Help with Mission Control

[Iciir]

I've tried for the first time to play with the MC and I see so much amazing potential.

However, I think something is wrong.

So, here's what I got:

Inside MC:

No messages received:

But yes?

And in the console I see this:

Something seems a bit unintended.

Thanks for testing this, I really need some feedback on MC.

Some context: Mission Control can handle multiple chatbots (multiple chatbotID) with the same control panel, that's the reason is asking to select one. It's tries to fetch the list of available chatbots from GraphQL, unfortunately is not bootstrapping for some reason.

Do you have a particular configuration? (i.e., running node-red on a different port, or different root directory, are projects enabled, etc.) Which version of node-red? Can you also post the console.log of the browser? Do you have any browser plugin that could block web socket connections (i.e., if you have uBlock can you try disabling it)?

For sure, it should handle better the error on GraphQL.

I am running 3 instances of Node-RED through Docker for different purposes.

Ports: 1880 1884 1887

But the one I'm trying MC on is the 1880 one which is the default so it should be fine.

The relevant Console Log things I can find, inside the Node-RED Dashboard:

JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.3.0
Node-RED: 3.0.2
Versions
»  jQuery 3.5.1
»  jQuery UI 1.12.1
»  ACE 1.4.12
»  D3 3.0.3

No relevant errors:

Now let's see in the MC Dashboard:

A thing I'm noticing here is that it says "production" but I'm running all my bots in development.

Another interesting thing is that I tried to configured settings.js with this:

I wrote the paths similar to those which work perfectly:

But I just realize now that they're not the same kind of paths, anyway, it completely ignores those MC settings:

BTW the Network error: request to http://0.0.0.0:1880/graphql failed error does not appear anymore since I made those settings.js configurations so it probably doesn't completely ignore them.

Also maybe relevant my docker-compose.yml:

Ok, I believe it's the https certificates. I don't use it, I use a different approach (basically nginx proxy manager, see here https://www.notion.so/redbot/Deploying-RedBot-with-Nginx-844c4fe1497845f198db27d82ecb97a5?pvs=4). I'll try to replicate the problem locally and find a better way to authenticate the web socket. Also, I don't use anymore the parameters in settings.js but only env variables (it's possible some of those are not valid anymore), I'll improve the docs in this section

[guidone]

The web socket failing is the Apollo one, it's for the GraphQL subscriptions which are not used yet. I'm upgrading to the latest version of Apollo and removing it, should fix the problem

Hi @guidone I also am not able to figure how to use the simulator of MC. Running on a local docker with port mapping 1880. On the flow I can define multiple receiver configuration with id and MC enabled. On the Simulator input widget I do see the dropdown with the correct ids. Howerver on the MC dashboard I do not have the dropdown and the graphql query only returns the default bot.

If I do not create receiver configuration, the chat widget did show up but was unable to send with error cannot find chatbot with id "". Also once an id exist, it is no longer possible to select "" in the Simulator In node.

What am I missing? What are the correct steps to setup the simulator? Can the simulator be used without receiver / with the universal receiver? Thanks!
