Chapter 8 Section 2 Guided Exercise Issue

Jump to solution

The execise start script creates and tries to start 2 pods, but the hello-server one does not start.  It gets an error.  Looking at the pod logs, I see the below error.

Hi @Alec1 

We just pushed a new classroom for this course.
The root cause of the problem was NPM not being able to write in the cache folder.
So we did a workaround in the Container files we use for the exercise apps

We tested the new classroom in production and everything is working as expected.

Thank you very much for your feedback, and sorry for any inconvenience!

Hi,

The problem is a bug in NPM & the cache folder.
The same problem appeared in DO288. We found a solution for DO288, and we are trying to apply a similar fix for this app of DO188.

We will keep you posted.

 

Thank you!

Hi, it looks like I am still having this error:

I get "Your cache folder contains root-owned files, due to a bug in  previous versions of npm"

Hello-server will not start

Hi @Adolph,

Have you tried in a fresh classroom by recreating the whole lab environment? We just tested again the exercise in a new lab environment, and it works as expected.
