Unable to find modules required to enroll admin in Fabcar example - Hyperledger fabric

Question

I am pretty new to Hyperledger fabric and StackOverflow as well. I was trying to experiment with the fabcar example - https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.4/write_first_app.html on Hyperledger. However, I am unable to proceed with enrolling the Admin.

After issuing

npm install
node enrollAdmin.js

in the fabcar/javascript directory, I am hitting the error

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:985
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module './utils.js'

    '/b/workspace/fabric-samples/fabcar/javascript/enrollAdmin.js'
  ]
}

I'm not sure if this is some single sourcing problem between the fabric client and the fabric-ca-client. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling nodejs and npm. I have also tried pruning all the docker images, networks, volumes and start from scratch.

Here's the package.json for reference:

    "name": "fabcar",
    "version": "1.0.0",

    }
}

Can someone please help me find out what I might be missing here?

Answer 1

There are some issues with the new "fabric-ca-client" package.Some minor updates changed the dependencies. So, The working version is: "fabric-ca-client": "1.4.0"

I removed the tilde(~) to download the exact version.Rest of the dependencies and their versions are same.

Answer 2

I had also faced this issue. And now I'm following this process to resolve.

step:1 Check a fabric local version.I'm using 1.4.6.

command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperledger/fabric/master/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash -s -- 1.4.6 1.4.6 0.4.18

step:2

cd fabric-samples/first-networks

step:3 To check this version is working or not.

./byfn.sh generate

step:4

 ./byfn.sh up

step:5 Now down the network.

 ./byfn.sh down

After checking all the above process you can start fabcar project.

I successfully import my admin and user1 identity.

Hope it will help you:)
