Debug Node.js app on Bluemix
I'm trying to use Bluemix Live Debug following this doc: https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/manageapps/bluemixlive.html#bluemixlivedebugger
This is my manifest.yml:
---
env:
ENABLE_BLUEMIX_DEV_MODE: "true"
This is my package.json:
{
"name": "myApp",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "Insert description here",
"dependencies": {
"url": "*",
"ibmbluemix": "*",
"ibmdata": "*"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js"
}
}
I can access the app like this:
http://<miApp>.mybluemix.net/
Then, according to the doc I should access the debugger using this url:
http://<miApp>.mybluemix.net/bluemix-debug/manage
But I'm getting this error:
404 Not Found: Requested route ('<miApp>.mybluemix.net') does not exist.
Am I missing something?
If you are getting "Requested route does not exist" error that means you can't even access the application under http://.mybluemix.net/. That usually means that there was a staging or some other error during deployment. Check your logs - run cf logs miApp --recent.
But if I remove /bluemix-debug/manage from the URL, I can access the app without problems.
I'm trying to determine why /bluemix-debug/manage could return "Requested route ('miApp.mybluemix.net') does not exist" while the main URL for your app is up and running. Bluemix generates that error message when miApp.mybluemix.net is unmapped or points to a stopped/crashed app. But since you managed to load the root URL of your app, then the route is clearly mapped and the app is running (at least some of the time).
A few troubleshooting suggestions:
Does the Bluemix Dashboard show any crashes for your app? Maybe you tried to access
/bluemix-debug/managewhile the app was down. If you see any "out of memory" messages, increase the memory limit in yourmanifest.yml, redeploy, and try again.From the Dashboard, check if the route
miApp.mybluemix.netis bound to 2 different applications, or if your app is running with > 1 instances. When this happens, requests will get routed to different apps or instances, giving inconsistent results. Make sure thatmiApp.mybluemix.netis only used by a single app having 1 instance.The app might not be in dev mode. From the Dashboard, check its environment variables. Is
ENABLE_BLUEMIX_DEV_MODEcorrectly set totrue?If your
manifest.ymlcontains acommand, remove it and try redeploying.
HI , I had encountered a similar error ...When I checked the variable value on the dashboard it was shown as : ENABLE_BLUEMIX_DEV_MODE: "true" I removed it and added a new env variable as : ENABLE_BLUEMIX_DEV_MODE: true
And this worked ...
