Error: Failed to save card: PeerAdmin@hlfv1

[DazWilkin]

In full disclosure, I've not used Composer previously and was hoping that, by following through these scripts, it would work without issue. It doesn't.

I'm having issues getting the Peers to join the Channel (https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/ibm-container-service/issues/97) so it's entirely possible that this subsequent step won't work until that issue is addressed. However, it doesn't appear immediately dependent.

The composer-card-import Pod|container fails with Error: Failed to save card: PeerAdmin@hlfv1

So getting on to the container and running the script step-by-step:

Not having the peer joined to the channel wouldn't cause the card to fail to import. I don't think it would cause that error, but can you try with -u admin in the card create? Also, what version of composer are you using?

[vmorris]

I'm also not seeing what version of Fabric you're using. If it's v1.1.0, you're connection profile's got to be a bit more substantial: https://hyperledger.github.io/composer/latest/reference/connectionprofile

[DazWilkin]

Thanks!

I'm using the Helm Chart from this repo and it uses:

toolsImage: ibmblockchain/fabric-tools:1.0.0
ordererImage: ibmblockchain/fabric-orderer:1.0.0
caImage: ibmblockchain/fabric-ca:1.0.0
peerImage: ibmblockchain/fabric-peer:1.0.0

and it includes:

composer --version
v0.16.2

The Deployment is created from this file which is simpler than the one you reference. I'll try create something more complete: https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/ibm-container-service/blob/master/cs-offerings/kube-configs/composer-card-import.yaml

[DazWilkin]

IIUC, I tried using -u admin:

$ composer card create -u admin -p connection.json

$ composer card import -f admin@hlfv1.card

Hmm, you wouldn't want to try the more complicated profile for a fabric 1.0.0 network, but you could get a newer version of composer (stay on the 0.16.x level). Last I checked, it was 0.16.6.

[DazWilkin]

Solved!

I mixed up volume mounts between:

Helm Chart's blockchain-utils yaml's mountPath: /home/composer/

and

composer-card-import script's mountPath: /home/composer/.composer
