Runtime errors on building and launching Browser app

I am trying to run the Actual app locally as suggested here, but the initial page takes forever to load with few errors in the Console. Few other users also reported the same issue on Discord, hence posting it here. Any suggestions to get past this issue is greatly appreciated!

browser-server.js:31 Refused to execute script from 'http://localhost:3001/kcab/kcab.worker.dev.js' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable. (anonymous) @ browser-server.js:31 browser-server.js:31 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'importScripts' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': The script at 'http://localhost:3001/kcab/kcab.worker.dev.js' failed to load. at http://localhost:3001/static/js/bundle.worker.js:8169:7

My development environment is Debian 10 and using Node v16.15.0

I was having the same issue and after some tracing back I found some additional errors, referring to an issue in build-browser with [ is not defined

What fixed it for me was editing build-browser in /packages/loot-core/bin/build-browser

It seems the == comparison isn’t a globally accepted comparator in shell scripts. See info here

By replacing the == with a single = I was able to run without that issue.

E.g Line 10 if [ $NODE_ENV == 'development' ]; then became if [ $NODE_ENV = 'development' ]; then

@sb18281 Thank you very much. That fixed the issue. Closing this now.
