DynamoDB-Local

[Joe Buszkiewic]

When trying to connect to an instance of DynamoDB-Local I keep getting the following error.

{ [Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND] code: 'ENOTFOUND', errno: 'ENOTFOUND', syscall: 'getaddrinfo' }

I have specified my configuration options to look like this.

{ "accessKeyId": "Some Valid Key", "secretAccessKey": "Some Valid Secret", "endpoint": "localhost:8000" }

It seems like DynamoDB-Local is in fact running. And it seems to have created the io buffer. It isn't until I try to call a method, IE `createTable`, that I see this error.

Does anyone have any guidance on how to resolve this issue?

Ok I got past the initial error. The client is expecting endpoint to just be a fully qualified domain, and specify the port as another config option.

However, when I do that I get. I tried this request against my instance of DynamoDB on amazon and it worked without errors.

Error: Scan [400]: com.amazonaws.dynamodb.v20120810#MissingAuthenticationToken

Still, if anyone has any further insights I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I seem unable to connect to a local DynamoDB instance as well.

Is there some work around / parameters that allow local instances to work?

add this code to the top of your .js  file ,and the connection should be done,

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var databaseConfig = {"endpoint": new AWS.Endpoint("http://localhost:8000")};
  var dynamoDB = new AWS.DynamoDB(databaseConfig);
   var dynamoDBConfiguration = {
    "accessKeyId": "DummyKeyForLocalDynamoDB",
    "secretAccessKey": "DummySecretAccessKeyForLocalDynamoDB",
    "region": "eu-west-1"
  };

This does not work.  The auth() routine is hardcoded to hit 'sts.amazonaws.com'.  I do not see how the code below would do any good.  The node-dynamodb lib uses http calls directly to access aws.

I need local access.  Looks like if we need local access, this library (node-dynamodb) will not work.  Is too bad, because I like its auth and retry support.

Hi Andrew,

Which module did you end up using for local access ? The aws-sdk for JS seems to have this did you try that? Which module did you end-up using for production?

[Andrew Peebles]

I ended up just not using local access.  So I still use node-dynamodb, and I go to Amazon, even when testing and developing on my laptop.  I may need to re address this in the future but for now I am ok.
