Is Canvas Data 2 EA broken for the time being?

[phanley]

It looks like the answer is "yes" judging from some other posts from the last few months, but since no one posted my exact issue I'm going to hope the answer is "you doing it wrong"

We've been waiting for CD2, and since the closed beta feels close I figured it was time to poke around the early access and get a feel for what's going on - I gave it the ol' npm i data-access-platform-cli , downloaded the config.json  from the EA blg post, got errors, discovered that apparently the cli doesn’t support node v14+ (or it didn't at some point), installed the version of node that @oxana had said worked on her machine (v10.19.0), removed and reinstalled data-access-platform-cli, relinked it, and still get some errors:

○ → dap -c path/to/config.json snapshot accounts

(etc.)

Since the version I installed was pretty new (1.0.7-4, 4 days) i downgraded to 1.0.19 (from a couple months ago), but still no dice:

Maybe that's better, I dunno.

 Is there a version that should work?  The 500 error from the older version could be really the same error as the latest version, just a different error message, so maybe something has changed with the config.json file that is undocumented?

I guess I didn't scroll down far enough?  It looks like the 500 error for anything has been standard since December, so I'm starting to think "it's not me, it's it."
