Can't build LPWAN Server

bob_ontari · September 15, 2019, 12:56am

I followed Install doc and made Lora Server installed and run successfully. But I got an error when I tried to build LPWAN server using

$ docker-compose -f development/docker-compose.yml up --build

Error: Cannot find module ‘…/generated/prisma-client’ as below. Any help is highly appreciated.

There is a script to manage the development database, which needs to be started before the LPWAN Server starts. Look at the script “development/bin/manage-db”. First boot the DB with “./development/bin/manage-db start”. Next, deploy the models to the DB with “./development/bin/mange-db deploy”. The deployment step generates the the DB client, which will resolve the missing module error.

There’s more info about running the development environment here:

The docs aren’t explicit that the deploy step needs to happen before starting LPWAN Server. I’ll make an issue to update the docs.

bob_ontari · September 17, 2019, 1:24am

Thanks, I successfully executed “./development/bin/mange-db deploy” without errors. After run “$ docker-compose -f development/docker-compose.yml up --build” , the error "Cannot find module ‘…/generated/prisma-client’ has gone. But I got the following errors:

rhythnic · September 17, 2019, 1:56pm

I just fixed it in the master branch, so if you pull the repo it should be resolved. The fix was to add an empty public_dir environment variable to the development docker-compose file. I thought that was already there, but it wasn’t. This let’s the server know not to serve the UI, which is missing until it’s built. Generally in development you would run the webpack development server to serve the UI, but if you want to develop the back-end with a static UI, you could run the build-ui script (bin/build-ui), and then remove the “public_dir” env variable from development/docker-compose.yaml. That would require pulling the web-client repo and placing it next to the lpwanserver folder.

If you haven’t yet, generate development certificates by running “./development/bin/generate-development-certificates”. If the certs are there, there should be no more errors when you start server for development.

bob_ontari · September 18, 2019, 12:13am

not sure what else you also changed. After pull the repo, I got the first problem again:Cannot find module ‘…/generated/prisma-client’. I am very sure I run “./development/bin/mange-db deploy” without error.

bob_ontari · September 18, 2019, 12:23am

can’t find /usr/src/app/… maybe "/usr/src " problem?

rhythnic · September 18, 2019, 2:00pm

The DB deploy command will generate the DB client assuming that it’s an initial deployment or there was a change to the models. The issue is that the generated DB client folder was removed, but the docker volume for the DB persisted, so the deploy command didn’t generate the client.

You have 2 options.

Remove the docker volume for the DB so that the deploy command will generate the client.

./development/bin/manage-db stop
npm run clean
./development/bin/manage-db start
./development/bin/manage-db deploy

There’s a separate command to generate the DB client, if the DB is running and the models have already been deployed.

export primsa_url="http://localhost:4466/lpwanserver/dev"
npm run prisma -- generate

Sorry for the complexity. I introduced Prisma because I thought it would reduce development complexity, but it has had the opposite effect.

bob_ontari · September 19, 2019, 12:51am

Above errors were removed after applying option 2, but got below additional errors:

I’m guessing that docker-compose picked up the environment variable exported in option 2 above. Try running in a new terminal tab. That URL is set by the prisma_url value in “development/config.json”. It should use “prisma” as the host name to match the docker service. If running in a new tab doesn’t work, then the DB client was generated with a hard-coded URL. In any case, try running these steps in a new tab and see if that works.

# only if you don't have any local volumes that you want to keep
docker system prune --force --volumes
./development/manage-db start
./development/manage-db deploy
# optionally start LoRa Server
docker-compose -f development/loraserver/docker-compose.yml up -d
# start lpwan server
docker-compose -f development/docker-compose up --build

I should note that in addition to deploying the models and generating the DB client, the deploy command is also seeding the DB with required data. There’s a separate command for that as well, which is the reset command in the manage-db script.

bob_ontari · September 20, 2019, 1:34am

After executed as your recommended above, the results are below.

Some notes:
127.0.0.1:4466 is set in prisma/prisma.yml, is it correct?

endpoint: ‘http://127.0.0.1:4466’
datamodel: ./versions/v1/datamodel.prisma

bob_ontari · September 20, 2019, 1:40am

Is “endpoint” correct?

or
endpoint: ‘http://prisma:4466’

rhythnic · September 20, 2019, 1:35pm

The correct endpoint is http://prisma:4466/lpwanserver/dev.

prisma/prisma.yml should read:
endpoint: ${env:prisma_url}

This causes causes the generated DB client to attempt to connect to process.env.prisma_url. You can check if the client was generated correctly by viewing app/generated/prisma-client/index.js. Towards the bottom of the file, you should see process.env.prisma_url. The development/docker-compose file sets the config file to development/config.json. In that file, the prisma_url is set to http://prisma:4466/lpwanserver/dev. All config variables can be overwritten with environment variables, but in case prisma_url comes from a config file and not an environment variable, the module app/config/index.js writes the value of config.prisma_url to process.env.prisma_url so that it can be used by the DB client.

rhythnic · September 23, 2019, 2:06pm

Great! Glad to hear the development build is working. Importing the ca cert into the browser is correct. The server runs at 3200, but unless the web-client is built before starting the server, the root URL will return a 404. You can test the REST api at /api, or you can build the web client before starting the server. In this case, make sure to remove the public_api=’’ environment variable that we set earlier, so that the app will serve the UI. You can also run the development server for the web client, which runs at 3000 and hits the API running at 3200.

bob_ontari · September 23, 2019, 10:20pm

I used build web-client in my site with “git clone https://github.com/cablelabs/lpwanserver-web-client.git” and run “/bin/build-ui” before build sever. In this way, my web-client works with https://x.x.x.x:3200. But Rest api doesn’t with “/api”. get error:“Cannot GET /api”.

rhythnic · September 24, 2019, 1:46pm

All the REST endpoints begin with /api, but there is not currently an /api endpoint that returns info about the api.
