Error when running template after moving codebase to new server



  • Hi i am receiving the following error when I run a report on my server

    TypeError: input.on is not a function
        at new Interface (readline.js:206:11)
        at Object.createInterface (readline.js:74:10)
        at Promise (/var/www/html/jsreportapp/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/Launcher.js:327:25)
        at new Promise (<anonymous>)
        at waitForWSEndpoint (/var/www/html/jsreportapp/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/Launcher.js:326:10)
        at Launcher.launch (/var/www/html/jsreportapp/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/Launcher.js:170:41)
    

    I recently moved the code from one server to another and now I cant seem to run any reports.

    These are the steps I took to transfer the files to the new server

    • Copied jsreportapp dir to new server
    • Im using apache virtual hosts so I setup a new virtual host
    • I then installed pm2 onto my server
    • I then ran the following command npm install jsreport-cli -g to install jsreport
    • I then used this command pm2 start server.js to run the server

    Is there anything I may have missed which needs to be ran in order to get the server working?



  • I also get the following error sometime The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.



  • When I view my chrome debug network tab I keep seeing the following requests every few seconds https://jsreport.intelli-sense.co.uk/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=NGgvLdW&sid=wSoCkXCAA157kWOVAAAA and the response is

    Service Unavailable

  • Did you copy between the same os/version/architecture?

    This error is related to server-side chrome launch. Searching the internet I see here mentioned this can have something to do with not enough resources to launch chrome. Does your VM have enough resources?



  • Yes the servers are both hosted by AWS and they are using a t2.medium so the resource should be the exact same. I find it odd that sometimes the erros I receive are different which has made it hard for me to resolve.



  • I stopped my pm2 service and tried starting the node server jsreport start and after it tries to load I then get the same error in my console which means I cant start jsreport either

  • Maybe try to remove node_modules and run npm install again. Maybe something went wrong with the copy of the chrome binary...

    Also please check you have the same node.js version on both.



  • Thanks that has got be a bit further Im not receiving constant errors anymore, I only receive this error when I try and run a report
