$rdf is not defined

[jaxoncreed]

Hey Jeff,

First time using solid-file-client. I had some trouble with the following error: ReferenceError: $rdf is not defined. It seems that something wants rdflib, but it can't get it. Here's my code:

import { SolidNodeClient } from "solid-node-client";
import SolidFileClient from "solid-file-client";

const auth = new SolidNodeClient();
const fileClient = new SolidFileClient(auth);

async function run() {
  const inputPath = "/clone-to-solid-pod/testClone/";
  const targetContainer = "https://solidweb.me/jackson/cloned/";
  const refreshToken = ".....";
  const clientId = ".....";
  const clientSecret = "....";
  const oidcIssuer = "https://solidweb.me/";

  let session = await auth.login({
    clientId,
    clientSecret,
    refreshToken,
    oidcIssuer,
  });

  if(session.isLoggedIn){
    await fileClient.copyFolder(`file://${inputPath}`, targetContainer);
  }
}
run();

Hmm, are you sure you aren't doing anything else other than what you show there? I copied it locally and changed only the target and jwt and got no errors and the stuff cloned correctly. AFAIK the only reason solid-node-client would need $rdflib is the stuff mentioned in the README about patch of local files.

Sorry, I didn't include the call stack.

The problem seems to be here https://github.com/solid/solid-rest/blob/main/core/src/handleResponse.js#L116. Any ideas?

I don't think I'm doing anything else locally. The project uses typescript, but I don't think that should affect anything.

Oh, darn, yes. I added ability to pass JSON-LD in the accept header and that uses $rdf. It would only get triggered when passed an explicity accept header which is why it failed for you and not me. I'll fix trap it and document it. Thanks!

Cool thanks!

Hey @jeff-zucker do you know when this will be fixed?

[jeff-zucker]

I will do it today.

Version 2.1.1 of solid-node-client should now include version 2.1.8 of @solid-rest/file which should now include version 2.14 of @solid-rest/core which should solve this problem in solid-file-client.

[jaxoncreed]

Awesome! Thanks

[jaxoncreed]

Okay, I'll close out this issue, but I've encountered another problem in this issue: solid-contrib/solid-rest#76

[jaxoncreed]

Hey, sorry for the delay in testing. I'm still experiencing the problem.

To recreate it, go to this repo: https://github.com/o-development/clone-to-solid-pod and follow the instructions labeled "Running the program without the github hook" in the readme.

You should see the message ReferenceError: $rdf is not defined

Fixed in o-development/clone-to-solid-pod#1
