Getting Application Error

Michael Webb May 18, 2015 11:50 AM

Hello all,

I am new to this, I have setup a application server on Heroku, it was fine once I installed Sparkler I got Application error, so I figured I should follow all the steps in the documentation then try again. I am still getting an application error, I tried to look at the logfiles didn't see much, maybe I am doing this wrong. Any suggestions or places I should look to resolve the issue?

Thank you very much

Michael

An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.
If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.

$ heroku logs
2012-01-01T12:00:00+00:00 heroku[api]: Config add EXAMPLE by email@example.com
2012-01-01T12:00:01+00:00 heroku[api]: Release v1 created by email@example.com

I am not sure how to get more info from the logs.

I've made some progress.. I think..

The application error only happens after I deploy the sparkler war. here are some of the log files.

4. Re: Getting Application Error

Scott Williams May 19, 2015 8:30 AM (in response to Michael Webb)

I also get an error installing on Heroku. I have tried using a WAR file I just downloaded today (sparkler.war) as well as one I downloaded last week (sparkler-1.0.0.war).

Now I do have an older version of the war file (sparkler-reference-0.0.2.war) that I was able to use and successfully install using the same exact instructions so something is different between the older war file and the newer war files.

Here are my log files from my most recent failed installation using sparkler.war I downloaded today.

When I did some research the errors we are getting have to do with some environmental variables, unfortunately I have not been able to resolve the issue yet. I may try to call Tableau, never called them before not sure how much help they will be, however, I will update this if I get an answer.

A co worker at one of our other organizations gave me a heroku app he created a while ago with an older version. I made the variable changes and it worked fine.

What variables did you set?

In the one application I was able to get working - using an older war file - I actually didn't set up any variables and it was still working fine.

Hello.
I'm facing with the same error.
Can anyone provide me an example of variables for Heroku?

I figured out in what was problem for my case.
I added in Config Vars:
Key - SPARKLER_SFDC_CONSUMERSECRET
Value - HerokuMapper
And then restarted my dyno.
Then I go to my https://HerokuDomain/keepAlive
And it's works as expected.
In future SPARKLER_SFDC CONSUMERSECRET value should be changed to value from Salesforce Canvas app.

Yuri, I'm getting similar errors...so I configured the Sparkler.xml according to the docs but looks like its not recognizing the xml?

How did you launch your commands? I used this syntax: on Heroku cmd:
java -jar target/webapp-runner.jar target/sparkler-1.0.4.war --path /x/webapp-runner-master --context-xml /x/sparkler.xml

Thanks,
