parse deploy error in mac os - macos

Question

I am following the sample code and instructions given here. I created Parse account and an app in it.
I also installed Parse using
curl -s https://www.parse.com/downloads/cloud_code/installer.sh | sudo /bin/bash in MAC OS.
Now when I run parse deploy command from terminal, I get the following error stack:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Where am I getting wrong? How do I solve this?

Answer 1

once you have the project set up:
Ensure your global.json file is well-configured. For example:
{
"applications": {
"YOUR_APP_NAME": {
"applicationId": "YOUR_APP_ID",
"masterKey": "YOUR_MASTER_KEY"
},
"ANOTHER_APP_NAME": {
"applicationId": "ANOTHER_APP_ID",
"masterKey": "ANOTHER_MASTER_KEY"
},
"_default": {
"link": "YOUR_APP_NAME"
}
},
"global": {
"parseVersion": "1.2.18"
}
}
So from terminal, go in the folder at the same level of "cloud","config","public","test"
and run the command "parse deploy" that will call the deploy for the default app "YOUR_APP_NAME" ( change it to "ANOTHER_APP_NAME" if you have other app at which send that cloud code, for example a develop app and production app).
Ensure to have the "main.js" file in the "cloud" folder, and a sample index.html file in the "public" folder
If you have parse installed properly , you should be able to work with it.
Hope it helps
