I have installed hyperledger composer locally. But on localhost it gives error :
Error : Error trying to ping.
Error: No business network has been
specified for this connection.
I am not able to add model and script file as well.
This is the errors showing in terminal
error: [Hyperledger-Composer] undefined:HLFConnection :ping() Error: Error trying to ping. Error: No business network has been specified for this connection

I think I solved this problem.
About the error
The error reason is No business network has been specified for this connection.
, this does not happen when you first time to run composer-playground
, because that time, you truly do not have a network and you either do not have card too, so there is a modal pop up Let's blockchain
.
This only happened when you stop/delete your business network net, or there is no business network running but you also have the business card linked to the network.
Solution
- Follow the tutorial to create a new
business network
locally
- restart your farbric tool by
stopFabric.sh
and startFabric.sh
, (* this is not to start your business network but your fabric)
- run your playground again
composer-playground
- probably you will also see the error again (
error trying to ping
), but no worry
- find a button at top right corner which is folded
My Business Networks
delete the card without connection
or deploy a new network
This worked for me, hope it will work for you too. This kind of process design limitation, the card is still there even you delete your network or your are trying to start your playground even you did not start your network. This is why this error happened I think.
Addition, More about playground
Hyperledger Composer Playground (Playground from now on) uses your
browser's local storage to simulate the blockchain network's state
storage, which means you don't need to run a real validating peer
network to use Playground.
Using browser-only mode, you can model and test the business network
using a mock blockchain ledger that resides in your browser's local
storage.
How to delete cache in browser Chrome
This probably can solve many errors.
In Chrome, for example, under Settings > Advanced > Content Settings >
Cookies > All cookies and site data > localhost, click the trashcan
icon to remove local storage. If you're using a different browser,
follow the instructions specific to that browser, and delete all local
storage.

- A very good IBM blockchain/ composer tutorial, just old, need to be pay attention to that some commands not working in the same way on new version of composer
I got the same issue here. I'm not sure what's wrong(maybe because I fail to create a business network last time). But since the playground store the data with browser local storage. I simply clear the local storage and fix it.
I had the same issue and it got fixed.
Clear the cache of your browser and refresh the page!
Noticed composer wasnt running in the terminal.
Runcomposer-playground
in the terminal and retry.
