    i'm confused, where are you taking these logs? from the console? these logs seems incomplete, i don't see in the logs any reference to the error that you were describing.

    for reference, here are the full logs when a jsreport server starts normally without errors:

  • Hi,
    I am sorry about the confusion.
    From the console: it just stucks at 2018-01-23T21:45:31.108Z - info: Extensions location cache /tmp/jsreport/core/locations.json contains older information, crawling

    the repeated ones until ... , crawling I got from the log file /logs/reporter1.log. This log file is > 6MB so I wonder if I can send it to you by email?

    0
  • administrators

    hmm 6mb of logs probably won't help me because there will be a lot of information in there. can you copy the current reporter1.log somewhere (maybe i will ask you to send me that file later) just to save that information and then just clear all the content inside that file to have clear logs?

    also, can you try to delete the /tmp/jsreport/core/locations.json file? and then try to start server again.

  • It is weird. I have deleted /tmp/jsreport/core/locations.json for serveral times but still can not start.

    when starting the server, in which part the error happens? are you waiting until the error happen? or are you just killing the process when getting stuck at info: Extensions location cache not found, crawling directories log?

    0

  • Just because it seems stuck at ..crawling without any further progress for some minutes so I killed the process. Now I let one console going on. What is the maximum crawling time? My PC is fast CPU and using SSD.

    0
  • administrators

    ok, i just needed some confirmation that you were killing the process..

    according to logs it seems that your app is located at /home/user/ or /home/trung/, those seems os level home directories so by nature those directories can contain a lot of files and since jsreport do some crawling to find installed extensions doing that search at a home directory is super intensitive. can you please move your project to /home/user/myjsreportproject and try again? doing that will make the crawling of directories a lot more faster because jsreport won't look at the root level of /home/user

    0

  • Do you mean to remove jsreport from the root dir level then install it again to a sub folder /home/user/myjsreportproject ?
    Do I need to move the /data folder into /home/user/myjsreportproject then re-install the server there?

    Do you mean to remove jsreport from the root dir level then install it again to a sub folder /home/user/myjsreportproject ?

    yes

    Do I need to move the /data folder into /home/user/myjsreportproject then re-install the server there?

    yes, move all your files at /data (because there is where there are all of your templates, etc), and re-install in the new place

  • Now, installed in the new folder then I still got error:

    As with previous resolution when I got error: error: Failed to load collection settings Error: More than 10% of the data file is corrupt, .I backed up /data/settings file then delete it then the server can start.

    yes, i was about to recommend you to do that.

    However, I got another error when try to Run the report within localhost:5488
    Error occured - Error during rendering report: Unsupported module in scripts: http. To enable require on particular module, you need to update the configuration as {"scripts": { "allowedModules": ["http"] } } ... Alternatively you can also set "*" to allowedModules to enable everything

    yes, as the error says, you need to update your configuration file to have something like this:

    {
// ...other config..
"tasks": {
//...other config..
allowedModules: '*'
//...other config..
}
...other config
}

    sorry the right config is this:

    {
// ...other config..
"scripts": {
//...other config..
"allowedModules": "*"
//...other config..
}
//...other config
}

    just ignore the ...other config comments, i just place them to represent that you can place other config there too.
