Error when starting rest-hapi plugin: Cannot set property 'Promise' of undefined

[klishevich]

I tried for two hours to start rest-hapi demo project, but failed. Maybe I missed something. Would appreciate help.
When node api.js get error:

TypeError: Cannot set property 'Promise' of undefined

My package.json

{
  "name": "rest-hapi_test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"

  "dependencies": {
    "hapi": "^17.4.0",
    "mongoose": "^5.1.0",
    "rest-hapi": "^0.43.1"
  }
}

My api.js

'use strict';

let Hapi = require('hapi');
let mongoose = require('mongoose');
let restHapi = require('rest-hapi');

async function api(){

    const server = new Hapi.Server(restHapi.config.server.connection);

    const plugins = [
        {
            name: 'restHapi',
            version: '1.0.0',
            register: restHapi.register,
            options: {
                mongoose: mongoose
            }
        }
    ]

    await server.register(plugins);
    await server.start();
    console.log(`Server running at: ${server.info.uri}`); // eslint-disable-line
}

process.on('unhandledRejection', (err) => {
    console.error(err); // eslint-disable-line
    process.exit(1);
});

api();

P.S. Also tried with canonical example from docs it does not work as well.

Hi @klishevich, the package.json and api.js files you posted don't match the rest-hapi-demo files. Are you sure you posted the right files (the package.json you posted doesn't have a dependency on rest-hapi for instance)? I tested the rest-hapi-demo project and it seems to be working fine.

@JKHeadley sorry my bad, copy pasted wrong file. I updated package.json it the issue and this is the link for GitHub repo with my test project - https://github.com/klishevich/a_learn/tree/master/rest-hapi_test

@klishevich thanks for the link. So the issue here is that you are trying to use hapi v17, which is currently incompatible with rest-hapi. I'm in the process of updating to v17, but in the meantime if you would like to use rest-hapi you will need to work with hapi v16. You can find the v16 docs here. Hope this helps!

@klishevich rest-hapi v1.0.0 is now available with Hapi 17 support.

@JKHeadley thanks!
