User Interface API > Install the Sample App - Record Viewer won't launch

Hello all,

I followed the directions in the Trailhead module and clicked https://localhost:8443. I received the below error.

This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I have internet connection, there is no proxy, and I turned off the firewall. I saw documentation that suggested checking for missing "listen:443". I found it in the nginx.conf file. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was able to launch Record Viewer using Docker's default IP address instead of localhost.

I am stuck here too, specifically at this part: Use a CLI to build the Record Viewer app and start the server.

I went on a massive tangent and installed the salesforce CLI component and now I am so confused about what to do with: 
cd /path/to/RecordViewer
docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d

Please let me know if you got past this part! Together we will figure this out :)

Nathan and Rita,

How coincident.. I am stuck at the same place.
They shouldn't give these kind of Trailhead module which involve installing different software.. Sometimes our laptops configurations can give trouble.

Now i am wondering whom to approach..

I was having the same issue, and I changed "localhost" to my machine's IP address, and then I was able to get the page to launch. It then told me I needed to reset my OAUTH settings for my IP address rather than localhost.

Sorry, using my IP address gave the same error as before.

Update: resolved my earlier problem. Now stuck on the build portion:
docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d

The error is: client version 1.21 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.24, please upgrade your client to a newer version.

Nathan,
Please see issue #4106 https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/4106#issuecomment-356443809
Nathan Schneider 9Nathan Schneider 9
Thank you for your reply! How did you change your docker compose file to version 2.1? I assume that's what is wrong based on the forum link you sent. The docker-compose.yml file for the Record Viewer App looks like this and doesn't specify version:

web:
  build: .
  command: 'bash -c ''node app.js'''
  working_dir: /usr/src/app
  environment:
    PORT: 8050
    NGINX_PORT: 8443
  volumes:
    - './views:/app/user/views:ro'
nginx:
  build: nginx
  ports:
    - '8080:80'
    - '8443:443'
  links:
    - web:web
  volumes_from:

I had to install docker toolbox because I did not have a machine running windows 10
Emilien Guichard 40Emilien Guichard 40
Hello,

I'm using Docker Toolbox also because I am working an a 9 years old macbook pro.
I managed to connect to the recordviewer app by changing localghost in the url by the docker ip
to get it I did the following commands in the terminal
 
docker-machine ls
to get the machine name and
docker-machine ip default
to get the machine ip

now I am on this screen :
User-added image
I also changed the callback URL on the Connected App changing localhost by this IP.

Hope it will help.

New issue now, in the Create New Record picklist I don't have any value :

User-added image
Any idea ?
Thanks.

Yall- this module is greatly flawed. I encourage everyone reading this to give up and move on with other trailheads. I spent so many hours over the course of 2 weeks trying to debug this. Sure, I learned a lot but wow you'd think Salesforce could write some better instructions.
Jenna HuttJenna Hutt
The other thing that helped me with this challenge was running the command:
docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d
from within docker and not from a command prompt
Brett WagnerBrett Wagner
@Emilien Guichard 40 did you add the new https://192.168.99.100:8443 to the CORS settings? I had the same issue and this is what solved it.

This assignment annoyed me to no end and wasted my whole evening. Here's how to get around it: Create all the steps in SF with CORS and the connected resource etc. Don't bother installing Git, Docker or cloning the repo. Then go into the developer console, open an execute anonymous window then create the account with:

Account acct = new Account(Name='ABC Computing',Rating='Warm');
​insert acct;

then come back and check challenge. It won't know that you created the account with code vs. the RecordViewer app. This challenge was poorly written and should be amended with better instructions. Hope this help, Rob

Hey Guys,

I'm on this step:

Use a CLI to build the Record Viewer app and start the server.
cd /path/to/RecordViewer docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d

Any idea with this error on cmd ?

Building web
Step 1/7 : FROM node:8.9.3
ERROR: Service 'web' failed to build: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/node/manifests/8.9.3: unauthorized: incorrect username or password

I followed this link that says use 8.8.8.8 on preferred DNS but still not working, same error. 
https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/22635

Please help, i'm stuck :( TIA

This is so true. I manually created an Account with name "ABC Computing" and Rating "Warm". I filled all mandatory fields and saved. I just clicked on "Check Challenge" and scored 500 points. This problem statement can be made better for sure.
Riccardo CastellanoRiccardo Castellano
i have the same problem when i do docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d 
i solve my trouble with this :
- i clone recordViewer in a directory that i created
- i read the readme.md tha is in the recordViewer directory that is created when i clone the project
- in the readme i read that i must go on a website : www.docker.com
- on this website create an account and download docker for mac (or windows , i use mac) 
-once you have download the proggram install it and run it
- on the home page you must enter the login credential you have created on www.docker.com
-now you can use the terminal of mac and go to the recordViewer directory and run docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d 
-after this, more download proccess starting 
-when the download an installing proccess end you can finally go to https://localhost:8443 on a browser and see the result

I solved this challenge!!! i hope this works for you guys too! simply follow these steps:


Salesforce does not check for third part apps to complete the challenge so DO NOT  bother dowloading git or dock or CLI or anything...


In your Trailhead Playground, from Setup, enter App and select App Manager.
Click New Connected App and enter these settings:
Connected App Name: RecordViewer
Contact Email: Your email address
Select: Enable OAuth Settings and enter these settings:
Callback URL: https://localhost:8443/oauth-redirect
Selected OAuth Scopes: Access and manage your data (api)
Click Save.
On the New Connected App page, click Continue.

----------------


From Setup, enter CORS and select CORS.
Click New.
For Origin URL Pattern, enter https://localhost:8443
Click Save.


------------------- 
and finally to finish the challenge:

Go to Accounts and click New
Account name: ABC Computing
Rating: Warm
Save.

I had the same issues with this module. It kept redirecting me to local host 3001 and I was unable to "continue to site" when I got the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED message. I followed the answer by Gabriel Patrick Salas

Hello, i setup the correct environment in my Ubuntu dist.
I had to try some workarounds with the Docker installation. After that i runned this commands separately with succes:
$ sudo docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up -d

OS: 18.04.1-Ubuntu x86_64 GNU/Linux

I use "https://192.168.99.100:8443" instead "https://localhost:8443". "https://192.168.99.100" is default docker ip on my pc. You can find your docker default ip by command "docker-machine ip default"

A mi me funciono esta solucion. Gracias

Hi All,

I also battled with this module. 

1. Docker is NOT compatible with Windows 10 Home. Rather use Docker Toolbox if you are on Windows 10 Home.

2. Make sure you add your RecordViewer folder to the Shared Folders using VirtualBox / Settings.

3. The compile command works fine as long as your DEFAULT box is running ("docker-machine start" at command prompt).

4. Instead of using LOCALHOST:8443, replace all references with the IP Number of the DEFAULT virtual box. You can check the IP with command "docker-machine ls".

For me, it was https://192.168.92.100:8443/

Use this URL when setting up the connected app in the APP MANAGER and in the CORS setup.

Lastly, if you are connecting to a PLAYGROUND, enter the URL of your playground when authorising, and NOT the generic login.salesforce.com as shown in the screenshot.

Hope that all helps.
