I’ve been following: Build a Jira app using a framework to get a jump of point to start development of my own Jira Cloud app but I’ve run into a error that I haven’t been able to fix:

url.js:150
    throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE('url', 'string', url);
    ^

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Hi Jeffrey Peeters,

It looks like you are missing a property on the config.json inside the store adapter object. Assuming you are using PostgreSQL, add a new property called url pointing to the database.

Something like the sample:

"store": {
            "adapter": "sequelize",
            "dialect": "postgres",
            "url": "postgres://localhost/my_addon_database"
},

Probably the last version of the adapter sequelize isn’t ready to receive such an input without url or the atlas-connect sample has an error on the config.json :grinning:

Kind regards,
Paulo Alves.

I was having this same issue as well. I took @paulo.alves advice and added a URL parameter to the config.json (development section) and it got me past that error…on to the next one :slight_smile:

"store": {
            "adapter": "sequelize",
            "dialect": "mssql",
            "url": "mssql://localhost/database_name"
        }

These sequelize docs helped out: http://docs.sequelizejs.com/manual/tutorial/migrations.html#configuration-connection-string

Good! Were you able to run the app after that change?

Paulo Alves.

Yep - I received one more error after the url change complaining about not having the tedious package installed. Once I installed that I was able to run the default app that atlas-connect new provides

7

I’m getting this error with the sqlite3 dialect and the database property… seems obvious it would complain since there’s no url here… but how do I fix this without changing the database type?
PS: this was done following the scaffold code… why have code that doesn’t work in there? :roll_eyes:

Hi Ioana - Im getting the same issue. Did you ever get it resolved?

Hello,
I have the same issue. it seem missing package.
I solved with “npm install -S sqlite3”
Hope to help you.
