Not able to pass Meteor.settings json file - node.js

On my local workstation, I can easily load my settings by passing --settings which works perfectly fine. For my dev/production server, I following the documentation AND a few postings here which have me create a file.json file with what i want to pass. I have a script which passes the export commands properly and then fails to pass my meteor settings.
METEOR_SETTINGS=$(cat /var/www/html/dev/dev.json)
Am I missing something? Any guidance would be most appreciated.

figured out the answer to this
when you run a script, you need to export METEOR_SETTINGS just like you would export the mongo url and port 3000.
Simple but overlooked based on replies from other posts.

I assume you bundled your application for production?
For me the following did the trick
export METEOR_SETTINGS="`cat settings.json`"

getting 401 response codes on a deployed React App that worked fine in development?

I am trying to complete a Redux project and got everything to work fine in development on my own machine but when deployed, the browser is failing to recognise my hidden environment variables so not passing client keys to Api calls and thus making unauthorised requests. I have a '.env' file with the keys in them and then refer thus...
const API_URL = https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?appid=${process.env.REACT_APP_OPEN_WEATHER_MAP_API_KEY}&units=metric;
I have looked up the problem on here and think I understand what's going wrong but don't know how to put it right. I am deploying site via Netlify from my Github repo and my build settings appear to be correct. I thought 'npm run build' took care of all that for me?
99% finished a project and now scratching my head furiously...
Try defining variables in .env file starting with REACT_APP like:
REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID=4
REACT_APP_API_URL=/api
Try using it anywhere like:
const apiUrl: process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL;
Set the environment variables specifically within the Netlify UI. So 'Deploy Settings > Environment > Environment Variables' then variable -'REACT_APP....' value - '*****' for each variable you want defined.

Setting up environment variables in node, specifically, GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS

I have a node application and I'm trying to use the google language api. I want to set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the json file in the same directory (sibling to package.json and app.js).
I had tried process.env.GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS = "./key.json"; in my app.js file (using express), but it isn't working. I have also tried putting "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS":"./key.json" in my package.json and that didn't work as well. It DOES work when I run in the terminal export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="./key".
Here is the error message:
ERROR: Error: Unexpected error while acquiring application default credentials: Could not load the default credentials. Browse to https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials for more information.
Any tips are appreciated, thanks!
After reading and reading about this issue on the internet, the only way to resolve this issue for me was to declare the environment variable for the node execution:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="./key.json" node index.js
Because I was able to print the token from my server console, but when I was running the node application, the library was unable to retrieve the system environment value, but setting the variable for the execution, it was able to retrieve the value.
It could be that the environment variable in your OS was not accurately set. For example in Linux you usually have to set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS in the terminal where you executed your app.
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="[PATH]"
Another option you have is passing the json path by code. It is documented this process using Node.js with the Cloud Storage.
Just to update this thread.
Relative paths with GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS now works fine with dotenv :)
Just store your service-account credentials as a file in your project and reference it relative to your env-file as a path. Then it should work fine :)
I encountered the same issue. I was able to get it working by doing the following:
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="//Users/username/projects/projectname/the.json"
The issue is covered mostly in the docs here.
the command varies slightly depending on what your OS is:
The GOOGLE_APPLICATION_DEFAULT environment variable you are setting is accessed by the google client libraries - it wont work with a relative path, you'll need to set the absolute path.

Integrating jQuery-File-Upload plugin with blueimp-file-upload-node npm module

I am trying to integrate the jQuery-File-Upload (https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload) with the npm module "blueimp-file-upload-node" to process file uploads.
Sadly, this package "blueimp-file-upload-node" has not been documented yet.
The frontend integration is working correctly, but I am struggling to get the upload functionality working.
I have read and followed this section:
https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Setup#using-jquery-file-upload-ui-version-with-nodejs which tells me to start the service by running:
./node_modules/blueimp-file-upload-node/server.js (notice, the path of this file is within my node_modules folder)
I would like to have the file uploader as a route of my app, (i.e. /upload) not a separate service, on a different port.
How would I go about that?
My code is here:
https://github.com/robsilva/fileUploader
I really appreciate if anyone can shed some light here.
Seems like you are looking for the express middleware

Localization file path error when using tap-i18n with meteor

I am running meteor inside a folder, like this
ROOT_URL="http://localhost:3000/registration" meteor
Also, i am using tap:i18n package for internationalisation support. The problem is that tap_i18n doesn't update the url for the localisation files and still makes request to http://localhost:3000/tap-i18n/en-US.json which is not a valid address, and hence throws 404 error. It should make request to http://localhost:3000/registration/tap-i18n/en-US.json. Notice the registration folder that was passed via ROOT_URL while starting meteor.
How can i tell tap_i18n package to honor ROOT_URL?
Ranjan,
I've setup a small demo project with some explanations on how to achieve your configuration. Please let me know if you could solve your issue.
How to configure tap:i18n with custom ROOT_URL
Check the configuration, you can set the i18n_files_route parameter
Configuring tap-i18n
To configure tap-i18n add to it a file named project-tap.i18n.
This JSON can have the following properties. All of them are optional.
The values bellow are the defaults.
project-root/project-tap.i18n
----------------------------- {
"helper_name": "_",
"supported_languages": null,
"i18n_files_route": "/tap-i18n",
"cdn_path": null
}

How does one set a proxy in lazybones?

I'm behind a firewall and lazybones can't reach its repository without a proxy.
I've searched the source and can't seem to find any reference to a proxy that seems to be relevant.
Support was officially added in version 0.8.1 of Lazybones, albeit via a general mechanism to add arbitrary system properties to the application in its configuration file, ~/.lazybones/config.groovy.
You can read about the details in the project README, but in essence, simply add the following to your config.groovy file:
systemProp {
http {
proxyHost = "localhost"
proxyPort = 8181
}
https {
proxyHost = "localhost"
proxyPort = 8181
}
}
You can use the systemProp. prefix to add any system properties to Lazybones, similar to the way it works in Gradle.
Is that what You're looking for? Basically You need to add some properties to gradle.properties file.
I am using Cygwin on Windows and I have modified the last line of
~/.gvm/lazybones/current/bin/lazybones
to say
exec "$JAVACMD" "${JVM_OPTS[#]}" -classpath "$CLASSPATH" "-Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1" "-Dhttp.proxyPort=8888" "-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|127.0.0.1" uk.co.cacoethes.lazybones.LazybonesMain "$#"
Please note the quotes around the options. It works very well with my local Fiddler installation.
I have found no better way to enable proxy support due to the way the script is using eval. Maybe a more experienced shell script programmer can come up with a more elegant solution.
I was able to get out through the proxy setting the environment settings of
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
-Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="lmig.com" -Dhttps.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080
unfortunately my environment requires authentication so I couldn't provide the complete proxy this way. I first ran "OWASP Zed Attach Proxy (ZAP)" which allowed me to run a proxy on my own machine (at port 8080) which then provided the complete authentication required.
This was able to then run the complete "lazybones list" command which retrieved the contents of the respositories.
Unfortunately I was not able to create an application from those templates becuase bintray required a login (though an anonymous login would do) and couldn't seem to get an additional level of authentication (I received "Unauthorized" from bintray)
