App-BUilder "Config not found" error?

Hi all,

Has anyone bumped into this error found in splunkd.log when using the Addon builder app? My test TA validates fine, but is never run thereafter.

Full event is:
ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "python /opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA-test/bin/test.py" GlobalConfigError: Config Not Found for Input, input_type=test, input_name=test, config_type=account, config_name=test

Seems like globalConfig.json file is missing in your app. Please check the path: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/{APP_NAME}/appserver/static/js/build/globalConfig.json

Maybe you can rebuild it and try again.

No, it's there.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9807 May 8 13:15 1.1.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2035035 May 8 13:15 common.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12023 May 8 13:15 configuration_page.js
-rw------- 1 root root 18203 May 8 13:15 globalConfig.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14685 May 8 13:15 inputs_page.js

I got around this by using the text and password inputs from Add-on builder rather than the global.

Hi @chli_splunk

i have the same problem, in my case the file didn't exists.

I've build my App with the Add-On Builder. Should the file be created automatically when an app is created by the add-on builder? I can't make any sense of the documentation

@shugup2923 I have not created the config file, my app fulfills its purpose even without the configuration file. The app will not be published, so I no longer go through the validation process

@Marius732 I have no issue with validation, I packaged it and when trying to deploy this add-on on my prod environment I am getting this error -

splunktaucclib.global_config.configuration.GlobalConfigError: Config Not Found for Input, input_type=devices, input_name=abc_prod, config_type=account, config_name=abc_prod

Hi @shugup2923 maybe you have under the add-on setup parameters -> preconfigured parameter the check with global account settings in it can that be?
