I have setup a local private test net and now I want to connect from Node.js to a node in the testned using IPC. I started a node with this command:
./geth --identity "5" --datadir /home/davide/Documents/Ether/5th/ --networkid 4999 --port 30600 --nodiscover --ipcpath /home/davide/Documents/Ether/5th/geth.ipc --shh
This is my node.js scrypt
const http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var net = require('net');
var Web3 = require('web3');
var web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.IpcProvider('/home/davide/Documents/Ether/5th/geth.ipc', net));
console.log(web3.version);
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
res.end(web3.version+' '+console.log(web3.currentProvider)+' '+console.log(web3.eth.accounts)+' '+web3.contentProvider);
});
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`+web3.eth.accounts[0]);
});
and on the web page I get the following output:
1.0.0-beta.33 undefined undefined undefined
If I try to connect through geth attach
everything works but with node.js it doesn't. What is the problem?
