SDK).

Since the removal, Ignite has improved and removed the package that was causing user issues. We haven't had time to reevaluate.

From what I am getting new tutorials will be created without Ignite, and the current one may be updated to use the latest Ignite (which includes the latest SDK).

Thanks, @julienrbrt, this is helpful! Is anyone already working on the new tutorials? How can one best contribute?

I am working on a small addition to the hands-on exercise. https://github.com/cosmos/developer-portal/pull/23/files

What it does is explain how to create a small checkers module, similar to the larger Ignite-assisted hands-on exercise, but this time "by hand", with Cosmos version 0.50.

The existing Ignite-assisted hands-on exercise remains at v0.45.4.

For the time being, I am interested in reproducibility issues.

Would it help if I reviewed your tutorial and reproduced your results?

Can you wait 10 days? I am waiting for Tx of autocli, which is what Julien is working on.

Of course. Simply poke me when you're ready.

@fmorency The update is ready. Can you please try to reproduce the hands-on-exercise part?

Nice. Perhaps you can open a Draft PR to your main branch from https://github.com/fmorency/chain-minimal/tree/tutorial-end so that we can see the small changes.
