Hi,

I am having a few issues with trying to setup the nycschoolfinder app which is one of the example application which was built using the Tradeoff analytics Watson service.

Issue 1:

1. From Github, select Download ZIP to download the nycschoolfinder source code locally e.g. C:\IBM\Watson\nycschoolfinder-master https://github.com/germanattanasio/nycschoolfinder
2. Open a command prompt and change to the directory cd C:\IBM\Watson\nycschoolfinder-master
3. Specify the Bluemix external Watson service APIs cf api http://api.ng.bluemix.net
4. Login to Bluemix cf login -u username -p password
   e.g. cf login -u [email protected] -p password
5. Create the following Watson services
   • tradeoff analytics
   • personality insights
   • cloudant
   Open the manifest.yml file to see the service-name, service-plan and service-instance-name details. cf create-service service-name service-plan service-instance-name
   Commands to create tradeoff analytics services:
   cf create-service tradeoff_analytics standard tradeoff-analytics-standard-service
   Create personality insights service:
   cf create-service personality_insights standard personality-insights-service
   Create cloudant service:
   cf create-service cloudantNoSQLDB shared cloudant
6. Deploy and run the application on Bluemix
   The application-name is specified in the manifest.yml file. cf push application-name
   e.g. cf push nycschoolfinder2
7. Login to Bluemix to view the application and the services deployed. https://console.ng.bluemix.net/
8. Select the Cloudant NoSQL DB service and click Launch.
9. Click Add New Database and create 2 new databases called schools and tradeoffs.
   10 From Bluemix>Cloudant, select Service Credentials and click Add Credentials.
   These credentials can also be used to login through https://cloudant.com/
10. Select the application and the route URL is displayed. application-name.mybluemix.net
    nycschoolfinder2.mybluemix.net
11. Click on the Doing a demo link and copy some content from one of the txt files.
    Paste it in the input box and click Analyse.
12. I am currently getting the following error which I am investigating.
    Error:
    Data supplied is missing critical information. no options found
    

The NYC School Finder example seems to be missing the instructions on deploying the app to Bluemix, or what prerequisites are required before trying to run locally.

Issue 2:

1. I followed the running locally instructions specified in https://github.com/germanattanasio/nycschoolfinder.
2. When I try to run 'node app.js analyze' I get the following error:

C:\IBM\Watson\nycschoolfinder-master\node_modules\watson-developer-cloud\lib\index.js:65
throw new Error('Argument error: api_key or username and password

Hi,
I have a problem while deploying the NYC School finder application to local.
At the npm run train step, I got the following error in the node.js console

**C:\Projetcs\CPC\nycschoolfinder-master\node_modules\cloudant\lib\reconfigure.js:

if (outUrl.slice(-1) == '/') {

Please advice how this could be fixed.
Thanks

When I analyze my text, I get the Personality Insights results back, but the Tradeoff Analytics UI continues to infinitely show the loading gif. The console shows the following error, which may be related:
