If you use mock, how you are able to run a local network with it? It’s not only to simulate but there is no connection. So how your firefox addon are able to retrieve the content you send to the dns_example?

@smacz thanks for the update. I haven’t been able to spend any time in this lately, and won’t until at least next week unfortunately. I’ll update here when I do.
So I’d have to run vault while using mock? Or would I have to use actual routing for the libsafe_ffi.so module and run a vault…
The actual routing with some vaults with the actual routing too. Everything with the actual routing. No mock at all.
I suggest your to try again with libsafe_ffi.a if your freezing issue persist.

Well, now I’m back to square one with using the actual routing: safe_dns_example doesn’t work.
When I run it from the distributed binary and I input the dns name, choose the templace and hit “Publish”, it freezes at
“Creating directory safe_uploader_template115924-25705-1ei7e1p”, source: /data/Represent/Decentralize/ArchitectureOfTheNet/MaidSafe/Notes/safe_dns_example-linux-x64/resources/app.asar/src/scripts/uploader.js (38)
[EDIT2:] There is no activity that is registered in either of my vault instances. (In example above and below)
When I run it from the compiled version (the one that complained about the grunt file as above - see the intro to [this] video for my lack of enthousiasm to track down the problem - I get:
/data/Represent/Decentralize/ArchitectureOfTheNet/MaidSafe/github/safe_examples/dns_example/dist/safe_dns_example-linux-x64/resources/app.asar/node_modules/ref/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:83

So either way it doesn’t work. I’m thinking about saying screw it, build a python cli script to upload a simple static example html file. Then I don’t have to mess around with javascript shudder.
EDIT3: It gets better.
For the above I was used the vaults that I just compiled. When I used the vault binaries that were compiled by MaidSafe back in August, the upload worked! So…that’s good.
But now once I even install the addon to Firefox, it freezes on every restart. Like, I can’t do anything with it. And no error messages to speak of.
EDIT4: OMG it gets even better.
When using the addon that was compiled with mock, Firefox was able to work normally after installing it until I tried to access my dns with the safe: prefix. Then it froze. Restarting it reset it and it worked for any clearnet address right up until I tried to access my dns example with the safe: prefix then it froze again. Still no errors in the terminal to speak of.
DAE feel that my participation in this thread is equivalent to a really bad game of chutes and ladders? \s

Looks like we’re wasting our time without some input from MaidSafe on how they built the add-on and dns_example. 
But I do agree. Having some build environment specs would go a long way in resolving this.
