[SOLVED] NodeJS serverside Moralis error (window is not defined)

Technical Issue Reporting
#5

Here is my codes:

let serverUrl = process.env.MORALIS_SERVER_URL;
let appId = process.env.MORALIS_APP_ID;
let masterKey = process.env.MORALIS_MASTER_KEY;

const moralisServer = async () => {
await Moralis.start({ serverUrl, appId, masterKey });
logger.info(“Moralis connected”);
};

moralisServer();

This works perfectly to call read funcitons like symbol “ERC721MockContract”. But if I use the code below:
let moralisSecret = process.env.MORALIS_SECRET;
const moralisServer = async () => {
await Moralis.start({ moralisSecret });
await Moralis.enableWeb3({
privateKey: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY2,
});
};
moralisServer();

It shows error: ABI is required!. Here is my full code:

const options = {
chain: “bsc testnet”,
address: “0x0252906b8835fBDB4b8E579db8641F1EC38b6D23”,
function_name: “ownerOf”,
abi: ABI,
params: {
tokenId: tokenId.tokenId,
},
};

const owenrOfNft = await Moralis.Web3API.native.runContractFunction(options);

this code doesn’t include the part where Moralis SDK is imported

#7

I have imported it in index.js file from where the server is running.

#8

still, how did you import it, what is the syntax that you used?

#9

If I imported it in a wrong way then it shouldn’t be work with “await Moralis.start({ serverUrl, appId, masterKey })”. I guess.

#10

there are different ways to import it, you can import the browser version or the server version

#11

const Moralis = require(“moralis/node”);
const moralisServer = async () => {
await Moralis.start({ serverUrl, appId, masterKey });
logger.info(“Moralis connected”);
};

It works perfectly with the read functions like “symbol” (Moralis.Web3API.native.runContractFunction). But doesn’t work with any functions where I use Moralis.executeFunction.

And this code doesn’t work with read functions. and gives that error.
const Moralis = require(“moralis/node”);
const moralisServer = async () => {
await Moralis.start({ moralisSecret });
await Moralis.enableWeb3({
privateKey: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY2,
});
}

#12

Moralis.executeFunction requires that private key

did you try with latest version of Moralis SDK?
I know that Moralis.transfer works in some particular circumstances.

#13

No. I didn’t try with the latest I guess. Please suggest me how to work with that.

#14

you install latest version of the sdk, you can check with Moralis.CoreManager.get("VERSION") what version is running now.

latest version now is 1.7.0

#15

Yes. I am using “js1.7.0” version. :sob:

#16

in this case, for now, you can use web3 or ethers syntax directly to execute a function with private key

#17

Please give me a sample code of it. It will be helpful for me. Thanks in advance.

#18

you could read on this thread:

#19

Still. I couldn’t solve the problem. :sob:

#20

What error(s) do you get? Or is it still the same one?

#21

Still it is same. Moralis SDK connection error. Given the error at the top.

#22

I got everything working fine, using:

await Moralis.start({ serverUrl, appId, masterKey, moralisSecret })

as suggested by Rick, you need to add moralisSecret, but do not remove the other params otherwhise the other functions won’t work anymore !

I wonder why this is not in the doc, and it is really hard to debug from the assert !

await Moralis.start({ serverUrl, appId, masterKey, moralisSecret });
await Moralis.enableWeb3({
  chainId: 0x61,
  privateKey: 'priate_key',
});

This works previously with me but now it is not working. I am getting the same error "window is not defined’. I have changed the chain to BSC testnet and Mumbai testnet (changed chain id too). But still it not working. Please let me know how to work with it now.

#24

This stopped working since Moralis discontinued speedy nodes. You can use web3js instead
