Error installing chaincode while deploying .bna file using Hyperledger Composer on local machine with Fabric 1.0.0 Production Release

I am following the my-network tutorial from the Hyperledger Composer docs and am getting the following error when deploying the .bna file to Fabric.

The command I use is:

composer network deploy -a my-network.bna -p hlfv1 -i PeerAdmin -s randomString

Error message:

✖ Deploying business network definition. This may take a minute...

Error: error trying deploy. Error: error trying install chaincode. Error: Connect Failed
Command failed

I am on OSX and have all the required preliminaries.

Solution

I had exactly the same error - assuming you are following the Hyperledger Composer Developer Guide.

I think this error comes about because at the end of installing the developer environment you run a command to stop and tear down the Fabric, but then the Developer Guide does not instruct you to restart it.

To fix I changed back to the fabric-tools directory and re-started Fabric:

cd ../..
./startFabric.sh

Returning to the original directory I then tried deploying it again:

cd my-network/dist/
composer network deploy -a my-network.bna -p hlfv1 -i PeerAdmin -s randomString

This got me to the Command succeeded all clear the guide tells you to expect.

Good luck.
