Docker anvil-server and dependencies

[dave2]

I am trying to run my app on the latest docker version of anvil-server.

I have downloaded the dependencies and placed them in pier directories, but I am getting the following error when I run the container:

The app you requested could not be loaded.
This app may be misconfigured. The following error occurred:

App dependency not found

Here is the directory structure:
±-anvil.works/
| ±-MyApp/
| ±-anvil-extras/
| ±-material-3-theme

anvil.yaml:

allow_embedding: false
correct_dependency_ids: {dep_lin1x4oec0ytd: 4UK6WHQ6UX7AKELK, dep_mh1r0kj22geoes: C6ZZPAPN4YYF5NVJ}
dependencies:
- config: {}
  dep_id: dep_lin1x4oec0ytd
  resolution_hints: {app_id: 4UK6WHQ6UX7AKELK, name: Material 3 Theme, package_name: m3}
  version: {version_tag: v1.2.1}
- dep_id: dep_mh1r0kj22geoes
  resolution_hints: {app_id: C6ZZPAPN4YYF5NVJ, name: Anvil Extras, package_name: anvil_extras}
  version: {version_tag: v3.1.0}
name: Librarian 1.0.1
native_deps:
  head_html: |-
    <script>
    var lastScrollTop = {};
    function getScrollPosition(selector) {
      lastScrollTop[selector] = $(selector).scrollTop();
    }
    function restoreScrollPosition(selector) {
      $(selector).scrollTop(lastScrollTop[selector]);
    }
    </script>
package_name: M3_CoreLight_Librarian
runtime_options:
  client_version: '3'
  server_spec: {base: python310-standard}
  server_version: python3-full
  version: 3
services:
- client_config: {}
  server_config: {}
  source: /runtime/services/tables.yml
startup: {module: Main, type: form}
startup_form: null

Is there a parameter I need to pass to the container indicating where to find the dependencies?

Thank you!

Does anyone have any help on this one? Am I missing something that is obvious?

Sounds like you just need to include the code for your dependencies and point to it.

There is information on this in the anvil-runtime github repo here dep-id

The App Server looks for dependencies in the parent directory of the app (that is, dependency apps should be checked out next to the main app directory, not inside it).

dep-id:
  "MAGTM7NPDRPPUAWY": "MyLibrary"
  "LUBRMCXK3R4FTTH3": "CustomComponent1"

I am having the same issue.

Placing a dependency directory next to the main folder, does not help, something needs to be done with dep_id.

[racersmith]

You are right @augustas.volbekas, you need to use dep-id in the config file to let Anvil know where each dependency lives. This is a map between the opaque id and the directory containing the dependency.

So, for @dave2 it would look something like this:

dep-id:
  "4UK6WHQ6UX7AKELK": "material-3-theme"
  "C6ZZPAPN4YYF5NVJ": "anvil-extras"

[dave2]

@racersmith

dep-id:
  "4UK6WHQ6UX7AKELK": "material-3-theme"
  "C6ZZPAPN4YYF5NVJ": "anvil-extras"

Thank you so much for the reply. I have created a file config-file.yaml and placed it in the MyApp directory. Here is a copy of that file.

dep-id:
  "4UK6WHQ6UX7AKELK": "material-3-theme"
  "C6ZZPAPN4YYF5NVJ": "anvil-extras"

From the MyApp directory, I run docker with:

docker run -v /code/container/anvil.works/librarian-1.0.1:/apps/MainApp -p 3030:3030 anvilworks/anvil-app-server --config-file config-file.yaml

And I receive the following error:

Found Anvil App Server JAR in package directory

So from the error, it can’t find my config-file.yaml. Using the full directory path failed as well.

If I remove the --config-file from docker I get the following:

Which makes since as it does not know where to find them.

What am I missing?

Check out this post, this helped me a lot:

Hosting anvil app on a server: how to deal with dependencies?

What I’m trying to do: Launch an anvil app on a server. What I’ve tried and what’s not working: It depends on a m3 package. I’ve downloaded m3 from github. It starts the server, but then it shows that dependencies are not found. Code Sample: Example of a config file app: "M3_App_1" #directory name origin: "https://test.domain.com" dep-id: "dep_123: "m3" #from anvil.yaml Does anybody have a working example of a config file? Any help is appreciated?
