Unable to register against the Forest Admin server: Socket connection timeout.

[mminklet]

Trying to use forest login but immediately receive this message. Can't get any further details as there doesn't appear to be a verbose flag. CLI is the latest version. Tried different networks

On MacOS 12.6.6, using version
forest-cli/3.4.2 darwin-x64 node-v20.2.0

× Unable to register against the Forest Admin server: Socket connection timeout.

This is the output of NODE_DEBUG. Don't really see anything unusual when compared to my colleagues

I have no VPN, I have changed the DNS to use googles (8.8.8.8), used a tethered mobile network. I've also downgraded to versions that my colleagues are using.

I have pinged all 3 IP addresses listed above that it is trying to connect to and they all respond

Hi @mminklet,

Before digging into this error, it could be interesting to know if the latest beta version has the same issue.

We are working on a version 4 of the toolbelt v4 that drops the support of Node 10-11-12-13 and probably provides better support for Node 20 (according to our automated tests base).

A pre-release is available via a first beta version (v4.0.0-beta.1).

You can install it:

• using npm, via npm i -g [email protected]
• using yarn, via yarn global add [email protected]

Let me know if it helps.

[mminklet]

I solved this by downgrading node to 18. The latest version of node does not work with this package

[arnaudbesnier]

The latest version of node does not work with this package

You could be right for the toolbelt v3 you are currently using, as it as not be tested on Node 20.

That being said, with the toolbelt v4.0.0.beta.1, we added Node 20 to our automated test base, and all tests are green.
That’s why I suggested to test this latest version.

[mminklet]

Could you update the engine in the package.json to limit the cli to node versions that it does work on?

[arnaudbesnier]

Using the toolbelt v3.4.3 and Node 20.2.0, the login command works as expected on my end.

So I would not say that the toolbelt v3 is incompatible with Node 20 based on my own experience.
I don’t think we should restrict the toolbelt usage.

[mminklet]

Which OS are you on? I still get it. 20.3.0 works, but 20.2.0 will not

[arnaudbesnier]

MacOS v13.2

[arnaudbesnier]

Hi @mminklet,
For your information, we officially released the toolbelt v4.0.0.

You can upgrade with the following command line: npm install -g forest-cli@latest
Please let us know if this version is still not compatible with the specific Node version 20.2.0.
