We’re hosting an RSM specific discussion in the Modularity Hackalong tomorrow. Details here:

Access seems to be closed.

Thanks! Can you try again @ldwm?

ldwm · September 16, 2020, 3:49pm

Thanks, it works now!

Hi Guys,

Just been following your instructions below, but I got a permission denied error message (below), any ideas?

“dellams@DESKTOP-CEETMKE:~$ git clone git@github.com:holochain/holochain.git
Cloning into ‘holochain’…
The authenticity of host ‘github.com (140.82.121.4)’ can’t be established.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? y
Please type ‘yes’, ‘no’ or the fingerprint: yes
Warning: Permanently added ‘github.com,140.82.121.4’ (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.”

Also, I installed Nix as per the instructions in the link below, but when I run “nix-shell” I get this error message:

“dellams@DESKTOP-CEETMKE:~$ nix-shell
error: getting status of ‘/home/dellams/default.nix’: No such file or directory”

I am using WSL2 on Windows 10, which worked fine for the previous hc with holocain.love. I presume that still points to the redux version? When will it be updated to the new version do you think?

Keep up the great work, really impressed with the new version and keen to upgrade HoloNET .NET/Unity client & .NET HDK to it along with my other hc code… thanks

Cheers
D.

@dellams I’m not sure why you would get that git/ssh error, but I’d recommend just try cloning from the https version of the URL…
git clone https://github.com/holochain/holochain.git

Then, with nix, you have to run nix-shell INSIDE the holochain directory. So first
cd holochain

then

nix-shell

then

hc-install

HI There -

Will RSM version still be an ERC-20 protocol or will it be a newer protocol?

dellams · November 6, 2020, 4:00pm

Great thanks, I now get this error:

"dellams@DESKTOP-CEETMKE:~/holochain$ nix-shell
unpacking ‘https://github.com/holochain/holonix/tarball/v0.0.83’…
error: Package ‘ngrok-2.3.29’ in /nix/store/h8yv9z8l0fqfbas6wdwy7lzagnpwqg3v-source/pkgs/tools/networking/ngrok-2/default.nix:43 has an unfree license (‘unfree’), refusing to evaluate.

a) For nixos-rebuild you can set
{ nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.

b) For nix-env, nix-build, nix-shell or any other Nix command you can add
{ allowUnfree = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix."

But I cannot see any configuration.nix, where is this file? I am surprised it doesn’t just work? Thanks.

Connoropolous · November 6, 2020, 6:32pm

@dellams it’s the b) option that you want, not a).
config.nix.

Why won’t the tests succeed?

hc-merge-test says:

…

failures:
conductor::compat::tests::test_build_conductor_from_legacy_regression
core::workflow::sys_validation_workflow::tests::sys_validation_workflow_test

test result: FAILED. 185 passed; 2 failed; 21 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

error: test failed, to rerun pass ‘-p holochain --lib’

Neither did the elemental-chat tests succeed! (Possibly due to the above)

Has all this got anything to do with the tryorama update going on???

Side question: Is the Holochain RSM’s develop branch to be trusted or the main branch? When might we have a (pre)release branch??? ‘develop’ rather sounds like it’s under development and possibly doesn’t compile!

EDIT: https://github.com/holochain/holochain/issues/469, just in case.

dellams · November 17, 2020, 6:32pm

Ok thanks, its installing now…

dellams · November 20, 2020, 1:11pm

What version is RSM currently at? I got it all installed but when I checked the version it came back with hc 0.0.51-alpha1? That looks like Redux version? Bit confused because I downloaded the RSM one as instructed… I will try it again just in case… hmmmm… odd.

dellams · November 20, 2020, 4:00pm

Also, when I run the hc-merge-test as the instructions state, I get this error:

[nix-shell:~/holochain]$ hc-merge-test

                         entry

Any ideas? Thanks

The-A-Man · November 21, 2020, 8:06am

See https://github.com/holochain/holochain/issues/469#issuecomment-725986664.

Anyways, any idea how to init/create a fresh new RSM happ??? Is it hc-happ-create??? Or hc init??? And yeah, as @dellams pointed out, “hc --version” does return 0.0.51-alpha! Kinda strange… And “holochain” command doesn’t have an init!

dellams · November 21, 2020, 3:36pm

Why I don’t feel safe continuing with RSM until it is ready to be used… clearly it is not… unless someone can convince me it is fine to use now? What version is RSM? None of this makes sense… need clarity please… thanks.

Connoropolous · November 23, 2020, 8:33pm

@dellams if you were following my last set of pointers, but forgot hc-install then you’d still see the old holochain version.

hc-install inside the holochain/holochain nix-shell will overwrite the old version of holochain that is still currently in holonix, but is likely to be removed really soon.

dellams · November 23, 2020, 8:51pm

I have run hc-install already and version number is still wrong?

Any ideas?

What should the new zomes look like?

If you have stable rust installed locally, you could also run two commands very similar to these ones, found in this little ‘install script’ that is in use for a CI setup.

github.com

holochain/holochain-conductor-api/blob/develop/install-holochain.sh

#!/bin/bash

REV=2dfe85db10a5d9ba3ee25ff33f4bedb1a28f875f

cargo install --force holochain \
  --git https://github.com/holochain/holochain.git \
  --rev $REV
cargo install --force dna_util \
  --git https://github.com/holochain/holochain.git \
  --rev $REV

cargo install --force holochain --git https://github.com/holochain/holochain.git
cargo install --force dna_util --git https://github.com/holochain/holochain.git

Here’s a sample of zome code

github.com

Sprillow/cmdchatter/blob/master/dna/cmdchat/src/lib.rs

use hdk3::prelude::*;

pub const AGENTS_PATH: &str = "agents";
pub const MESSAGES_PATH: &str = "messages";

#[hdk_extern]
fn init(_: ()) -> ExternResult<InitCallbackResult> {
    let messages_path = Path::from(MESSAGES_PATH);

    agents_path.ensure()?;
    let agents_path_address = agents_path.hash()?;
    let agent = agent_info()?.agent_initial_pubkey;
    create_entry(&Agent(agent.clone()))?;
    let agent_entry_hash = hash_entry(&Agent(agent.clone()))?;
    create_link(agents_path_address, agent_entry_hash, ())?;
