./luaScriptResource hangs on thingworx.handler: Cr...

sservices · ‎Feb 28, 2018

I have spent a a couple days trying to get a raspberry to talk to Thingworx using the tutorial. I am able to get connected to the websocket and everything, and I can see that the value for isConnected on the PiThing Properties tab change to true. My issue is that I can't get the luaScriptResources to finish the connection process and send any of the variables over to Thingworx to bind them. Here is the output from both ./wsems and ./luaScriptResources. If any of you see anything that sticks out or know of something else I can try please let me know.

It just hangs at this point and doesn't go on. If I change setting to some other ports i.e. 80 I will get this from ./luaScriptResources, which I feel is due to incorrect port choice so I think what is above is the correct configuration but I thought I would include this for completeness.

i face the same issue... i believe there is a bug in the system.

Can you please post your wsems log?

My system shows there is an error in running the twTlsClient ( Both LuascriptResource and my TW Foundation Server opens and closes the client connection) i get a DEBUG Msg like this..

[DEBUG] 01/Mar/2018:02:54:39 [+0000] HTTP Server: 154.29.168.192 - SeqId 4 - "" 400 375 "-"

if you see, it has inverted IP address... what can be reason for this?

pbatwal · ‎Mar 01, 2018

My server is getting stuck at this point and not moving forward

[DEBUG] 2018-02-28 01:17:24, 41 SDK: twTlsClient_Create: Initializing TLS Client

alex.augot · ‎Mar 21, 2018

This is a known bug in the some of the EMS's logging functionality that is reversing the IP address when printing to the log. It will be fixed in a future release.

pbatwal · ‎Mar 21, 2018

Thanks Al . But the problem for many people is not solved. EMS is getting stuck at receiving a reuest from Lua Resource Script. Any solution for that? This thread has all the details

alex.augot · ‎Mar 21, 2018

From reading the original log, it sounds like a port conflict. Try customizing your Lua Script Resource's config.lua to use a different port. If you don't customize a port, it will try to use 8001 by default. I've included a snippet from the docs that describes what values you can set in config.lua for the LSR and EMS's HTTP Server settings. You need to make sure the `rap` settings match how your EMS is configured.

--
-- Connection parameters that reflect EMS configuration settings
--
scripts.rap_host = "127.0.0.1"  
scripts.rap_port = "8000"
scripts.rap_ssl = true
scripts.rap_server_authenticate = true
scripts.rap_cert_file = "pki/ca.pem"
scripts.rap_deny_selfsigned = true
scripts.rap_validate = true

--
-- Lua Script Resource HTTP Server Configuration Parameters
--
scripts.script_resource_host = "127.0.0.1"
scripts.script_resource_port = "8001"
scripts.script_resource_ssl = "true"
scripts.script_resource_certificate_chain = "pki/LSR_HTTP_Server.crt"
scripts.script_resource_private_key = "pki/LSR_HTTP_Server.pem"
scripts.script_resource_passphrase = "password"
scripts.script_resource_authenticate = false
scripts.script_resource_use_default_certificate = false

pbatwal · ‎Mar 21, 2018

Pls refer to this thread. It’s not solved yet.

Hi,

Can you post the contents of your config.json file from the EMS? Did you create an application key on the Platform?

Thanks!

-- Craig A.

pbatwal · ‎Mar 01, 2018

yes... everything is working fine on the communication side...

TW server is talking to EMS and EMS and invoking the local host on 8001 port to ask for the remote thing..

Only issue is my remote thing from Config.lua is NOT getting registered.

lets take this scenario:

TW server is working and connected with EMS

EMS is working and connected to LuaResource.

I tested this when i try to query remote properties, request flows from TW Server to LuaResource.

Here is the log i get on Luaresource

[DEBUG] 2018-03-01 15:13:19,864 thingworx.server: Invoking /Thingworx/Things/LocalEms/Services/AddEdgeThing on server. content: {"keepalive":60000,"port":"8001","timeout":15000,"host":"127.0.0.1","proto":"http","name":"*ExampleThing","path":"/scripts/Thingworx"}
[TRACE] 2018-03-01 15:13:19,865 luaBindings:newRapClient: Found RAP at 127.0.0.1:8080
[TRACE] 2018-03-01 15:13:19,865 luaBindings: Got RAP timeout: 0
[TRACE] 2018-03-01 15:13:19,865 luaRapBindings: Self Signed certificates are enabled for the RAP conneciton.
[TRACE] 2018-03-01 15:13:19,865 luaRapBindings: Certificate validation is disabled for the RAP conneciton.
[DEBUG] 2018-03-01 15:13:19,866 SDK: twTlsClient_Create: Initializing TLS Client

It stops here and tries registering on EMS and They get timed out in 30 sec..

and TwTlsClient exists...

What am i doing wrong ?

pbatwal · ‎Mar 01, 2018

Here is my Config Json and Config Lua files

sservices · ‎Mar 02, 2018

Sure!
Here is the config.json file:
{
"ws_servers": [{
"host": "192.168.93.24",
"port": 80
}],
"http_server": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 8080,
"ssl": false,
"authenticate": false
},
"appKey": "fcf69600-210b-4845-bb3d-54fb9753f0a2",
"logger": {
"level": "DEBUG"
},
"auto_bind":[{
"name": "PiThing",
"port": 5000,
"gateway": false
}],
"certificates": {
"validate": false,
"allow_self_signed": true
},
"ws_connection": {
"encryption": "none",
"verbose": true,
"msg_timeout": 1000
}
}

And here is the config.lua:
scripts.log_level = "INFO"
scripts.script_resource_ssl = false
scripts.script_resource_authenticate = false
scripts.PiThing = {
file = "thing.lua",
template = "PiTemplate",
scanRate = 1000,
taskRate = 30000
}

scripts.rap_host = "127.0.0.1"
scripts.rap_port = 8080

I have the same problem. The EMS runs fine and stable. The moment I start the LSR and the handler sequence is started both twTLS clients on LSR and EMS are disconnected from the HTTP server.

