Orleans: “Running in a Stand Alone Silo” not running in my personal laptop

[mghosh4]

I have just started to get myself familiar with Orleans for a project. I have some questions regarding that. I am currently using the Step by Step Tutorial. Unfortunately when I try to run the example with "Running in a Stand-Alone Silo" in my laptop, the Grains collection fails with lots of exceptions. I am not sure how to troubleshoot that?

The document mentions "OrleansHost.exe is a ready-made host executable intended for running Orleans code on Windows Server (Azure has a different host)". I am not sure what this means? Is this the reason why it does not work on my laptop which has Windows 10 running?

I think these are the logs:

This was the log in the client:

The client cannot start, since the server did not. The question is why the server does not start. What else is in the log? Can you share the full silo log? It should work on Windows 10.

[mghosh4]

I am actually not sure how to find the full log. I found some logs in the bin/Debug folder (very small and maybe incomplete). It contains this:

Can you suggest me some other places that I should look?

[gabikliot]

That is probably the log. Please share it fully.

[mghosh4]

This is all that is in the log. I am attaching it as well.

Please re run at info level: change logging level in the config file to info and rerun and attach a new full silo log at info level. Now it's at warning level.

[mghosh4]

I changed the the default trace level in both DevTest{Client/Server}Configuration.xml files. I ran the test again. I can see both the command lines popping up and one of them (client) crashing after a logging a lot of output. Unfortunately, in the bin/Debug folder I do not see a server log and even the client log is attached
Client-2016-02-15-19.06.52.564Z.txt

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some other way to change the log level? Also, why is the client log missing some information at the start?

[gabikliot]

Sorry, but I need the silo log, at info level. Your client is OK, it can not start since server cannot start.
Please find the silo log, change its logging level to info and publish here the full log.

[mghosh4]

I have been able to copy the command line output of the server after running the application. Does this help?
Server.txt

Make sure Newtonsoft.Json is deployed into the bin/Debug.

[mghosh4]

There is Newtonsoft.Json in bin/Debug folder. What do you mean by deployed?

[gabikliot]

The best advice I can give is to start with HelloWorld sample and modify it.

[mghosh4]

That is exactly what I did. I started with HelloWorld Example. Then I followed these steps:

1. Added HelloWorldGrain to the startup project along with HelloWorld
2. Commented out #define USE_INPROC_SILO
3. Added the path to the bin/Debug which contains OrleansHost.exe in the HelloWorldGrains project's Debug>Start External Program

Is there anything else that I need to do?

@mghosh4 This is a known issue with the guide - #1317.

You need to update all Orleans NuGets to 1.1.2 and add https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Orleans.Server/ package.
