Hyperledger Fabric - unable to instantiate - Missing contract org.hyperledger.fabric in metadata

Question

I followed the documentation for the Commercial paper, but stuck at instantiation.

I used Fabric 1.4, tried to search online, but have not find anyone has the proble

Answer 1

Until https://jira.hyperledger.org/browse/FAB-15287 is addressed the workaround for now is to modify the package.json files in the magnetocorp/contract and digibank/contract directories. Look for the entries

"dependencies" : {
   "fabric-contract-api" : "~1.4.0",
   "fabric-shim": "~1.4.0"
},

and remove the ~ (tilda) from the version numbers ie

"dependencies" : {
   "fabric-contract-api" : "1.4.0",
   "fabric-shim": "1.4.0"
},

This should revert it back to using 1.4.0 rather than 1.4.1 which at writing is the current 1.4 version and the sample should work.
