[SDK] Error while creating a project

Hi miikka

We released a new version of sdk that should fix this issue. Can you please retry?

npm ls -g lithium-sdk --depth=0
/usr/local/lib
└── lithium-sdk@1.0.2 

I was just able to successfully create a project without being on vpn.

Hi MeghaM,

I just updated to 1.0.2 on Mac:

npm ls -g lithium-sdk --depth=0
/usr/local/lib
└── lithium-sdk@1.0.2

But I still seem to be getting the same error when creating a project against the responsive dev site:

[12:22:15] got an error when trying to make the call:

I assume that the 'null' above means no connection to the server could be established and that the response is empty?

And just add to this, I upgraded to 1.0.2 on Windows 10 as well and still see the same error there.

Hi MeghaM and DougS,

I tried again this morning without changing anything in the local setup and was positively surprised to see the project creation now working both on Windows and on Mac. And I was also able to export the studio plugin from the responsive dev site. So maybe somebody changed something somewhere but looks like this issue is now resolved.

Thanks for your help! :)

Cheers,

Thanks for confirming miikka. We had to correct some config entries on the server side to allow the SDK endpoints to work on stage. Thanks for your patience.

miikka

it could be the reason you were entering  http:// in url rather than https:// . I had the same error. Upgraded to lithium SDK 1.0.2, even after the upgrade I faced the same issue. After some tries I came to know I was using http:// where the command prompt asked me to enter the dev/stage url. So I changed to https:// and was able to create plugin successfully

Hi TariqHussain,

I actually tried both initially but then understood it needs to be https. So for us the issue was ultimately fixed by the backend config change.

The script should give a meaningful error message if somebody puts in an URL with just http, that's maybe something to be included in the coming versions of the SDK. As that's a very simple mistake to make there, especially if copy-pasteing the URL from your browser where you might be using http.

Resurrecting this old topic as I'm now upgraded to SDK v. 1.2.1 on Windows 10 and am getting a new error when creating a project:

Has anybody seen something similar and if yes, what was the workaround?

DougS, this might be something interesting for you :smileyhappy:

Hi Miikka,

Can you paste in the full output of the running the command (including the command itself)?

Thanks,

-Doug
