Expected Behaviour

Sign in successfully to CVAT.

Current Behaviour

I am getting the following error:

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. I had CVAT worked well with the latest commits in the development environment.
2. I pulled the last commit.
3. I ran these commands in order to update CVAT :
   • pip install -r cvat/requirements/development.txt
   • python manage.py migrate
   • python manage.py collectstatic
   • npm ci
4. I got the same error that I am getting now so I completely reinstalled CVAT using these steps.

Your Environment

Operating System and version (e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS): Ubuntu 18.04

Here are the logs from VScode console:
server-chrome-logs.txt
server-django-logs.txt

Probably need to run OpenPolicyAgent:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up cvat_opa

Thanks, it worked. However, now when I try to register and create another account (after I have created the superuser), it immediately fails and I get this exception:

Do you have any idea of solving it?

Could you please send us a screenshot?

When I enter a character it is stuck:

This is what I see in VScode:

[bsekachev]

Just remove breakpoint on uncaught exceptions in VSCode. It is a validation libary which throws different exceptions while working. It is a normal behaviour I believe.

It worked, thanks!

Btw, maybe it is better to update the dev environment instructions, so it will include this:

Probably need to run OpenPolicyAgent:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up cvat_opa

Agree.

@AmitN1212 , could you please help us and contribute?

@AmitN1212 , could you please help us and contribute?

I'll try.
Should I also add instructions for installing docker and docker-compose inside it?

It is necessary for it:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up cvat_opa

@AmitN1212 , if you think it will make the tutorial better, let's do that. I will propose to insert links on official tutorials whenever it is possible. Otherwise it can be nightmare to keep it up to date.

@nmanovic Sure. Do you want me to change some more things that I think will make the instructions much clearer?

Another issue I faced while setting the development server was that the UI was not able to find the server

Replacing localhost to 127.0.0.1 fixed the issue
https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/cvat/blob/develop/cvat-ui/package.json#L8

I guess lookup from localhost to 127.0.0.1 is failing for some reason

[AmitN1212]

Replacing localhost to 127.0.0.1 fixed the issue

@g-kartik I think you can fix it with running the server:chrome configuration in VSCode after you run server:debug so you don't need to change this.

@g-kartik Downrading my Node v17 to smth like v12 fixed the issue for me, found the problem description here (v16 should also work)

[sanjanaarora]

Hi I am trying to install CVAT on my Linux Machine have tried all the above said solutions but still not able to configure. I have attached all the related screenshot to it. Can somebody pls help me with this

[azhiv]

@sanjanaarora I don't remember the exact details, but this might be fixed by configuring a virtual network for the containers. In this way the connection will become available, this was my case.

[sanjanaarora]

@azhiv thx for the rely but If I run in the virtual Environment with "docker-compose up -d" it works fine but when I want to use it for development using
docker run -d --rm --name cvat_opa_debug -p 8181:8181 openpolicyagent/opa:0.45.0-rootless
run --server --set=decision_logs.console=true --set=services.cvat.url=http://host.docker.internal:7000
--set=bundles.cvat.service=cvat --set=bundles.cvat.resource=/api/auth/rules

then it does'nt work
