In Hyperledger Fabric when I try to invoke, I'm getting the following error: chaincode definition for 'fabcar' exists, but chaincode is not installed

Question

I've followed 2 different tutorials

https://github.com/swetharepakula/Fabric101Workshop and

https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-2.0/deploy_chaincode.html.

Both times when I query installed it shows fabcar is installed and it commits successfully, but in both when I try to invoke I receive the following:

Error: endorsement failure during invoke. response: status:500 message:"make sure the chaincode fabcar has been successfully defined on channel mychannel and try again: chaincode definition for 'fabcar' exists, but chaincode is not installed".

I've tried changing CORE_PEER_GOSSIP_USELEADERELECTION=true, but this stopped one of my peer nodes from starting up.

I'm working on a Mac and the nodes are running in docker, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I've had this error when I used the wrong packageID when approving on one of the organization

When using approveformyorg, checkout that you use respective $PACKAGE_ID_ORG1 and $PACKAGE_ID_ORG2:

On org1 :

peer lifecycle chaincode approveformyorg \
     --channelID $CHANNEL_NAME \
     --name $CHAINCODE_NAME --version $CC_VERSION \
     --package-id $PACKAGE_ID_ORG1 \
     --sequence $CC_SEQ -o orderer:7050 --tls --cafile $ORDERER_TLS_CA

On org2 :

peer lifecycle chaincode approveformyorg \
     --channelID $CHANNEL_NAME \
     --name $CHAINCODE_NAME --version $CC_VERSION \
     --package-id $PACKAGE_ID_ORG2 \
     --sequence $CC_SEQ -o orderer:7050 --tls --cafile 

Otherwise it would give me the following info :

On org1:

bash-5.0# peer lifecycle chaincode queryapproved -C bankscochannel -n fabcar
Approved chaincode definition for chaincode 'fabcar' on channel 'bankscochannel':
sequence: 1, version: 1.0, init-required: false, package-id: fabcar-v1:002d3fc291572c3e8bc52fea3b228cbd1877ab87669978759fc75f51f893a0dd, endorsement plugin: escc, validation plugin: vscc

0n org2:

Note that in the console output the result of both peer lifecycle chaincode queryapproved return the same package_id which is not correct

Answer 2

You may not have set the correct --package-id when you approved your chaincode definition

I encountered the same problem as you,that is because I have set uncorrect --package-id 1ec5f659f7b95978829202e4201cd969ccb0952a9c87a1bb51c9588b518923a1,but correct --package-id value should be sacc_1.0:1ec5f659f7b95978829202e4201cd969ccb0952a9c87a1bb51c9588b518923a1
