TypeError: adminConnection.createProfile is not a function

[simonmullaney]

Hey Zach - thanks for the videos - they are brilliant!

I'm just getting this error when I'm trying to test the directory. I think the createProfile function was removed from the composer-admin module. Do you have any workaround for this?

Thanks again!

Glad you like them! May I ask at what command you are getting this error? I know they have released a new version since this tutorial so if you could copy/paste the error log that might help.

[simonmullaney]

Yeah I'm just after checking my adminconnection.js file and it doesn't have a createProfile function anymore.

I'm just using npm test in my project folder. I get the following error in my terminal:

"before all" hook:
TypeError: adminConnection.createProfile is not a function
at Context.

I checked composer-logs to see if there were any logs in there but there wasn't.

[zachgoll]

Which version of Composer are you running? In the latest version it doesn't look like this method is available.

[simonmullaney]

Yes, the createProfile function isn't there...

I'm using the latest version - v0.15.2

The core devs have been making all sorts of changes with this new Identity Card syntax, and by the looks of the new sample network (https://github.com/hyperledger/composer-sample-networks/blob/master/packages/perishable-network/test/perishable.js), they are relying on MemoryCardStore class from Common API for testing.

I will try and get back to this repo and update, but for now, I think you might download the new sample network and work from there.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. This industry is moving at 100mph!!

I will say that most of the Composer documentation is pretty good, and if you follow my 5 part video series (even if you have to revert back to v0.15.0 to do so), you should have a framework of understanding that applies to the new versions. Working through new syntax is definitely the challenge at this point.

[simonmullaney]

No worries Zach - I know the way!

I'll have a further look into it, and maybe take up the issue with the Hyperledger dev's to see if they know how to solve it...

Thanks again!

[simonmullaney]

Yeah for sure - ill post the fix here when I figure it :)

[simonmullaney]

Hey Zach - the fix was in that file you attached -> https://github.com/hyperledger/composer-sample-networks/blob/master/packages/perishable-network/test/perishable.js

You just have to connect as they do in it :)

[zachgoll]

Awesome, glad you got it figured out! Feel free to submit a PR or the lines of code you changed for future users of this repo :)
