"Error: connect ENOENT /run/nfd.sock" on macOS #3

Closed tanim-ics closed 3 years ago

I have installed NDNts, Node.js v14.17.4, and npm v6.14.4. I have installed nightly builds. I created a producer and trying to run it. NFD is also running. But it is throwing the following error:


NDNts % NDNTS_NFDREG=1 node ./producer.mjs
(node:46681) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: connect ENOENT /run/nfd.sock
    at PipeConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1148:16)
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
(node:46681) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag `--unhandled-rejections=strict` (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 1)
(node:46681) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

From the error message, it's probably a path mismatch. Default Unix socket path in NDNts is /run/nfd.sock but NFD on macOS listens on /var/run/nfd.sock. You can try setting this environment variable: NDNTS_UPLINK=unix:///var/run/nfd.sock

Note that NDNts does not officially support Node.js on macOS. You can run Debian or Ubuntu in Parallels Desktop, and then run NDNts inside.

Thank you. Both the Producer and the consumer worked after adding the environment variable.
