Issues with local setup trying to seed the DB

Contributors

I’m trying to get everything set up locally and followed the instructions exactly. I just installed MongoDB using Homebrew (following the Mongo doc instructions). I opened a new terminal and ran mongod, and in the other terminal, tried running npm run seed. It’s failing. This is the output I get:

Have you ran npm ci yet?

Also, are you doing the Docker Build installation or the Local Build installation?

3

Yes, I did! I’ve followed the directions in order. Everything was fine through running mongod in another terminal, but once I ran npm run seed in the original terminal, I got the error above and have not been able to move forward.

I am doing the local build, not Docker.

4

When you ran the npm ci, did it create a node-modules directory in the local repo and are you running npm run seed from root directory of the local repo or from some other directory?

Can you take a screenshot of the folder containing the repo where it would show all of the files?

5

Yes, and I am running, or trying to run npm run seed from the project’s root directory. Here is a screenshot of the folder:

Can you take a look in api-server/node_modules/ and see if a) anything’s there and b) mongodb is there? It sounds like the api server’s packages are not getting installed. Something that npm ci should have taken care of.

If that package isn’t there, please run npm run bootstrap from the root dir and paste in the output. It should be something like this:

7

This does seem to be the problem. The folder doesn’t exist.

ls api-server/node_modules/
ls: api-server/node_modules/: No such file or directory

When I run npm run bootstrap from the projects root dir, it fails. I get the following output:

From within the root of the repo directoy can you run npm ci again and post the results. I want to see if you are getting any errors showing during install.

Just ran it again and no errors:

npm ci
npm WARN prepare removing existing node_modules/ before installation

> fsevents@1.2.4 install /Users/MYUSERNAME/Desktop/fcc-a11y/freeCodeCamp/node_modules/fsevents

Then I tried running mongod in another terminal and npm run seed again and still got all of the same errors as before.

Have you pulled down the latest version of master? It looks like an old commit. I recommend pulling down master and then running:

npm ci
npm run clean
npm ci
npm run seed
npm run develop

npm ci needs to be run first to install things that npm run clean needs.

Thank you! That fixed the original issue. Now I am able to seed the db, but now when I run npm run develop, all goes well until this error:

success run static queries - 0.218 s — 1/1 5.15 queries/second
success run page queries - 9.851 s — 1523/1523 155.00 queries/second

 ERROR

There was an error compiling the html.js component for the development server.

The latest error makes me think your .env is not using the latest version of sample.env. Can you post your .sample.env contents here?

13

Yea, I just got that error - there’s a recent addition to the sample.env file - Adding ALGOLIA_API_KEY=123abc to it should fix it.
