Fatal error in hyperledger-fabric tutorial; potential incompatibility problems

Question

I was following through this page to create a simple application on hyperledger fabric, using the sample scripts provided.

Network is successfully built, but when it comes to the part of querying the ledger, query.js is not able to fetch and use the dependency fabric-client.

I estimated that it may be a discrepancy between the node version I have installed (8.1.2) and the node version required by this package, but without the latest node version other parts of this script would also fail. Below is the error log from running the script:

#
# Fatal error in ../deps/v8/src/api.cc, line 1200
# Check failed: !value_obj->IsJSReceiver() || value_obj->IsTemplateInfo().

When rolling back to node v7.10.0, a different error emerges:

module.js:598
  return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));
                 ^

Would anyone know the problem?

Answer 1

I have tested it work successfully.

Please check the Prerequisites .

Confirm node version ( version 6.9.x or greater version 7.x is not supported at this time. ).
