Initial load screen disappears after a brief display

[jwu910]

Actual: When starting Check It Out in a large project, the initial loading text will display before promptly disappearing for the remainder of the load time.

Expected: The loading text should be displayed during the entire load process.

---

I think this has to do with the order of operations that take place during initial start up time. The loading text should persist until we successfully fetch and parse all of our information needed.

This is much easier tested on a large project.

This is a large enough project with years of git refs.

Note: Please refer to Contributing guidelines before starting development. Thanks!

Hi, I liked the concept behind this and the way it is working and I would like to contribute to this 😄 . But I have few doubts regarding how to set up and work in development mode. I installed and ran npm run watch but I am a little confused how the dev commands are tested, I am kind of new to this node environments.

Hi @JayaKrishnaNamburu , I'd be happy to try and help walk you through setting up.

Until I get a test suite set up, local development testing is pretty much all user acceptance testing through manual clicks.

In the project folder you can run npm link which will bind the check it out command cio and checkit to the build files for your local repo. Then when you run Check It Out, it will use the build files from your repo rather than your npm global node_modules directory.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions
