.sparkrc

[auch188]

Hi

Sorry to open an issue, but I am stuck with the part where you create the .sparkrc file. I'm trying to get D7 to blink in my spark core with the spark-io plugin.

I flashed my spark core with the voodooSpark firmware. Then I created the .sparkrc file with my spark core token and device id and get the following error;

Error: Unable to connect to spark cloud.: code: 400 { "code": 400, "error": "invalid_grant", "error_description": "The access token provided is invalid." } at IncomingMessage. (/home/phil/Documents/Spark/Hello World/node_modules/spark-io/lib/spark.js:243:19) at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:117:20) at _stream_readable.js:929:16 at process._tickCallback (node.js:419:13)

also console.log(process.env.SPARK_TOKEN) gives an output of undefined.

Please help

Did you source the .sparkrc file?

source .sparkrc

That actually loads the variables into your environment so they can be accessed inside of Node.js via process.env

If you put that into your shell's dotfile, note that it will be loaded automatically for you the next time you open a new terminal window.

Certainly let us know if you still have problems and we can help you along. Or if you just want to move past it and "get it working" you can always copy the access tokens directly into the Spark-io constructor in your code in place of the two process.env references.

@rwaldron next time one of us updates the README, we should probably clarify this a bit more in the Getting Started section: https://github.com/rwaldron/spark-io#getting-started

Do you source the .sparkrc file in a seperate file? If so what do you name it as?

I tried to put "source .sparkrc" in my HelloWorld.js code but it produced a compile error.

I finally got it working. I misunderstood and thought I needed to put the "source .sparkrc" command into a file. I put the command in the terminal to commit the .sparkrc file I created and now it is working.

Thanks.

But you should keep that line in your .bashrc (or similar)

@auch188 glad you got it working. As Rick said, if you put the source ~/.sparkrc (being sure it points to the correct location) in your .bashrc (or whatever shell you're using), then it will be loaded automatically for you in the future.

Thanks for the info. Will do