Message on both LSR and EMS is:

HTTP Server : 1.0.0.127 - SeqId 4 - "" 400 375 "-"

I do only see SeqId 6 appearing with the same sentence

I believe the error only starts after the following message in the DEBUG log of the EMS:

TlsServerStream :: doopen: Setting S0_RCVTIMEO

Woonbootbewoner · ‎Mar 08, 2018

The reverse IP (1.0.0.127 did the trick. I believe it is a reverse DNS issue. I used local.host in config.json and config.lua instead of 127.0.0.1, seems to work.

Woonbootbewoner · ‎Mar 08, 2018

EMS is stable running and not disconnecting anymore when using the LRS.

Still a problem in the LRS for connecting to the Thingworx server. The Thingworx server cannot connect with the LRS for creating a new handler.

DEBUG: The Thingworx server invokes AddEdgeThing on the server.

DEBUG: HTTPCLient: Error initiatizing a TLS stream

ERROR: The HTTPClient initialized an exception while opening a connection request to local.host.on 8080.

ERROR: LuaBindings: httppost: Error postng to httpserver

sservices · ‎Mar 16, 2018

I gave this a try, changing the config files to localhost gives me the same behavior as before unfortunately. The difference I see though with your output in your first reply was the line HTTP Server: 127.0.0.1 - SeqId 6 - "" 400 375 "-" Mine says nearly the same thing, but gives me HTTP Server: 0.0.0.0 - SeqId 6 ... I am not sure why I am getting 0.0.0.0 in that line. Do you see something I might be missing in my above config files?

kvantair · ‎Mar 13, 2018

Hi,

I am also facing the same problem whenever I try to start the LSR the EMS becomes unstable and LSR is stuck at that point. Did you find a way to fix this?

Thanks,

Kartik

pbatwal · ‎Mar 13, 2018

Did you try the reverse DNS solution given in this thread?

kvantair · ‎Mar 13, 2018

Yes, I have tried reversing the IP address but it didnt work. Attached are my Lua and EMS files

EMS

{
"ws_servers": [{
"host": "pp-1802081344qn.portal.ptc.io",
"port": 80
}],
"http_server": {
"host": "97.99.88.10",

"certificates": {
"validate": false,
"allow_self_signed": true
},
"ws_connection": {
"encryption": "none",
"verbose": true,
"msg_timeout": 1000
}
}

LSR

scripts.log_level = "INFO"
scripts.script_resource_ssl = false
scripts.script_resource_authenticate = false
scripts.PiThing = {
file = "thing.lua",
template = "PiTemplate",
scanRate = 1000,
taskRate = 30000
}

scripts.rap_host = "97.99.88.10"
scripts.rap_port = 8080

Could you tell me is there any error in the code

pbatwal · ‎Mar 13, 2018

they have changed the documentation and the new docs are in place.. i will try doing this in 3-4 hrs time and let you know.

Meanwhile my suggestion to you is to have a quick hands on Java or C SDK. that is much easy to use and gives you complete control over the remote thing.

kvantair · ‎Mar 13, 2018

Thanks for the reply could I get any documentation for the Java and C SDK so that I can get handson experience.

vish · ‎Mar 14, 2018

Hey,

Did you try and resolve the problem of running LSR? I'm still hanging at :Creating a new handler. Please let me know if you find the solution.

Thank you!

alex.augot · ‎Mar 21, 2018

I think what's happening here is the Lua Script Resource is unable to bind on it's default HTTP server port, which is 8001, because there is something else already bound on that address. You can see that error in the logs here:

[ERROR] 2018-02-28 21:59:38,495 httpserver: Server socket error: Address already in use [127.0.0.1:8001]
[ERROR] 2018-02-28 21:59:38,495 httpServer: unable to bind http server to port=8001, trying next port.
[ERROR] 2018-02-28 21:59:38,495 httpServer: unable to bind http server to any port from 8001 to 8001.

If the LSR can't start it's http server, it will never be able to respond to requests from the EMS and would make sense that it would seem stuck (although I haven't confirmed this myself). Have you tried customizing the 'script_resource_port` value in config.lua?

pbatwal · ‎Mar 21, 2018

Alex - I request you to set up a quick 30 min with me tomorrow so that I can show you what is happening. I have done all combinations of IP and ports and the problem lies somewhere else. I have compared the log with a working one as well. I have the system running and I can show you over WebEx. Pls suggest

alex.augot · ‎Mar 21, 2018

Hi pbatwal,

I'm sorry you're encountering this issue. Can you please open a case with support and provide them with the details you shared here, including logs, config files and environment details. I'm not able to hop on a call but if you open a case I can make sure someone on my team takes a look into your issue.

Thanks,

-- Alex

pbatwal · ‎Mar 22, 2018

Hi Al - I have already opened the issue and it was with Craig Arko. The issue did not get resolved as concluded that the EMS guide needs revision for TW8.2. But even after guide update nothing has changed.

Can you pls open a case or let me know how to open a case?

CRArko · ‎Mar 22, 2018

Hi, pbatwal.

Now handling this as case 14063213.

Thanks,

Hello,

I struggled a lot with this issue and realised that a problem in the Microserver 5.4 or in the LRS inside the package can cause these recurring disconnections. I fixed by installing the Microserver 5.3.4. There are still some network glitches but now I can always see the Thing connected. Let me know if you are successful as well.
