Sails.js is not working with forever

Question

I m new on both sails.js and node.js. I created a simple api with sails.js. It works fine when I start it with sails lift --prod. On the other hand when I start the application with forever start app.js --prod and it always returns 0 altough I dont not get any error and warning and I can see my app.js in the list with the forever list command. I created a simple node.js application to test forever and it worked as expected. I tried to run my Sails.js application both my local windows and linux/ubuntu machine on digital ocean, they worked fine with sails lift but not forever. Also I tried node app.js --verbose and it was ok. My sails version is 0.11.4. Thanx for your help.

Answer 1

Well eventually I start my application with forever. Those are what I did

1. I checked forever commands and saw logs command which provides running forever applications log files.
2. When I checked the log file under c:\users\user-name\forever I saw a warning about Sails migrate settings should have been done.
3. Then I read this documentation about Sails migrate settings and I set my project as migrte: 'safe' .

Now it works fine.

Answer 2

Your error is similar to this: Cannot run with forever js

I think, you should open config/models.js and add migrate: 'safe'.
