Failed to deploy a sample Javascript HTTP adapter

Question

I am beginning my journey into the MobileFirst Platform 8 Beta, and I would like to deploy my very first sample adapter. I am using an instance of the Mobile Foundation service on Bluemix.

When trying to deploy the sample adapter, I get the error stack below:

Could someone please provide some help? Thanks

Answer 1

It has not really failed deployment. This is a known issue that is resolved internally.

Visit your console and you will see that the adapter is there, deployed.
Alternatives:

• Use the MobileFirst CLI (v8.0 beta) to deploy the adapter file
• Deploy the .adapter file manually in the console
