Trouble connecting to my surrealdb instance

[jascenc1]

I've been attempting to use the SurrealDB Schema Generator to generate zod schemas and TypeScript clients for my SurrealDB database. While the generator works flawlessly when using the "memory" connection URL, I encounter issues when trying to connect to my local SurrealDB instance running via Docker. Specifically, the process hangs indefinitely with a "connect to database" message and fails to proceed further. I'm also able to connect to surrealist.app with the information I add to the config file.

Configuration Used

Below is the surql-gen.json configuration file I'm using:

{
  "schemaFile": "schema.surql",
  "surreal": "memory",
  "username": "my_username",
  "password": "my_secret_password",
  "ns": "my_namespace",
  "db": "my_database",
  "outputFolder": "./path/to/outdir",
  "generateClient": true,
  "lib": "surrealdb.js"
}

Connection URLs Attempted

I've tried various URLs to connect to my local SurrealDB instance:

• http://localhost:8000
• http://localhost:8000/
• ws://127.0.0.1:8000/rpc
• ws://127.0.0.1:8000

Additionally, I've confirmed that my normal connection method to SurrealDB using surrealdb.js is through WebSocket URLs like ws://127.0.0.1:8000/rpc, which works fine in my application, but seems incompatible with the schema generator's requirements.

Environment:

Node: 18.19.0
npm: 10.2.3
SurrealDB.js: 0.11.0
sebastianwessel/surql-gen: 1.1.2

Hey,
thanks for your feedback and sorry for the delay.
I have released version 1.1.3 which has changes in the authentication.

Maybe you want to try out again and let me know if there is still an issue?
As far as I understand, you use a SurrealDB instance within a local docker container with authentication?

[lylejohnson]

Yes, we're running a local SurrealDB instance (with authentication enabled) in a Docker container. With @sebastianwessel/surql-gen version 1.1.3, values of "ws://127.0.0.1:8000" and "ws://127.0.0.1:8000/rpc" work now for the "surreal" parameter in our surql-gen.json file, so this problem is resolved for us. Note that the "http://127.0.0.1:8000" and "http://127.0.0.1:8000/" values still don't work; I get an error message like so:

$ npx surql-gen -c surql-gen.json
connect to database
node:internal/process/promises:289
        triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
        ^

[Error: There was a problem with the underlying datastore: Cannot connect to the 'HTTP' remote engine as it is not enabled in this build of SurrealDB] { code: 'GenericFailure' }

The issue should now be resolved.
