Vaadin on Openshift

General
1

Hi all,

I just created my first Vaadin application. The application works fine on my local server.

I want to upload this app to Openshift.

I followed the instructions here:
https://www.openshift.com/kb/kb-e1088-how-to-deploy-pre-compiled-java-applications-war-and-ear-files-onto-your-openshift-gear

The app has been uploaded, but the only thing that is displayed is text. No panels or CSS or anything.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thank you!

Old post and probably resolved already, but: you should probably pre-compile the theme from .scss to .css and include the CSS file in the WAR. That way, there is no need for the server to even try to recompile the theme on the fly, and page load performance will be significantly better.

When production mode is enabled, on-the-fly theme compilation is disabled anyway so having a pre-compiled theme is a must.
