Hyperledger Fabric Error cryptogen tool

Question

I am trying to install and run Hyperledger Fabric on OSX. 

I have installed it properly but when I run the cryptogen tool I am getting the following warnings:

When i run the configtxgen tool, I get the following error:

The result is that no orderer.block is output into the e2e directory.

Can someone tell me how to solve this?

Answer 1

Make the following changes to the Genesis Block:

    Do not pass ORDERER_CFG_PATH=$PWD
    instead, pass the following: FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD

    In the network_setup.sh script, make the same change.
    It should be: export FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD

Answer 2

The right way to set the path is to export it like this:

export FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD

or you can add the PATH at the beginning of command, like this:

FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD ./bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsOrdererGenesis -outputBlock ./channel-artifacts/genesis.block

Answer 3

Maybe you're facing this error because you dont have cryptogen tool installed or because you dont have the latest version installed. To get the latest version, run the following command:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperledger/fabric/master/scripts/bootstrap-1.0.1.sh | bash

After the execution of this command, you will see a folder named bin. You have to copy these files to GOROOT like this:

cp ./bin/*  $GOROOT/bin

To check if this was successful, run the following command:

which cryptogen

It should show you the version of cryptogen tool

Answer 4

I faced the same error. It was working fine with my previous network but i got this error when i implemented a new network. I realized that the path in the .bashrc file was pointing to some other folder. I changed the PATH in the .bashrc file to the folder where my cryptogen tool was and then it worked fine. 

export PATH=$PATH:~/fabric-samples/network

Answer 5

I got same error on Windows. 

The solution that worked for me is passing same environment variable on same line as command execution.

$ FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD ./bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsOrdererGenesis -outputBlock ./channel-arti
