Description
The helloworld sample expects the domain cadence-samples but CONTRIBUTING.md instructs registering samples-domain so following the guide as-is fails.
It is just tiny document update, so I want to update a document of this problem by modifying domain registration line from ./cadence --do samples-domain domain register to ./cadence --do cadence-samples domain register (and if it's okay, update the execution logs too).
Steps to Reproduce / How to Trigger
- Follow the CONTRIBUTING.md guide to setup the dev environment
- Register domain like this
- Clone the sample repo, and follow the instructions.
- If you run
./bin/helloworld -m worker &, error message occurs like this. As you can see, hello world application requires cadence-samples domain.
