I have only just got around to doing week 2 of the course because of other live issues.

 

Following the video It refers to apessentials not apstart, I asked one of my work mates and he showed me how to copy/paste project files in Studio but it does not rename/change all references to apstart.

 

The zip file has lots of apessentials files in there but each one I try and open after extracting does not work in studio. "Invalid input for Mule editor" is one example.

 

Please help?

 

What happens if I can't get this weeks homework completed because of these issues by tomorrow morning US time ?

 

Thanks

    Stephen,

     

    The zip file that you receive after you send in your homework is the solution for your project thus far. if the solution is for, say week-3, it will include all the flows until the end of week-3. You don't need to import this into your Studio, unless the project you yourself built isn't working. If your project that you build is already working, keep using that going forward instead.

     

    Secondly, the project name, whether it is apstart or apessentials, does not matter. But to keep up with the videos, keep the name apessentials. You can always rename a project by right-clicking on the top-level project folder and selecting "Refactor > Rename" option.

     

    As per your comments, you said that you used the solution zip file to import the project into Studio, and then removed all flows except for apessentialsFlow and start following the videos to build other flows. There is no problem with that...except you don't want end up creating duplicate connectors that use the same port numbers which can cause failures in running the project. You can verify and see if you have any duplicate connectors or not by clicking on Global Elements tab on your canvas (it's the middle tab) and check to see if you have any duplicate connectors using the same port numbers. If so, delete the duplicate connectors. Also, keep an eye on Problems tab...this will tell you if you have any other issues in your project. Once you eliminate all possible issues from Problems tab, give it a try and run your app again and see if it works.
