[BUG]: my first example piece (Gelato) fails to run (followed docs)

[ahmad-swanblocks]

I am trying to create Gelato piece following the documentation here: https://www.activepieces.com/docs/developers/building-pieces/create-action

Then I ran the app and when I create connection and click on save, it raises an error as below.
Any idea please?

Hi @ahmad-swanblocks

is gelato in your AP_PIECES_DEV environment variable?

[ahmad-swanblocks]

Thank you for the quick reply.. Yes, and it shows in UI, but when I try to create the connection it fails, is there any other config I miss although I exactly followed the steps and also tried on another machine with another developer?

@abuaboud
I think most probably it is a cache issue as when looking at the logs while executing (validating) the connection, it generates cache files and then it looks for the modules in the cache (e.g. \dev\cache\sandbox\NONE-apId-2gQi7cJ0Nhm7H1tJaDRRS\node_modules@activepieces\pieces-framework") and does not find them and also the same for @activepieces\pieces-gelato

And when I go to this path, I found it empty.
Is there a way to skip the cache? or is it a known issue with known solution? Thanks!

Update:
I've tried it in GitHub CodeSpaces and it works fine (after pulling the latest release), but when running the app locally or on dev containers it raises the error that I mentioned.

My local machine:
Windows 11 Pro
Node v18.20.0
npm 10.5.0

Hi @ahmad-swanblocks

I think it's seems permission issue, can you please run it as admin, and that should fix it, or use dev container as they are reliable.

Closing this issue, please reopen If you still face the issue.
