Troubleshooting issues on local development

A list of common issues that developers face and how to resolve them.

Error: Module did not self-register.

This could happen if node modules were compiled with a different version of node, or if node modules fail to compile due to other configuration errors. Running tests locally requires node to specifically be the latest version of NodeJS 14. You can use nvm to manually set the node version.

Node Versioning Error

Run the following commands to set the node version and then re-install the node modules:

nvm use 14
rm -r node_modules
npm install

JavaScript out of memory error

On your Docker application, go to Preferences > Resources and increase the amount of memory allocated for Docker.

MongoDB: not primary and secondaryOk=false

If you cannot login to the app and see an MongoError: not primary and secondaryOk=false error in the console, then your Mongo container is configured incorrectly.

This is most likely due to the replicaSet being misconfigured with the wrong IP address of the MongoDB container.

This should only happen if your MongoDB volume was created before #4603.

To fix this issue, either delete and re-create the MongoDB volume, or follow these steps:

  1. Login to the docker container using docker exec -it <mongodb-container-id> /bin/sh
  2. Start the mongodb shell with mongosh.
  3. Run the following commands within mongosh to force set the IP address within the replica set:
conf = rs.config()
conf.members[0].host = 'database:27017'
rs.reconfig(conf, {force:true})

TypeError: Cannot read property 'tap' of undefined

If you are using a machine with an M1 chip, you may be facing this issue due to your node installation, as an inappropriate version of node would cause more updated versions of webpack to be installed and thus introduces breaking changes in the code.

To overcome this, use Rosetta to install node in -x86_64 architecture as described in the "Macs with M1 chip" section here.

Be sure to check that the correct node is installed with:

$ node -p process.arch
x64

npm not found

Make sure nvm is loaded to the environment in ~/.bash_profile. To do so, the ~/.bash_profile should include the following lines:

export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

Ensure that on startup, brew is added to the environment variables and ~/.bash_profile is run. To do so, ~/.zshrc should have the following lines:

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
source ~/.bash_profile
