Unable to run Meshery locally

Meshery
1

I used make-server to build server but its building it on localhost:9081 and returning with error code 404. I think some precise documentation for starting local server and setting up development-environment is needed.

having a similar issue, mesheryctl services are running on docker desktop but the UI server on localhost is not serving anything

Hello @anujagrawal. Can you please mention the steps that you took?
This will help people provide better and quick solutions.

I cloned the repo and installed the necessary dependencies and tried to use make server-local and it returned

fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
cd server; cd cmd; go clean; go mod tidy; \
BUILD="" \
PROVIDER_BASE_URLS="http://localhost:9876" \
PORT=9081 \
DEBUG=true \
ADAPTER_URLS="localhost:10000 localhost:10001 localhost:10012 localhost:10013" \
APP_PATH="./apps.json" \
KEYS_PATH="../../server/permissions/keys.csv" \
go run main.go error.go
^Cmake: *** [Makefile:81: server-local] Interrupt

So i did some internet serving and used this script

BUILD="" PROVIDER_BASE_URLS="http://localhost:9876" PORT=9081 DEBUG=true ADAPTER_URLS="localhost:10000 localhost:10001 localhost:10012 localhost:10013" APP_PATH="./apps.json" KEYS_PATH="../../server/permissions/keys.csv" go run main.go error.go
So the server is running up on 9081 but the page is returning with 404 and i think the server is trying to reach provider and adapters but they are unavailable. The UI or anything else is not visible on localhost.

From your messages It seems to me you have not built meshery ui and provider ui yet.
Can you confirm if you have followed the steps mentioned here?

7

Yes i haven’t built the UI separately. I was looking to contribute to cypress and playwright e2e testing.

8

Regarding building Meshery Server, when you execute git describe --tags does it respond with fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.?

Are you working with a shallow clone (git clone --depth=1)? If so, try doing a full clone (git clone) and trying make server again.

9

Okay Thanks. Can i contribute a detailed docs on these subjects?

10

Yes, you can, @anujagrawal.

11

@Lee The files such ui/cypress/e2e/e2e/service_mesh_configuration_management_spec.js and integration/configuration_filters_spec.js and commented out. Are they commented out because they are made using Cypress? If yes, can i migrate it to Playwright?

12

I think someone already works with these issues
[CI]: add e2e test for navbar section by senthil-athiban · Pull Request #11406 · meshery/meshery (github.com)

From my understanding, Playwrights testing now has some manual processes to be done.

  1. The easy way to set up the server is by using MesheryCLI
mesheryctl system start
  1. Setup the environment variable
  2. Run the playwright test

@Jerens_Lensun what about migrating provider-ui/cypress tests to playwright?

@Jerens_Lensun The docker is running on port 3000. The mesheryctl system is started.
Env variables are set up in terminal and ~/.bashrc. Still running it gives

anuj_agrawal@Anuj:~/meshery-lfx/meshery/ui$ PW_TEST_CONNECT_WS_ENDPOINT=ws://localhost:3000/ npx playwright test
