Cloud9 IDE Puns

So it took me a bit of troubleshooting to install boto3 Python SDK on the cloud9 IDE and I'd like to ask more experienced devs why what I did to make it work worked.

Module One (amazon.com)

So I create the cloud9 environment.

install boto3 with sudo pip install boto3 (sudo is required for this to work)

and then try to run the "create_table.py" file with python creat_table.py

but I get the error on step "import boto3: no module found"

It ends up working when I run sudo python create_table.py and i read in some stack_overflow that a sudo command will install a module in some different location? I'm just wondering if someone has explanation or advice for noob me about whats this all about, especially since this tutorial didn't work out of the box for me.

EDIT: installing boto3 with python -m pip install boto3 without using sudo solves the problem for me. You can check boto package with: python -m pip show boto3

Hey everyone,

I used to do a lot of Rails dev around 2013-2016 using Nitrous IDE, then Cloud9. When Cloud9 was acquired by Amazon, my projects all had about no traffic so I simply packaged up my workspaces and saved copies for if or when I needed to work on a site again.

Well…now is that time! One of those old projects I need to get running again, pretty much as soon as possible. Getting Rails working on the news AWS Cloud9 with my old sites repo has been troublesome for about two weeks, and still I can’t get rails s to work (also I’m pretty rusty and working a full time job separately).

Anyways, is there a different cloud IDE someone may recommend instead, or have any general tips? Is Windows now a more viable Rails platform to dev on? I don’t have a Mac so that’s why I prefer the cloud IDE.

Thanks everyone!

Edit: GitPod.io seems to be pretty great! Like Nitrous, but better!

I've been looking at ways to minimize latency. I'm using a WebSockets with Alpaca & polygon.io. Would using cloud based IDEs help improve latency provided the server location is close to Alpaca & polygon.io? For example, would AWS Cloud9 with the region set to us-east-1 (North Virginia, the closet region to polygon.io & Alpaca) be a good idea? And other tips on minimizing latency would be appreciated by this novice algo trader!

I've recently thought about trying to use a cloud IDE of some kind for my main development. I like the idea of having my code somewhere I can get to it from basically anything that has an internet connection. My desktop, my laptop, a cheap Chromebook, whatever. No having to deal with setting up an entire development environment on each machine I want to use. I find myself jumping around alot, which originally led to my code having a lot of "moving to other machine" commits in it, and now I just keep all of my active code in OneDrive, which has it's own host of issues.

I like the idea of Cloud9 since it's tied to an EC2 instance, meaning I would have more control of the machine that it's running on than some other cloud based IDEs I've briefly looked at in the past. Though this means there would be a monthly cost, as opposed to VS Code that's free, for example (though I do also pay for IntelliJ ultimate). In theory you could set up a very small EC2 instance for say Rails development, set it up to be the perfect Rails development environment, and then set up a completely different one for NodeJS or something. No Docker containers or anything to deal with.

Other than the obvious downside of not being able to work on your code offline, I can't think of much reason to not use a cloud IDE, especially for web dev. Maybe it wouldn't be ideal for enterprise Java development or something. Anyone else tried it? What did you think?

EDIT: apparently there is an old Cloud9 versus the new AWS Cloud9 (someone mentioned AWS acquiring Cloud9). I am using AWS Cloud9.

The book recommends Cloud9, but I am having issues and hitches - hung up on one right now, and I went to the AWS subreddit and saw this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/a1csqq/cloud9_is_a_cool_idea_but_is_terribly_implemented/

I'm on a mac, perhaps its just better to try to setup and develop on my own computer with rails instead of Cloud9. I feel like I'm wasting time.

Note: had a question yesterday here on /r/rails about an issue with Cloud9 not even previewing my application, no response and not sure what to do after the google search and trying a few things.

$ sudo yum install redis

*already did this - this gives me:

Package redis-3.2.12-2.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version

When I run Sidekiq: You are connecting to Redis v3.2.12, Sidekiq requires Redis v4.0.0 or greater

I can't figure out how to get this to update. $ bundle update/install shows Using redis 4.1.3 (as does the gemfile.lock)

I got it to update on heroku by eliminating redis-to-go and adding Heroku Redis add-on - still not right in development though.

*Solved - I ended up restarting my workspace with Ubuntu instead of Amazon Linux - It had redis at Redis server v=4.0.9 which got me what I needed to run in both dev and production.

Hi All,

I just finished watching a presentation on Cloud9 and codestar at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxQUo3kwTEA .

I want to have a play with Cloud9, however when I create a project via Coodestar, Cloud9 is not listed as an IDE option. (as per the video Starting around the 16min mark)

I am in the Sydney region which appears to have Cloud9 available. I can also spin up a Cloud9 environment manually but not using Codestar.

Does anyone have any idea what I am missing??

Thanks

Just trying to figure out if the site's down or it's something wrong on my side.

Has anyone attempted configuring Cloud9 for use with Rust? I'd like to use it to throw a little more meat behind the compiler than my laptop provides, but without any language support Cloud9 is not much better than straight vi.

scenario: a learner can test html, .js etc. on his local environment.

1- what tool can be used?
2- if I just install a wamp server locally and then create and test html+css+.js can I see the results locally in my browser immediately?

(I'm using cloud9 free. it's a perfect tool. but don't let free users use multiple active projects. when I'm using html project can't link it to js. vice versa.)

edit: using windows.

Code viewable here: https://codepen.io/gchis66/pen/mwqRON

It should be noted that while it does technically work when launched via cloud9, i have to click "load unsafe scripts" in the url bar for it to function. Any help would be appreciated so that I can move on to the next project.

This release is packed with updates, including the latest Cloud9 IDE and has major improvements around the terminal inside the IDE.

Like probably many people on this subreddit I'm a software engineer by trade. Since my laptop is quite bulky and is mostly used for red team work I'd like a way to keep development to my more portable iPad. I've heard about cloud9 from AWS, which is nice and all, but I'd rather keep it on my home server so I can do it all myself and keep it basically free.

Any suggestions?

I've been toying with it recently and it's pretty great. It seems like it's come a long way on the last year, with vastly improved PHP intelligence and even xdebug out of the box.

The main downsides I've seen so far compared to PHPStorm are:

• The autocomplete isn't as intelligent as PHPStorm (it's not bad though) and sometimes the pop-up doesn't appear at all, hopefully due to a temporary bug
• You can't clone someone else's workspace. You can only clone your own. It would be awesome if project ramp up consisted of cloning the tech lead's workspace and you're ready to code.
• The "jump to function definition" feature seems to just hang for me right now, and it also can't hint what the parameters for a function look like. Those 2 things combined are terrible. Again, hopefully a temporary bug.

Other than that it's great. Anyone else trying it out or have thoughts?

I think that would be handy.

I've been working on resize.c in pset4 for sometime and discovered today that the IDE is not displaying all of the pixels of some of the images I open.

I deleted the pset 4 directory and downloaded again to start with fresh files and found that smiley.bmp only displays 7px x 7px instead of 8px x 8px.

When I download the same file and open it on my computer it displays correctly.

However, small.bmp and large.bmp display correctly in the cloud9 ide.

When resizing small.bmp to test my resize.c program I found the following errors:

6px x 6px only displays 5px x 5px 9px x 9px only displays 8px x 8px 18px x 18px only displays 17px x 17px

3px x 3px only displays correctly 12px x 12px only displays correctly 15px x 15px only displays correctly

I have reported it as a bug on cloud9 and await feedback, but wondered if anyone else had been struggling with the same issue, or, more hopefully, that I'm missing something glaringly obvious!

This is preventing me from moving forward, any help would be uch appreciated.

Many thanks,

Fraser

The question says it all. I'm a freelancer who has just got a project having existing workspace in Cloud9 IDE, and the client wants it to stay that way. I've never used this IDE before, but the web interface seems quite intuitive. I would like to know what are the various pros and cons of using this IDE?

Hi guys,

There's quite a lot of noise around the Cloud9 IDE for Salesforce at the moment.

I decided to give it a try and write up a quick review. Check it out:
http://chrisaldridge.com/ide/cloud9-ide-for-salesforce-review/

I've searched both on google and here, and noone else seems to have this problem...

I wrote a file "hello.c" and tried to save with ctrl-s. Then I tried running "make hello", but it only told me "no rule to make hello", so the file was actually never saved.

Ok, I guess the ctrl-s shortcut doesn't work, I'll just go to file-sav.. huh... there is no save button there either

Tried searching the "commands" tab to the side... no luck.

Ok... well, I'm somewhat proficient with vim, so I "vim hello.c", type out the program again, try :w and get "file written" back, try "make hello" again, and it works!

To sum up (TL;DR):

The editor has no save command, it doesn't seem to exist.

However, I can edit and save files using Vim. And I can compile and run those files as well. The problem being that vim in the C9 terminal is veery slow and laggy, which is not ideal.

So I'm wondering if anyone has a clue as to where my save button has gone and hid itself?

SOLVED!

/u/yeahiprogram suggested restarting the browser, which added back all the options again (ctrl-s also works fine)
