Node-js-sdk example can't connect to tasklist

Camunda 8 Topics
1

I am following the example at Node.js | Camunda 8 Docs

I am using self managed camunda 8 with kind as per Local Kubernetes cluster | Camunda 8 Docs

I have port forwards:
kubectl port-forward svc/camunda-platform-zeebe-gateway 26500:26500
kubectl port-forward svc/camunda-platform-operate 8082:80

When I run the full node-js-sdk example I get this output:

Starting worker…

}

Is there something missing from the example?

Hi @bencaldwell
have you followed these configuration steps? Node.js | Camunda 8 Docs

Yes that link is the procedure I’ve followed.

Thanks to @jwulf I have resolved this (Does not work with local self-managed stack · Issue #6 · camunda-community-hub/c8-sdk-demo · GitHub)

The issue is that I was using the docker-compose.yaml in the repo GitHub - camunda/camunda-platform: Links to Camunda Platform 8 resources, releases, and local development config to define my local cluster. This docker compose file does not include permissions for the zeebe client to connect to tasklist etc. apis.

I think that the docker-compose file should include these permissions so local development works out of the box. I’ve raised a PR that does this Add keycloak permissions so zeebe client can access tasklist etc. by bencaldwell · Pull Request #619 · camunda/camunda-platform · GitHub
