Tutorials versus installations issues

[adriatic]

When using the the KendoPro installation type in the context of the Developers tutorials articles, I am not able get the app running. I expect that all of my issues I will encounter are in that context which is characterized by not having kendo-sdk installed by npm, but rather manual extraction from Telerik's "standard" distribution as zipped files.

So, I added the repository verifying-docs to be able to "point to" relevant places where I got lost.

Case 1 - skeleton-esnext-kendopro

Running the esnext-kendo, fails in several ways and I am not sure which are caused by my incorrect extrapolations, and which are caused by other issues.

After builing this app (npm install && jspm install && gulp watch) I get two errors in Chrome console:

GET http://localhost:9000/dist/kendo-sdk/styles/kendo.common.min.css
GET http://localhost:9000/dist/kendo-sdk/styles/kendo.bootstrap.min.css 

which are likely caused by this. I am not sure whether these two lines should be there (why? if YES and why? if NOT)

Then, if I select the Autocomplete menubar item:

system.src.js:1041 GET http://localhost:9000/kendo-sdk/js/kendo.autocomplete.min.js 404 (Not Found)
aurelia-logging-console.js:54 ERROR [app-router] Error: (SystemJS) XHR error (404 Not Found) loading http://localhost:9000/kendo-sdk/js/kendo.autocomplete.min.js
	Error: XHR error (404 Not Found) loading http://localhost:9000/kendo-sdk/js/kendo.autocomplete.min.js
	Error loading http://localhost:9000/kendo-sdk/js/kendo.autocomplete.min.js as "kendo-ui/js/kendo.autocomplete.min" from http://localhost:9000/dist/autocomplete.js

This (unlike the situation where the Kendo SDK is installed with bower) means that the loader cannot find the kendo.autocomplete.min.js module in the obviously present [kendo.all.min.js](https://github.com/aurelia-ui-toolkits/verifying-docs/blob/master/skeleton-esnext-kendopro/kendo-sdk/js/kendo.all.min.js)

Question What am I missing to fail to understand why does this work when Kendo Core is used?

Final comment

Once I made the change suggested in ☝️ August 20, 2017 3:00 PM, the app still did not work - I had to do all these changes in addition (they seem very logical now 😏) in order to get the app in the proper shape.
