Can anyone help me with setting up wasp for a saas project.
I've been following the docs but for some reason it does't work , when i run wasp db migrate-dev
it seems to put me on a loop that never stops.

Hi @bardh. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
It seems you're encountering an issue with the
wasp db migrate-dev command while setting up a SaaS project with Wasp. Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, there are a few potential reasons and solutions for this problem:
1. Resource constraints: If you're running this on a machine with limited resources (like an EC2 micro instance), it might cause the process to hang due to insufficient memory. As mentioned in this Discord thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1217483832404611195), the free tier EC2 instance with only 1GB of memory might not be enough for Wasp to run smoothly.
2. Interrupted process: Sometimes, the process might appear to be in a loop if it's taking a long time to complete. As suggested in the same Discord thread, you could try the following steps:
- Run wasp start db & in the background
- Then run wasp db migrate-dev
- If it hangs at the "Building SDK" stage, you can try to interrupt it and run npx tsc directly in the .wasp/out/sdk/wasp directory.
3. Clean and retry: As mentioned in another Discord thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1221144773834964992), you could try running wasp clean and then attempt wasp db migrate-dev again.
4. Check for updates: Ensure you're using the latest version of Wasp and its dependencies. You can check your Wasp version with wasp version.
5. Docker permissions: If you're using Docker, make sure you have the correct permissions set up. As noted in this solved issue (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1193138068195119104), installing Docker Desktop might help resolve permission-related problems.
If none of these solutions work, you might want to provide more details about your setup, such as your operating system, Wasp version, and any error messages you're seeing. This would help in diagnosing the issue more accurately.
Remember, if the process seems to be taking too long, it might be worth letting it run for a while (even up to 5-10 minutes) as sometimes the initial setup can take some time, especially on machines with limited resources.

when i run wasp db migrate- dev this just continues and never stops
never never?
I mean, the first time it took a time because it installs all dependencies and stuff
yeah i mean i let it for like 6 hours
Wohooo @bardh, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!
6 hours it's not normal. Where you are developing? WSL?
yeah
The application files are on the Linux subsystem? Or Windows?
Try
wasp clean, then run wasp db migrate-dev againyeah im using the ubuntu one , and with docker running on windows , i tried doing that i got : 🐝 --- Deleting the .wasp/ directory... -------------------------------------------
✅ --- Deleted the .wasp/ directory. ----------------------------------------------
🐝 --- Deleting the node_modules/ directory... ------------------------------------
✅ --- Nothing to delete: The node_modules/ directory does not exist. -------------
but the same results
So you are using WSL and installing npm deps takes 6 hours? It might be that your project is located on the Windows file system and not on Ubuntu file system
We have this guide for WSL and it might be helpful https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2023/11/21/guide-windows-development-wasp-wsl
i tried it again today and somehow it worked bu thanks for reply
