Error: getting tunnel url: didn't find tunnels that were expected to be created

Welcome to Atlantis bootstrap!

This mode walks you through setting up and using Atlantis. We will

• fork an example terraform project to your username
• install terraform (if not already in your PATH)
• install ngrok so we can expose Atlantis to GitHub
• start Atlantis

Press Ctrl-c at any time to exit

GitHub username: NeckBeardPrince

To continue, we need you to create a GitHub personal access token
with "repo" scope so we can fork an example terraform project.

Follow these instructions to create a token (we don't store any tokens):
https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/#creating-a-token

• use "atlantis" for the token description
• add "repo" scope
• copy the access token

GitHub access token (will be hidden):
=> forking repo
=> fork completed!
=> terraform found in $PATH!
=> downloading ngrok
=> downloaded ngrok successfully!
=> creating secure tunnel
=> started tunnel!

That error message should definitely be improved. Is it possible you're already running ngrok somewhere?

Can you paste the output of curl localhost:4040/api/tunnels? We throw that error if there's more than 2 tunnels in the output. I know the bootstrap exits right away so you won't be able to do that curl while it's running but if you do it before and you see some existing tunnels then that would explain the issue. If you stop the existing tunnel then that will fix the issue.

The code should be changed though so that it looks for the tunnel running on 4141 and then it will work with multiple tunnels running at the same time.

@NeckBeardPrince... 😆 I pushed 0.3.6 which should work for you (or at least give a better error): https://github.com/runatlantis/atlantis/releases/tag/v0.3.6

[NeckBeardPrince]

@lkysow Sorry for the delay.
Not running ngrok.

Updated to 0.3.6

Hmm okay there's something else then. Can you manually run the ngrok command we're running? We must not be capturing the error there properly:

cat >> config.yml <<EOF
web_addr: localhost:41414
tunnels:
  atlantis:
    addr: 4141
    bind_tls: true
    proto: http
EOF
/tmp/ngrok start atlantis --config config.yml

If it says there's no ngrok in /tmp/ngrok then download it from https://ngrok.com/download.

Also what OS are you on? Thanks!

@lkysow Again, sorry for the delay.

Here is the stout log from ngrok

After the few errors it did end up connecting.

Okay thanks, so I think I need to follow the logs and wait until we see client session established, then move on to the rest of the script.

For my reference, need to run with --log stdout --log-format json.

Thanks for your help, I'll get to this asap.

@lkysow Awesome, glad I could break stuff for you :)
