[CAP] BAS – port 4004 is already in use by another server process

 , , , , ,

If the default port 4004 is already open and you want to see what is bound to it, select View -> Find Command -> Ports Preview

Solution to kill another “watch.js” process using/blocking the port: https://answers.sap.com/questions/13016130/sap-business-application-studio-stop-running-serve.html
To archive the same in a single command use:

lwctl -c basic-tools kill -9 $(lwctl -c basic-tools ps aux | grep watch.js | awk '{print $2}')

As alternative, change the default port by adding a new port in package.json to the start script, for example: “start”: “cds run –port 4003” and use npm run start instead of cds watch.

Update 20.02.2023: Just had the problem again due to a VPN disconnect. But this time I had an application running using cds run. Therefore, I had to change the command from watch.js to cds.js:

lwctl -c basic-tools kill -9 $(lwctl -c basic-tools ps aux | grep cds.js | awk '{print $2}')

Update 10.05.2023: A better approach seems to be killing the node process. This should work in both situation.

lwctl -c basic-tools kill -9 $(lwctl -c basic-tools ps aux | grep node | awk '{print $2}')

Update 29.02.2024: With the BAS migration to Code – OSS the previous commands were not working anymore, but this new command seems to work:

kill -9 $(ps aux | grep cds.js | awk '{print $2}')
# or
kill -9 $(ps aux | grep cds-dk | awk '{print $2}')

[CAP] Query teamMembersSize from SuccessFactors

 , , , , , , 
const sfsfSrv = await cds.connect.to('sfsf')

// Option 1: Query Notation
const response = await sfsfSrv.run(SELECT`teamMembersSize`.from`User`.where`userId = ${req.user.id}`)
console.log("option 1: " + response[0].teamMembersSize)

// Option 2: HTTP method-style
const response2 =  await sfsfSrv.get(`/User('${req.user.id}')/teamMembersSize/$value`)
console.log("option 2: " + response2)

[CAP] Easy way to test if your approuter is working

 , , , ,

An easy way to test your approuter is using the user-api-service. For that add the following route to your xs-app.json

    {
        "source": "^/user-api(.*)",
        "target": "$1",
        "service": "sap-approuter-userapi"
    }

And after deployment, open the application router URL and add /user-api/currentUser to it. You should see your Email and other User details. This is testing that the application router is actually getting the security token from the UAA instance.

Terminal

[Git] Error on Windows using VSCode Dev Container

 , , ,

After connecting to a local dev container using Visual Studio Code and trying to clone a private project from Github I got the following error: 

Cloning into 'myProject'...
warning: url has no scheme: helperselector
fatal: credential url cannot be parsed: helperselector

The only way I could remove this error was deleting the helperselector settings. So open the git config with:

git config --edit --global

and remove the the helperselector block (the first two lines). You will now get asked again for your credentials when cloning a project.

Nextcloud

[Nextcloud] Docker update 21.0.7 to 21.0.8

 , , , , , , , , ,

And again… a Nextcloud upgrade failed. After a docker-compose pull and docker-compose up -d the maintenance mode won’t turn off. So I tried to turn it off manually, but I still couldn’t finish the update via WebGUI. I also couldn’t find any errors via the log.

docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php /var/www/html/occ maintenance:mode --off

So I triggered the upgrade again from the terminal and finally got an exception.

$ docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app_1 php /var/www/html/occ upgrade

Quick search on google and it seems that the image for 21.0.8 is broken and already withdrawn. Here and here. Great if users can still pull it from the docker repo…

I disabled the user_ldap addon via command line. This site helped me finding the right commands. After another occ upgrade and a few minutes, the instance finally came back online.

docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php /var/www/html/occ app:list
docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php /var/www/html/occ app:disable user_ldap
docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php /var/www/html/occ maintenance:mode --off
docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-app php /var/www/html/occ upgrade

In the end I also stumbled across the official nextcloud blog, where they announce 20.0.9 and that they had problems with 20.0.8…. But if the new docker image is not yet provided, and you can’t downgrade from your broken 20.0.8 back to 20.0.7, this doesn’t help you at all.
