gRPC - Build Errors

hammers · November 30, 2022, 10:08am

Hi,

I am trying to build the JSON RPC, but I don’t know how to get past the build errors.

I have never built a jsNode project before, any guidance would be appreciated.

Code Base:
GitHub - Concordium/concordium-json-rpc

Hello and thank you for contacting Concordium Tech Support

We will get back to you ASAP.

Hello

Have you tried to look at this one, and follow the build instructions?

hammers · December 1, 2022, 11:28am

Hi Zoltan,
Yes I did try that, I get stuck on this line

yarn build

Hi there.

To me, it looks like you missed the line inbetween the two commands you describe in the original post. The sequence is:

git submodule update --init - fetches git dependencies
yarn generate - generates types used for grpc
yarn build - builds the project

The commands must be executed in the listed order, otherwise it will fail. The first 2 commands are only required to run once. On subsequent builds you would only need to run yarn build.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Søren.

Hi Soerenbz,

Apollogies for that, I was paying around with my batch file, and must have moved them. The generate command is throwing the below error;

Hi again.

I noticed you install grpc-tools manually. Could you instead try running

yarn install (installs project dependencies, including grpc-tools)
yarn generate
yarn build

I realise the first step in the sequence above is missing from the readme. I’ll make sure it’s added. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Søren.

hammers · December 2, 2022, 1:52pm

Hi Soerenbz,

We Just refreshed my code base as I was getting issues regarding sub folders already existing.

Anyway, re-ran the sequence you gave me, and yarn generate is throwing the below error.

Hi.

It seems you’re having issues with dependencies, both

the grpc-tools library, which should be installed by the yarn install command, and
the files used for generating the grpc interface (.proto files), which should be installed by the git submodules update --init command.

Can you try the following:

Delete the directory: C:\Chain-SDKs\Concordium
Clone the concordium-json-rpc repository again
cd into the directory created from clone
Run commands git submodule update --init, yarn install, yarn generate, and yarn build sequentially.

Looking forward to hearing if this helps, otherwise please don’t hesitate to write again.

hammers · December 3, 2022, 2:21pm

Hi Soerenbz,

I deleted the folder on my pc, created a new one called “concordium-json-rpc”, and cloned the code base from this URL;

The “yarn generate” command is still throwing the error below. Thanks for looking into this.

That’s a weird error: 1% is not a valid Win32 application. I have no experience personally with building and running the project on windows. Can try to build it on a windows machine when I get the time.

Best regards,
Søren.

Hi Soerenbz,
Have you had a chance to look at this on a windows machine?
