unit test failure - No such file or directory: 'PyBloqs/pybloqs/static/highstock.js' about pybloqs HOT 4 CLOSED

Thank you very much for testing this!

The essential error seems to be "No such file or directory: highstock.js".
Please check if the highcharts js files are in pybloqs/static/

I assume they are not. In that case please post:

1. the contents of the node_modules/highcharts directory (I assume you use npm to download highcharts),
2. the full command that you used with load_highcharts
3. the output of that command.
   Cheers.

Thanks for responding. HighCharts is NOT installed. It seems it must be? Per the documentation:

"HighCharts (optional; ... )"

I assumed it was 100% optional. It seems its only optional for normal use, but NOT optional to run the tests. Is this correct?

Well, to quote the README: "To create blocks with Highcharts plots, you need to download Highcharts separately" and the full functionality is tested. The tests could have a flag to check whether it is bare-bones install, but then the flag should probably be set by default to on and everyone doing development would need to know about it. So there are arguments for both sides.

The "HighCharts is optional" is from a user perspective. I hope that with CircleCI (which downloads and sets up HighCharts) running for forks the testing is easier.

ok, good to know. It makes sense. I had erroneously assumed that HighBlocks would supersede some other functionality, but this is not the case. Thanks for confirming!
