[$60] - Fix the local deployment of the Arena

[birdofpreyru]

Clone https://github.com/appirio-tech/arena-web and try to deploy it locally according to README.md. You will see, that grunt command fails due to some broken dependencies. Your goal here is to fix the local deployment, so that it does deploy and works similarly to the production version at https://arena.topcoder.com. Make sure to modify README.md so that it is clear how to rapidly deploy the Arena locally.

@birdofpreyru A quick question I have corrected the grunt errors and the application builds successfully locally. When i try to browse the application it redirects me to the live login screen and after login it take me to live tc dashboard. Should we correct the code to fix this behaviour?

[birdofpreyru]

@lijulat Are you able to access the locally deployed Arena, if after the login you manually type its address into URL? If yes, then I'm okey with that (this behavior is not good, but the same happens when I'm accessing the production version of Arena without being logged in), but it should be mentioned in README.md.

Also, please verify that it is generally working properly. E.g. when you interact with that, asking to load problems, compile code, etc. it communicates with the proper remote API, and works similarly to the live version in prod.

@birdofpreyru i am unable to verify because its configured to http://tc.cloud.topcoder.com/ which i think is a locally deployed version . Do you have details for the live api ?

[lijulat]

@birdofpreyru I would need the correct websocket url currently it is http://tc.cloud.topcoder.com:5016.

I managed to get the other urls from the tc-site repo.

[birdofpreyru]

@lijulat Do you mean, you can't figure out yourself the correct URL for this socket?
@ajefts Do you know what does this correspond to, and what should be the correct URL?

[lijulat]

@birdofpreyru yes. Since all the urls in the config are not valid or refer to some locally deployed urls. Couple of the urls i was able to figure out the hosted ones from the tc-site config. But there is URL named websocket url which I am unable to figure out.

[birdofpreyru]

@lijulat Ok, let's wait for a reply from @ajefts, I guess he just knows what this URL should be.
