TypeError: Cannot set property 'clientRootFolder' of undefined

[mmarimuthu]

I created a microservice in jhipster create Application. Created a jdl and attached the same to it. When running the jhipster import-jdl it raninto issue. Checked the https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-core/issues/252 but couldn't resolve it.

Attaching the yorc and jh file for reference jh.txt yo_rc.txt

Error:

Could not get an example with jdl for micoservice in official website.

JDL:

    cacheProvider no
    devDatabaseType postgresql
    prodDatabaseType postgresql
    skipClient true
    // more configuration options goes here
  }
  // filter entities here
  entities User, Driver, CarDetails
}

relationship OneToOne {

microservice all with driverService

service all with serviceImpl 

clientRootFolder all with driverService

It will be fixed in JHipster v6.9.0

[mmarimuthu]

@MathieuAA what is the temporary solution

[MathieuAA]

As a workaround, you can use clientRootFolder Driver, CarDetails explicitely. Or completely omit the option! this is automatically setup if you have the microservice option

[mmarimuthu]

@MathieuAA thanks I will check and get back

[mmarimuthu]

@MathieuAA Still the error persists. Could you help.

[MathieuAA]

Alright, I need the modified JDL. Have you removed the redundant JDL app?

[MathieuAA]

Keeping the microserviceName option is good though

[mmarimuthu]

@MathieuAA as per your comments i removed the existing jdl app and tried. It worked. Thanks for the the help..!!

[MathieuAA]

Glad I could help, thanks for reporting the issue. If you need explanations on why this works, I'd be happy to detail everything.

[mmarimuthu]

@MathieuAA yes, Please provide a link if there is one. Also, my suggestion is that it will be helpful for the developers when we have a detailed 'Hello world' app steps. May be in https://www.jhipster.tech/ And description about the JDL file supported properties.

[MathieuAA]

I should improve the docs on that part... Your example could have been improved because:

• there was a yo-rc.json file as well as an app definition in the JDL (I suggest splitting the two like app.jdl and entities.jdl), that can help you avoid some weird issues
• declaring the JDL app and having the microserviceName was redundant because you included the entities in your microservice app
• the clientRootFolder is automatically set if you have the microserviceName option or if you have a microservice app declared

Here, the issue was about something fairly stupid on my part, and thanks to you it's fixed (and released BTW).
