The polymer tutorial app renders a blank page

Asked By: Anonymous

So.. I was trying out the polymer tutorial and here’s what I followed :-

1) Downloaded the Starter Project

2) ran python -m SimpleHTTPServer after changing directory to starter

Now when I go to localhost:8000 in my browser, a grey page opens up. I tried inspect element and found this error

http://localhost:8000/components/platform/platform.js 404 (File not found)

Here is a screenshot with the error.

Addition Info:

OS : Windows 8.1 Enterprise 32bit

Python: 2.7

Chrome: 35.0.1916.153 m

You need to run python -m SimpleHTTPServer from the top level of the entire project… that would be the ~/polymer-tutorial-master directory. Then go to http://localhost:8000/starter to see the starter project. Likewise to see what everything should look like after Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3 you can navigate to http://localhost:8000/step-1, etc.
