TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE] in appchain-truffle-box

English CKB Development & Technical Discussion

It seems it is the first English topic in the forum…

I followed the README file of the Appchain truffle box repo. And when I try to run

npm run migrate

I got the following TypeError:

> [email protected] migrate /home/ubuntu/cita-truffle-box
> appchain-migrate migrate

And my truffle.js is:

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    network_name: {
      host: '121.196.200.225', // eg. '121.196.200.225'
      port: '1337', // eg. 1337
      network_id: '*', // Use '*' to match any network id
      privateKey: '0x5f0258a4778057a8a7d97809bd209055b2fbafa654ce7d31ec7191066b9225e6', // a string, required
    }, // you can add other network after here
  },
}

I have no idea what the path means?

change ‘network_name’ to ‘development’

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: '121.196.200.225', // eg. '121.196.200.225'
      port: '1337', // eg. 1337
      network_id: '*', // Use '*' to match any network id
      privateKey: '0x5f0258a4778057a8a7d97809bd209055b2fbafa654ce7d31ec7191066b9225e6', // a string, required
    }, // you can add other network after here
  },
}

I changed it to ‘development’. But the same error still emerged. I checked the npm log:

It seems the command appchain-migrate was not executed correctly.

May be there is something wrong with npm, use yarn to replace it.

yarn
yarn migrate

Yes, yarn works. And now I am trying to find out what happens to my npm…
