thingworx flow install mathjs

[mmancin]

Hi,

I am trying to install within nodejs module the mathjs library to be able to use the unit converter. I have a problem to install an external library. I followed the guide on the portal but i can't install the module and whitelist it.

At first, I install mathjs into ThingworxFlow folder

cd C:\<PROGRAM FILES>\ThingworxFlow
npm install mathjs

I run the command to download the settings file

flow-deploy settings download -f ‘.\settings.json' -t "https://<url>:443/Thingworx" -u 'Administrator' -p ‘pass' -c devtools -s default -l debug

I edit the whitelistExternal with "mathjs" and then upload

flow-deploy settings upload -f ‘.\settings.json' -t "https://<url>:443/Thingworx" -u 'Administrator' -p ‘pass' -c devtools -s default -l debug

but from flow keeps telling me that it is not whitelisted. What can I do?

Hi @mmancin.

Please provide a link to the guide you are referring to and provide the version of ThingWorx/Flow you are running.

Did you get any errors when you ran the commands?  We can see in the statements you provided, you're using smart quotes in some cases, which could be causing an issue:

Hi, i follow this guide

https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/it/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Integration_Orchestration/ConnectorDevelopmentSDK/DeployingConnectors.html

About smart quotes I think are copy/paste error on this forum because the command correctly run into powershell.

Hi @mmancin.

Looks like you sent the wrong file.  In your script, you are referencing settings.json.  That is the one we need.

Thanks.

Hi @mmancin.

Is it possible that you got an error on upload?  If you're not sure, try it again and let us know.  In the meantime, I'll work on setting up my environment to be able to test it.

Regards.
