Can I play around with a safe network testnet?

Another CLI crash

the crash report is for the brainy devs to opine on but Im going to take a wild stab and suggest that my attempts at formatting the output of safe files put is causing some indigestion

This based purely on the fact it only seems to happen when I try to mess with the normal output of safe files put and the Panic occurred in prettytable-rs-0.8.0 which sounds like a formatting/display library to me

I wont promise to eat socks but I am prepared to be wrong

eli5 how to use a differnet version of node? huelp!

2. also made a pull request! I added DEST_DIR folder creation with timestamp

[Southside]

Thanks for that PR

for node version management you could try try GitHub - nvm-sh/nvm: Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

[SmoothOperatorGR]

another pull request, a minor change, instead of making lots of folders in tmp, now all folders are inside the main folder

[SmoothOperatorGR]

thanks but I still dont know how to use this to get safe node 0.41.2

[JPL]

Download the zip file and extract the contents (sn_node) into the ~/.safe/node folder (you’ll need to create the folder first).

Looks like a new version (0.42.3) has just been released.

https://github.com/maidsafe/sn_node/releases/tag/v0.42.3

[SmoothOperatorGR]

with sn_node into .safe/node I get this error when:

running safe auth start

safe auth start
Error: Failed to start authd

Caused by:
AuthdError: Failed when invoking sn_authd executable from ‘/home/sm00thie/.safe/authd/sn_authd’

[JPL]

You need to do safe node run-baby-fleming first

[Southside]

Im still getting messaging errors with the latest node v0.42.3

Last useable version for me was 0.41.2

see issue raised at https://github.com/maidsafe/sn_node/issues/1500

[Southside]

Sorry Chris - MAJOR confusion on my part

node is a JS framework, much beloved of @happybeing and other brainy folks
sn_node is the SAFE component which is rather confusingly also known as “node” in the SAFE community.

To roll back to sn_node v0.42.1 I did this:–
Install everything as normal

1. safe node killall
2. pkill -e sn_authd
3. pkill -e safe
4. rm -rf ~/.safe
5. curl -so- https://sn-api.s3.amazonaws.com/install.sh | bash
6. safe node install
7. safe auth install
8. check versions

willie@gagarin:~$ safe -V
sn_cli 0.25.3
willie@gagarin:~$ safe node bin-version
sn_node 0.42.3
willie@gagarin:~$ safe auth bin-version
sn_authd 0.7.3

THEN download https://github.com/maidsafe/sn_node/releases/download/v0.41.2/sn_node-0.41.2-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.zip and unzip it somewhere else - NOT in ~/.safe

go to ~/.safe/node and mv sn_node sn_node0.42.3
Go to where you unzipped the old 0.42.1 and mv sn_node ~/.safe/node/

Let me know how you get on.

[Southside]

Thank you I will have a look at this.
I have changed the working directory from /tmp to /home/$USER/tmp to preserve data between reboots. Eventually I hope to extend the script to collect data from all the timestamped run data subdirs, collate it and send it to somewhere TBD

…MAJOR confusion on my part

sn_node is the SAFE component which is rather confusingly also known as “node” in the SAFE community.

I said this would happen [smug English face].

[Southside]

I’m sorry but that is not half condescending enough… Please try harder

[happybeing]

Would using a poor imitation of a Scottish accent wind you up sufficiently… jimmy?

[Southside]

Only if it is really poor.
Dunno whats going on today at all at all but I am uncommonly serene.

I have this vague feeling of guilt about short-changing my adoring public.

[happybeing]

@Southside

Only if it is really poor.

My specialty.

[Southside]

I have heard worse.
As long as you are saying “can I buy you a pint, Willie and would you like a nice malt to go with it?” you can use any accent you like.

I wish I’d known better than go and learn English in Dixie. Now Ireland or Scotland - that would have been something! Sadly, I’ve never even visited.
