Getting an error in the example in the getting-started-guide part2 - basic_yql.
After "mojito start" and going to http://localhost:8666/flickr or http://localhost:8666/pineapples, getting an error:

A teammate was able to replicate the error.

I am the teammate who works with Dmitry. It looks like the api_key has already expired (when debug in YQL). Would that be a useful feature if Mojito could tolerant JS error, e.g. having the try catch block in the main function instead of letting arbitrary random error halting the whole server?

thanks for the heads up. I believe @lzhan fixed this just now with /pull/550

@yukinying I agree, that example code is not production quality code.

see also /pull/554

[dmitris]

The API key works, but the example still does not due to missing file mojits/Flickr/views/bar.hb.html If I add that file, it looks ok - not sure what exactly was supposed to go in that view.

The bar view is called in controller.server.js
https://github.com/yahoo/mojito/blob/develop/examples/getting-started-guide/part2/basic_yql/mojits/Flickr/controller.server.js#L29

         ac.done({images: images}, {view: {name: 'bar'}});

Thanks for filing the issue! I've added the missing 'bar.hb.html' template so that the app works.
