Getting a 404 Error After Setting Up Meshery for the First Time? Here Is How I Solved It

I just followed the steps to set up Meshery from the docs properly, but still, on running the build commands, I was getting errors. Specifically, I was following these docs: https://docs.meshery.io/project/contributing/contributing-ui.

Everything was fine when running the command: make ui-setup

On running command: make ui-build, I was getting the following in the terminal:

Skipping linting

Disabled SWC as replacement for Babel because of custom Babel configuration *.babelrc" https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/swc-disabled
Using external babel configuration from /home/moin/Documents/Github/meshery/provider-ui/.babelrc
Creating an optimized production build ...Bus error (core dumped)

And when running the command: make ui-server, my server used to run in terminal like below:

On localhost port 9081, I used to get a 404 (Not Found) error:

Solution:

After getting help from the community and some investigation, I discovered that the issue was simple: the node_modules of ui and ui-provider (consider them as two separate folders with separate node module files) were corrupted. So, I just deleted them and reinstalled them. I’m using ubuntu so I used the following commands :

cd ui
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
cd ..

cd provider-ui
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
cd ..

And after running the commands below step by step, my issue was resolved:

make ui-setup
make ui-build
make ui-server

I hope this might help you. Happy debugging! :technologist:
