How Do I Fix 'Metadata Load Error' in AGE Viewer?

When using npm start to start AGE Viewer, I get the following error in my terminal.

Still, AGE Viewer runs just fine on port 3000.

Now, I'm trying to connect to my database on Viewer, and I get the error 'Metadata Load Error'. Error message shown in AGE Viewer

I also noticed that information about my graphs, nodes, and edges are missing. Clicking the dropdown to select Current Graph does not show any of my graphs.

I expected that information about the existing graphs, nodes, and edges in the database were displayed, and that there were no errors on connection to my database.

Solution

  • The error may be happening because you are using pg version > 12. In that case there should be a .version sql file in the backend folder of age-viewer. Because there's a code to fetch the sql version and match it with the .sql file, without which metadata endpoint will not give proper response, and so graph will also not load.
